Context menu's in Alv Report (Grid)

hello,
what i have done- i have created a ALV report by using the function modlue REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
what i want- When user clicks with Right mouse button on some cell.
context menu should get displayed. a list of menu should appear then user can select one of these options and eventually i'll on user command.
however i know the concept of context menu's and i have created context menu on screen elements in module pool.
but i have no idea whether these menu's can be created on ALV Grid.(simple ALv Grid----not ABAP OOPS)

check the program BCALV_GRID_06, it gives a demo of context menu functionalty,
but it uses cl_gui_alv_grid

Adding menu bar in ALV report

hi,
I have written an ABAP report using ALV . We need to add a button to the menu bar of the screen that appears after the report is run, not on the selection screen. And when report is executed user will choose for example STOCK then it has to go to the transaction(QA03).
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Goto SE41, create a pf-status for your alv report program.
On the next screen, click menu EXTRAS --> click option ADJUST TEMPLATES and select radiobutton LIST VIEWER --> you will get all standard buttons of alv in the pf-status.
Delete the unwanted buttons and also you can add new buttons if reqd.
Activate pf-status --> and apply in alv program.

Customer defined Context Menu in WD ALV (ABAP)

Hello,
is it possible programming a customer defined context menu for a Web Dynpro ALV (in ABAP)?
The functionality should be as following:
Open Context menu with right mouse click, select something like "display details" and then detail data shall be displayed under the ALV.
Exists a documentation for that?
Thanks and regards,
Josephine

When you are defining your content attribute at the controller do not try to bring all the value attributes rather provide the dictionary structure and make sure that cordinality is 0...n.
Then as and when you change the dictionary structure you would be able to view the columns corresponding to that.
Make sure that your select stmt is modified accordingly when you are binding it to the context.
Cheers

How to Enhance the Context menu in a Web Report

Gurus,
Scenario is to Enhance the Context menu in a Web template with some Custom Values. I found some notes in SAP.HELP but could not get thru it.
If anyone has added some Custom developed menu's in the Context menu, can you let me know as well.
Urgent help would be appreciated as well as rewarded with marks.
Regards
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
I have done this for solution manager with bex integration,
Go TO last part of pdf there it is discussed with screen shot.You need to hav a query go to web template.and use the html tags to insert something into your context menu.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ad0a4b07-0301-0010-5095-ef7615676fc0

ALV: Context Menu: Standard Functions: Copy to clipboard: How to throw?

How can I throw the standard function "copy to clipboard"
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_FC_LOC_COPY <&LOCAL&COPY>
If I try to throw it with the method
<ref to cl_gui_alv_grid>->set_user_command(
EXPORTING i_ucomm = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_copy )
, it doesn't work.
This standard function is a feature of every context menu of an ALV grid control.
It is possible to inactivate it via the method
<ref to cl_gui_alv_grid>->disable_functions
, so it must be the right function code.
I visited that the "application server is working"-logo
(the blue waving-water-picture in the upper right corner of
every SAP GUI window) doesn't move if I use this function via
context menu.
So possibly there is no server-turn-around between the
presentation server an the application server when using this
function. The application server only catches an event
cl_gui_alv_grid_base=>evt_copy_clipboard_failed <34>
on copy malfunction.

Hi,
there is a simple method to put something to the clipboad. I have done it a couple of times and it works fine.
Data Definitions:
DATA: BEGIN OF clippboard OCCURS 0,
 line(172) TYPE c,
 END OF clippboard.
cnt1 type i.
ABAP Example:
 refresh clippboard.
 append xx_outtab_pos-prodh to clippboard.
 CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>clipboard_export
 IMPORTING
 data = clippboard[]
 CHANGING
 rc = cnt1.
In this example the content of the field xx_outtab_pos-prodh has been put to the clipborad and can be inserted anywhere by pressing Ctrl/V.
If you want to restore it from the clipboard, there is a m
ethod called cl_gui_frontend_services=>clipboard_import. It works the same as the clipboard_export.
Best regards

Context Menu in BW Report Iview not opening after upgrade to Portal 7.3

Hi All,
We have a unusual problem that, the Context menu of the BW reports for options like filtering is not opening post Upgrade to Portal 7.3 for End users.
However, with Super Admin role, the Context menu opens for the BW report Iview.
I have tried giving the same permission that the Super Admin Role has on the BW Report Iview to the End users, still no success.
Any idea? Anybody faced same kind of problem?
Please revert for any more info.
BR,

Hi Uday,
This is really a shot in the dark since I have not done much with 7.3. Have you checked for UME actions that are assigned to the administrator but not the end user?

