Drop down in a Table

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I need a drop down in table.It is binded to a context and should be populated with values(yes/no) from the context. But based on the data selected from the other columns it should default to yes or no. and then let user choose . How is this achieved.
Thanks all for your help.

Hi,
In a table, while u create binding,
1.Select the context node
2.In "Cell Editor of Table Column" u can select dropdown by index.
By doing so u will get dropdown in the table.
If the contexdt binded to the dropdown is character type, u can update the intenal table with "yes/no" and bind internal table to context node.
If not add a new field and update the field with "yes/no" value.
Thanks

Drop down in a table not in ALV table but the normal table

Dear All,
My question is regarding the drop down in a table.
I am trying to put the drop down in a table and i am trying to fetch the data from the Data dictionary.
Since my table contains more than 3 records all the columns are fetched accordingly but the drop down column is not getting set as per the reords of the database.
When there is one record in the table then i am able to set the value of drop down as per the database and fill the drop down but when there are multiple records in the database all the values are set as same .
For eg my datbase consits of 2 records and 1st record consists of drop down value as ""open"" and my 2nd record as "Cancelled" then the two values are over written as ""Cancelled " "Cancelled".
To over come this situation suggest me with a solution .
Hope i am clear with my question.
Regards,
Sana.

Hi......
I too got the same prblm like you but i solved it... here is the solution...
first i have used dropdownbykey list box for my scenario...
then in the wd_doint...
DATA LS_VALUESET TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
DATA LT_VALUESET TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST.
DATA LO_ND_INFO TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO.
DATA LO_ND_ND_EDUCATION TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE.
DATA LO_EL_ND_EDUCATION TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <ND_EDUCATION> via lead selection
LO_ND_ND_EDUCATION = WD_CONTEXT->GET_CHILD_NODE( NAME = WD_THIS->WDCTX_ND_EDUCATION ).
get element via lead selection
LO_EL_ND_EDUCATION = LO_ND_ND_EDUCATION->GET_ELEMENT( ).
get element via lead selection
LO_ND_INFO = LO_ND_ND_EDUCATION->GET_NODE_INFO( ).
i have the values in lt_subty fetched from database.
LOOP AT LT_SUBTY INTO LS_SUBTY.
 LS_VALUESET-VALUE = LS_SUBTY-SLART.
 LS_VALUESET-TEXT = LS_SUBTY-STEXT.
 APPEND LS_VALUESET TO LT_VALUESET.
ENDLOOP.
get all declared attributes
LO_ND_INFO->SET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SET(
 EXPORTING
 NAME = 'SLART'
 VALUE_SET = LT_VALUESET ).
Hope this will help you.....
if still dint come.... reply me....

Linking 2 drops downs and having tables appear

I need to link 2 drop downs together so that the second is dependant on the first. I also need to have a table appear when the second drop down option is selected. If they change their mind and select a different option in the 2nd drop down a different table needs to appear. Currently i have 2 drop downs that are linked so that the options in the 2nd will change but i cant link this for a table to appear? Im not great with Java or scripting.

Hi Melissa,
In the change event of 2nd DropDown you can put the following code.
var a = xfa.event.newText
if(a == 5) // Set the value that you want.
Table2.presence = "hidden";
else {
Table2.presence = "visible";
Thanks,

WAD - How to Minimize the Space Between Drop-Down Box and Table

Hi all,
I am trying to display a query in 'Table' with Web Application Designer (WAD). First, I have placed the 'Drop-down box' web-item and 'Table' web-item below it in the Web Template. There is an half-inch of space between the 'Drop-down box' and the 'Table' when it displays on the browser. It doesn't look good with this gap.
How can I eliminate or minimize this gap, PLEASE ?.
Thanks.

Hi Ingo & Hari,
 Thanks a lot for your help. Now it reduced the gap between the drop-down box and table to 3mm on browser.
But, there is no gap on web template. If we change some settings, we could still further reduce the gap while displaying it on browser.
Any new suggestions, PLEASE. Thanks again.

