Custom sorting in Web Dynpro ALV columns

Hello Experts,
I want to implement custom sorting on some of columns in Web Dynpro ABAP ALV.I searched in SDN forum,but couldn't find much useful information on this?are there any events through which we can achieve this?
is it technically feasible?
Any information on this will be great help.
Thanks,
Naidu

Hello Thomas,
Thanks for your quick response.Actually i want to display Price and currency values together in single column ,like 5000 USD.For this i have to use character field as i can't take currency field .If i take char field for price,sorting will based on character type rather than decimal type.Due to this,i want to implement custom sorting on that particular field.
Anyhow thanks for confirmaion.
Thanks,

Show image in Web Dynpro ALV column

Hello everybody,
I have a WD component with an ALV table bound to a context node. Works very fine so far.
Now in the first column of the node I have put an image source (MIME object in my WD component).
I configured the first ALV column as Link To Action and now would like to link it to the image source. My problem is that the image is not loaded in the ALV.
This is my coding (INIT method of my view):
METHOD wddoinit .
DATA: lo_alv_cmp         TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,
              lo_alv_if          TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table,
              lo_alv_config      TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table,
              lo_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings,
              lo_column          TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column,
              lo_link_to_action TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_link_to_action.
get instance of ALV component
lo_alv_cmp = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
IF lo_alv_cmp->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
    lo_alv_cmp->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
get instance of ALV Interface Controller
lo_alv_if = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
configure ALV
lo_alv_config = lo_alv_if->get_model( ).
lo_column_settings ?= lo_alv_config.
lo_column = lo_column_settings->get_column( 'IMAGE' ).
CREATE OBJECT lo_link_to_action.
fix settings for test purpose (how must I change it to get the information from the context node??)
lo_link_to_action->set_image_height( '50px' ).
lo_link_to_action->set_image_width( '50px' ).
lo_link_to_action->set_image_source( 'ICE Flottenportal.jpg' ).
lo_column->set_cell_editor( lo_link_to_action ).
ENDMETHOD.
Thanx a lot in advance for any help!!

Thanks a lot for your helpful advice.
I now found that method cl_wdr_utilities=>get_mime_path is the best way to get the path.
But one question is still open:
How can I retrieve my image source from the context? Do I have to read the context and then write it to the image_source attribute? Or ist there a more elegant solution?
Thank you for any help!

Separatate column of Web Dynpro ALV table using a vertical line

Hi Experts!
I have Web Dynpro ALV table and I have a requirement to add a colored vertical line between two columns as a separator.
Is this possible? Is it possible to adjust border width of individual cells?
I would be grateful for any ideas you may able to share.

Both could be achieved by creating custom theme. But those changes will be applicable to tables and ALVs in your applications.

Web Dynpro ALV grid column colour

Hi,
I have tried to set the colour of a column for my web dynpro alv with the below code but it the colour for this column has not changed - it seems to remain the standard colour. Is there something else i need to do?
DATA: lt_columns TYPE salv_wd_t_column_ref
      , ls_columns TYPE salv_wd_s_column_ref
      , lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column
lt_columns = lo_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_columns( ).
LOOP AT lt_columns INTO ls_columns.
    IF ls_columns-id CS 'TOTAL_'.
      lr_column = ls_columns-r_column.
      lr_column->set_cell_design( cl_wd_abstr_master_table_col=>e_cell_design-positive ). "CL_WD_TABLE_COLUMN=>E_CELL_DESIGN-GROUP_LEVEL1
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Samir,
You will have to create an attribut WDUI_TABLE_CELL_DESIGN and bind this attribute with the cell design property of the column. Check this wiki link [https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ABAP%20Web%20Dynpro%20ALV%20-%20Change%20Cell%20Colour%20based%20on%20Content], it will solve your issue.

Web Dynpro ALV grid column width

Hi,
I have a web dynpro alv grid that has columns titles that are long. What is the best way of displaying the data without taking up too much space with the titles?
For example is it possible to wrap the title into 2 or 3 rows
Thanks,

Hi,
DATA: lr_column type ref to cl_salv_wd_column,
lr_colheader type ref to cl_salv_wd_column_header.

How to Email POWL Reports / Apply Web Dynpro ALV Table Layout Settings

Hi all,
we want to be able to automatically extract POWL reports and email them to users in a batch job.
We can refresh a POWL report using FM POWL_QUERY_REFRESH, and access the raw report data using method CL_POWL_QUERY_ACCESSOR=>GET_CACHED_RESULTS.
However this merely gives us a table of raw data. No view layout (ie. Web Dynpro ALV table layout) settings have been applied, so there is no hiding or arranging of columns, row sorting, calculations or filters.
Ideally we would like to be able to specify a query and view layout. The batch job would then refresh and extract the data, and format the data according to the view layout before sending it on as an attachment in an email.
Does anyone know how to determine and apply Web Dynpro ALV table layout settings to format table data outside of the Web Dynpro environment ?
Thanks & regards,
Grogan