Get selected function in a context menu with cl_gui_alv_grid

Hi,
I'm trying to implement a context menu on a alv grid. I defined and implemented a method for the event CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST to add function codes to context menu. It works ok.
The problem is retrieving the function selected in context menu. I tried to define in the class definition a method for event CONTEXT_MENU_SELECTED (that seems to be the event to use) but i can't implement it because is defined as protected event in CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
How i can implement a method to catch this event and determine te function code defined in the context menu??
Thanks.

The tool bar isn't the best mechanism to use for selecting Rows etc but should ideally be used for discrete functions like SAVE, UPDATE, DOWNLOAD TO EXCEL etc.
For data manipulation look at ON DATA CHANGED, ON DATA CHANGED FINISHED and DOUBLE CLICK.
Probably the easiest way is to use the double click event
methods on_dubbelklik
 for event double_click of cl_gui_alv_grid
 importing
 !e_row
 !e_column
 !es_row_no .
methods dubbelklik
 importing
 !e_row type lvc_s_row
 !e_column type lvc_s_col
 !es_row_no type lvc_s_roid .
method constructor.
create object grid_container1
 exporting
 container_name = 'CCONTAINER1'.
 create object grid1
 exporting
 i_parent = grid_container1.
 set handler z_object->on_user_command for grid1.
 set handler z_object->on_toolbar for grid1.
 set handler z_object->handle_data_changed for grid1.
 set handler z_object->handle_data_changed_finished for grid1.
 set handler z_object->on_dubbelklik for grid1.
 call method grid1->register_edit_event
 exporting
 i_event_id = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_evt_enter.
endmethod.
method dubbelklik.
perform dubbelklik in program (caller) if found
 using
 e_row
 e_column
 es_row_no.
endmethod.
Now in the application program
when a double click event is done the method calls routine dubbelklik in the calling program
The row / column nr and field name will be passed to your subroutine.
(In my calling class for the grid I make the calling program one of the parameters);
form dubbelklik using
 e_row type lvc_s_row
 e_column type lvc_s_col
 es_row_no type lvc_s_roid.
read table <dyn_table> index e_row into wa_elements.
etc.
where <dyn_table> is my grid data table.
Any comparable method should work.

ALV Report in Production

Hi Everyone,
 We have done ALV report (grid contains 22 columns which belongs to one ztable) in development and we have transported to production system.
 and Now we added one more field i.e. not related to ztable that means external field(23rd field to grid) to Field catalog and sent production,
And that extra column which we added is coming in development and also in test system, When we tried to execute it, the extra field is added in the grid and when come out of the selection screen it is getting short dump(we are getting dump error in standard program) and one more main problem is:
 The code has been moved but 'extra field is not showing in ALV grid' in production system what would be the problem? and also when we come out of the selection screen it getting short dump as same in development.
Could anyone help me out in this.
Thanks in Advance,
~Teena.

The code has been moved but 'extra field is not showing in ALV grid' in production system what would be the problem? -->No one can say any thing until unless we are not sure of ur Code , may be check ur layouts of that program ? are u using any default varints ?
and also when we come out of the selection screen it getting short dump as same in development.-->check ST22 , u will get some idea ? or else paste ST22 here so we can get some idea , IN ST222 search for point from where DUMP OCCURS ( means search for arrow mark

Control overlapping and context menu

hi guys,
I have this layout with a Panel, a Tab Container and a Datagrid. Basically the Panel is the parent of the Tab Container, and Tab Container is the parent of the Datagrid. My Datagrid has a context menu on it. But what happened was I can't get the context menu to show up because if I do right-click on the grid, the context menu from the Panel is what I'm getting, not the context menu I setup on the grid, but If I move the grid outside the panel its working good. Anyone encountered same thing? How will I surpass this overlapping?
Best Regards!

Hey Flex, thanks a lot! I should have known this is a bug on Flex 4 Panel right? Thanks for the tip, got it by setting the mouseEnabled=true on the Panel and on the custom Panel Skin as well.
Best Regards!

