How to exclude toolbar in ALV dynamically

[Former Member]

Hi, Experts

I can exclude some toolbar by passing the internal table lt_exclude when first calling the method as below:

call method g_grid->set_table_for_first_display

EXPORTING

it_toolbar_excluding = lt_exclude

CHANGING

it_fieldcatalog = pt_fieldcat

it_outtab = pt_outtab.

Now, my problem is after that, in runtime, how can change excluding toolbar again?

Thanks a lot.

Tom,

I have spent a bit of time on this. It does not appear that you can after instantiating the grid.

It appears that you must release/destroy the grid and re-build with the new toolbar. Hopefully, this is not a common event OR you can leave the buttons on the bar at all times... and trap WHEN it is appropriate. If not appropirate then msg box the user.

Uwe,

Certainly, you can disable and enable buttons "on the fly." But I think this developer wants buttons to appear and disappear from the screen. Not disable them as in your example.

Tom,

Can you clarify your needs?

Hello John

If you want the buttons to disappear here is the coding of the event handler (please refer to my previous posting):

*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*       CLASS lcl_eventhandler IMPLEMENTATION
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
CLASS lcl_eventhandler IMPLEMENTATION.

  METHOD handle_toolbar.
    DATA:
      ls_button    TYPE stb_button.


    ADD 1 TO md_cnt. " a simple counter

<b>*   Simply delete the entries from the toolbar instance</b>
    DO md_cnt TIMES.
      DELETE e_object->mt_toolbar INDEX 1.
    ENDDO.



  ENDMETHOD.                    "handle_toolbar

ENDCLASS.                    "lcl_eventhandler IMPLEMENTATION

Hi Uwe,

Thanks a lot for the code, i'm already gonna need it.

You deserve the 10 points.

Hello Tom

Of course you can change the toolbar dynamically. You have to call method <b>grid->set_toolbar_interactive</b> and an event handler method for <b>event TOOLBAR</b>.

The following sample (modified version of BCALV_GRID_DEMO) shows how to do (my coding is in bold):

[code]PROGRAM test.

DATA: ok_code LIKE sy-ucomm,

gt_sflight TYPE TABLE OF sflight,

g_container TYPE scrfname VALUE 'BCALV_GRID_DEMO_0100_CONT1',

grid1 TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid,

g_custom_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_custom_container.

When you run the program simply push several times the ENTER button. You will see how the buttons of the toolbar are inactivated one by one.

Try this to make the toolbar invisible:

call method g_grid->set_toolbar_visible

IMPORTING

visible = 0.

Then when you want to make the toolbar visible again then set visible = 1.