Hi Grogan,
Did you find out how this works..i also have the same issue.
Thanks

Web dynpro ALV requirement with search help

Hello Experts,
I developed a custom transaction in Web dynpro. It has an ALV display in editable mode where the user can enter Material number, plant, quantity and Batch as input fields for Production confirmation.
There is a requirement to add a search-help to BATCH field similar to the one that appears in std. MFBF transaction. Basically what it means is that I will have to capture the material, plant of that line in ALV table and get the stock and batch details from MCHB table and provide them in search help.
I created a dictionary search help with a search-help exit FM that will extract the details from MCHB table. I am having trouble in extracting the line index to get the material number and plant values from the view to export.
Please help me as to how to extract the line index of an ALV table for which the F4 help was clicked.
Also it would be great if I could find a much simpler and better approach to handle the requirement.
Regards
Pratyusha

Hi,
If you have set the help mode as dictionary search help in your context, and if you have defined your search help to have these importing and exporting parameters, then it will work without you doing anything else. Provided you have mentioned the name of the search help in the structure definition itself. You do not have to write explicit event handlers for dictionary search helps.
Or else, you can use an OVS search help. In that case, in the OVS event handler, you will have a parameter ovs_callback_object. Ovs_callback_object->context_element will give you the element on which the F4 was clicked. If you do a get_static_attributes on that, you will get the values of each attribute. Then you can call your function module to get the Batch field. I think OVS will suit your requirement. You can see examples of OVS in the component demo_value_help in the package swdp_demo.
Hope this helps.

Nithya

Web Dynpro ALV grid totals

Hi,
I have created an application that uses a web dynpro alv grid. I want to display totals - is there a setting that can do this automatically - if so, can you please tell me how to do this?    Thanks,

Web Dynpro ALV grid format

Hi,
I have a web dynpro alv table that has many columns (about 20) I would like it to be displayed so that the user does not have to scroll right to see all the data.
at the moment columns:
col1 col2 col3 ......col19 col20
i would like the second half of the table under the 1sta half:
col1 col2 col3...col9 col10
col11 col12...col19 col20
Is there any way that i can get the table to be split into two or some other nice way to display without scrolling?

You won't be able to do this with a single ALV. I suppose you could have two ALVs and bind them both to the same context. You wouldn't be able to sync the veritcal scrolling between the the two ALVs however. I'm also not sure how usage this design is from a UI design pattern. I would think the acceptible approach would be to use horizontal scrolling within the ALV. You don't have to make the ALV display all columns at once as this can make your entire page very wide and require using the browser scrolling. Instead consider using the set_scrollable_col_count method.

Web Dynpro ALV vs. Table

Hello,
can u please describe the main differences between Web Dynpro ALV and Web Dynpro Table ?
When do I choose which component for my applications ?
Thanks in adavance
Best regards
hermannh

Hi,
SAP List Viewer (ALV) is a tool which is used to display lists and tabular structures and provides a lot of flexibilty for report generation.
Flexible in the sense , it has a lot of inbuilt functionalities which are used in general in a reporting and thus helps in reducing a large amount of coding.
for eg: <code> CALL METHOD alv_grid->set_table_for_first_display
   EXPORTING
     I_STRUCTURE_NAME              = 'YCLII_CUST_STRU'
   CHANGING
     it_outtab                     = CUST_TAB
<code>
The above method is used for table generation. Mny more funtionalities such as sorting and re-arranging of result output is also available.
for further info check this link.

Input field in Web Dynpro ALV does not have correct focus

Hello Friends,
Our client's SAP system is recently upgraded with ECC 6.0 SP 18.
After that the focus in the editable field of Web Dynpro ALV does not working properly by down arrow navigation.
The common scenario:
The ALV has more than one rows and one column is editable...
when user is selecting field of first row and making some entries...
after that pressing down arrow it is going to next row and coloring the field like focusing...
but the 'cursor' is not blinking so user can not make entry without clicking by mouse...
this was working Ok before upgrade...
Could you please anyone have a look and propose a suitable solution?
Thanks
Krish

Hello,
The problem was with Javascript....which play an important role in layout of web dynpro ALV...
which resides in MIME repository -> SAP ->PUBLIC - >BC ->NW5 ->JS ->SAPURI_Ie6....
We wrote to SAP for giving us the fix...
after we got a new file from SAP the problem is solved...
also we have to clear server cache through SMICM and client cache...
Thanks.

Wrapping text with web dynpro ALV

Hi there,
I have got an web dynpro ALV and have set the SET_FIXED_TABLE_LAYOUT value to abap_true. This provides what i need apart from instead of not showing the text that can not be fit into the available column width I would like it to wrap the text, so it is all displayed. Is this possible?
Also is there a way to allow the user to change the width of the columns by clicking on them and dragging them bigger/smaller.
Thanks and Regards
Mart

Hi Mart,
Please refer this [thread|Wrap in ALV], it might help.
Also is there a way to allow the user to change the width of the columns by clicking on them and dragging them bigger/smaller.
Refer the reply of Thomas Jung in this [thread|Adjusting Column width on Web Dynpro ALV].

How does one enable:
1) Column selection (single & multi)?
2) Cell selection (single & multi)?
This is Web Dynpro ALV 2004S support stack 6.

Detail Button in Web Dynpro ALV

Hi at all,
when I create an ALV in Standard ABAP there is a small "Detail" button on the left side of the button row without any additional complex programming.
How can I get this button in Web Dynpro ALV?
Dirk

The standard ALV Component in Web Dynpro doesn't have this features. It wouldn't be too difficult to add manually. You could simply bind a custom view to the lead selection of the same context you are using in the ALV and use the form wizard to generate the UI elements. It isn't quite as nice becuase it woudl require a few manual steps for each usage of the ALV where you want this functionality.
