Create fields on a container

Question

Is it possible to create fields on a container? I know how to create an alv or insert a graphic, but can I also create fields on a container?

Answer 1

ALV is a gui control , which means it can be bind with the screen via custom container and container on the screen. Generally most of "modern" controls are created dynamically by instiantating one of delivered class (i.e. cl_gui_alv_grid, cl_salv_table, cl_gui_alv_tree etc).
On contrary, we have classical controls just called controls . These, on the other hand have to be phisically placed on the screen (like fields, checkboxes, radiobuttons, pushbuttons etc) or can be used on selection screen via parameters or select-options statements. These controls must reside on screen itself (without container). You set them statically (and possibly change their attributes dynamically in loop at screen loop).
As for the question itself: NO, fields (as part of controls ) can be placed only on the screen or subscreen which you can in turn display dynamically druing program execution (using subscreen area ). No container is involved here.