Disable ALV grid context menu

Hello ABAP experts,
I have developed a program which shows some output in ALV grid (CL_GUI_ALV_GRID). I don't want the user to play with columns and rows of grid, so I have removed toolbar using following:
LVC_S_LAYO-NO_TOOLBAR
I have noticed, still user can hide or show columns and delete rows by right clicking on the grid. I want to disable right click or context menu. I am unable to get any hint so far.
I appreciate for some good solution.
Thanks,
Waqas Rashid

Hi,
Just as stated by Max you can use the event 'CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST' in the class 'CL_GUI_ALV_GRID'. In fact I just tried out calling the event. I set the handler for the event 'CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST'. And then in the implementation I just called the clear method. Example is below.
class lcl_events_split definition.
public section.
    methods:
    CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST   for event CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST
                                                    of cl_gui_alv_grid importing E_OBJECT.
endclass.                    "lcl_events_split DEFINITION
class lcl_events_split implementation.
method CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST.
      e_object->CLEAR( ). "THIS SHOULD STOP THE RIGHT CLICK MENU BAR
    endmethod.
endclass.
    CREATE OBJECT O_CC
      EXPORTING CONTAINER_NAME = 'CC_ALV'.
    CREATE OBJECT O_ALV
      EXPORTING     I_PARENT = O_CC.
And before you call you grid for display below code is required.
data: ls_spl_events   type ref to lcl_events_split.   "Event Handler class
    set handler ls_spl_events->CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST for O_ALV.
    CALL METHOD O_ALV->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
      CHANGING
        IT_OUTTAB = T_MARA
        IT_FIELDCATALOG = LS_FIELDCATALOG.
Hope this helps ......

How do I create a context menu in the new ALV object model (cl_salv_table)?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to create a context menu (right click on line or field) in the new ALV object model (class CL_SALV_TABLE)?
Thanks in advance
Keld Gregersen
PS: In the past we could use event CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST in class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID, so it must be possible

I don't think there's "any such animal" in the new class. I'm not 100% certain however but the new class is only useful for fairly simple display only type grids.
There's no edit capability either.
I'd stick with cl_gui_alv_grid until there's some decent extra functionality in the cl_salv_table class.
It's fine for quick "bog standard" displays as it doesn't need a field catalog or any screens to be created by the user or developer - but you pay a price for that in limited fnctionality.
Cheers

How to create Context Menu for Full Screen ALV

Dear Experts,
Please tell me the procedure to create Context Menu for ALV Grid (full screen ALV using SLIS ).
Regards
Arnab

Hi,
Check the demo program BCALV_GRID_06

2.1.1 Problem with User Defined Reports with actions on the context menu

I use the User Defined Reports quite a lot, and export and publish these to other members of the team as Shared Reports. I'm also quite disappointed that there seems to be no further development in this area of SQL Developer.
One of the totally undocumented features of User Defined Reports is the ability to attach actions to a context menu, and pass data from the grid to a procedure, for example. Copying, then exporting the sessions report (from All Reports -> Data Dictionary Reports -> Database Administration -> Sessions) exposes the XML for adding actions to the context menu. The snippet for killing a session looks like this:
<item reload="true" reloadparent="false" removeFromParent="false">
<title>Kill Session</title>
<prompt type="confirm" >
 <label>Kill Session?</label>
 <default><![CDATA[]]></default>
 <value><![CDATA[]]></value>
</prompt>
<sql><![CDATA[ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '#SID#, #SERIAL#' IMMEDIATE]]></sql>
<help>Kill the selected session.</help>
</item>So to add this type of functionality to your own user defined reports, you need to export the report, edit the XML, and import it again. It seems to work fine to add this to the master reports, but if you add an <item> element to the child reports, the context menu items appear on the master report too, and they are duplicated many times. I'm not sure if the action of exporting the report adds to the number of times the context menu appears.
Warning - if you edit a report using SQL Developer, all the <item> tags are removed. Once you've added actions to a context menu, you can only edit the report by exporting it, modifying the XML and importing it again.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Have you found a work-around?
To the SQL Developer team: Are there any plans to allow the adding of user defined context menu items to reports using the GUI in the near future?

You're right the context menu needs a GUI desperately. You can request this at the SQL Developer Exchange, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.
Regards,
K.