Drop down values for table in a view not getting populated dynamically

Hi Experts,
The problem which i am facing is as follows
In an existing web dynpro component , i already have a view and it consists of table which has 3 columns.All the three columns are non editable
MATERIAL     MAT_DESC     MAT_DEL_FLAG
ABC
EFG
HIJ
Now i need to add 2 more columns after the MAT_DEL_FLAG.These two PLANt and STORAGE LOCATION columns must have drop down values
The context refers to a standard Database ZTABLE to which these two fields are added.
MATERIAL     MAT_DESC     MAT_DEL_FLAG     PLANT     STORAGE_LOCATION
ABC
EFG
HIJ
The Plant column must have the drop down values based on Material .
If we select some value for Plant , then based on the value of plant the storage location drop down values must be populated.
So as per this logic , the drop down values for plant for each row must be different.
Please let me know how to achieve this.
This is a normal table and not an ALV table.
Also please let me know whether the drop down field must be drop down by key or drop down by index.
This is very urgent.
Thanks in advance
Sindhu

Refreshing things again for you -
1. As I have already pointed, create 2 context attributes for VALUESETS for both plant and St.loc.
2. Create dropdown by indexes for both of them, assign valusets to respective attributes using node information.
3. Go to the plant dropdown and create the action for it ONSELECT event - when you chagne the dropdown of plant then populate the respective storage loc.
4.Now, As you are selecting a row (leadselect) you have populated the plant and loc details....write the code for lead selection event of the table
You will get the lead selection index right using node interface (IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE)
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA_ITAB.
if sy-tabix eq lv_lead_index.
clear wa_valuset.
wa_valueset-key = 'X'.   "plant
wa_valueset-value = 'X'.
append wa_valueset to it_valueset1.
* popultae the storage location valuset based on the plant selected (bydefault it is 1 right in dropdown)
clear wa_valuset.
wa_valueset-key = 'XX'.   "storage loc
wa_valueset-value = 'XY'.
append wa_valueset to it_valueset2.
else.
* Fill the valusets for all other rows as different or as per your requirement.
endif.
wa_itab-valuset1 = lt_valueset1.
wa_itab-valuset2 = lt_valueset2.
modify itab from wa_itab transporting valuset1 valuset2.
clear wa_itab.
ENDLOOP.
lo_node->bind_table ( it_tab).
Now for that Row, if a plant value is changed, respective storgae loc has to be filled right...then in that ONSELECT of plnat drodpwon again you need to write a piece of code...using the same code with a little modifications.
Hope this is clear.
Check this article on the same - but here ALV is used...the concept is same use it for your table -
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0cbdde3-fe58-2c10-fcbc-8db18e693877?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
the above code you hvae pasted - i think it fills only for the 1st time....

Populate drop-down list in table row or repeating subform

I am currently working on an Adobe Interactive Form integrated with web dynpro ABAP. I would like to create a table or repeating subform with a number of drop-down lists populated from SAP.
I am using the Enumerated Drop-down list from the WebDynproNative menu. In my WDDOINIT method, I am populating the attributes using the set_attribute_value_set method. This is working fine when my dropdown is not in a table or repeating subform. The dropdown is populated and the selected value is returned to SAP when submitting the form. However, when I place the dropdown in a table row or a repeating subform, the dropdown is not populated.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi There,
I am facing problem in Dropdown lists in Subforms.
I want the region dropdown list values according to country (only for DE) dropdown list value. Both Dropdown lists are in a Subform.
For that, I have used this in EXIT event of Country Dropdown list:
if (this.rawValue == "DE Deutschland")
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Schleswig-Holstein","1");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hamburg","2");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Niedersachsen","3);
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bremen","4");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Nordrhein-Westfalen","5");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hessen","6");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Rheinland-Pfalz","7");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Baden-Württemberg","8");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bayern","9");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Saarland","10");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Berlin","11");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Brandenburg","12");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Mecklenburg-Vorpomme","13");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen","14");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen-Anhalt","15");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Thüringen","16");
else
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
It does only change first region dropdownlist value, not others because both dropdown lists are in a Subform.
Other problem is that it works only when All Country Dropdown lists are "DE". Means, first region dropdown list depends upon not only first country dropdown but also other dropdown.
My requirement is, If first country Dropdown is "DE", only first Region Dropdown list should be fill, not others. And so on.
Please provide solution that How can I change all dropdown lists of a Subform dynamically?
Waiting for reply.
Thank you
Chandler Bing

Drop down list in Table Control - Value disappeared after pressing ENTER

Dear Gurus,
I have a problem in one of my development where I used a table control in which one field is a drop down list.
I used VRM_SET_VALUES and VRM_GET_VALUES for populating the values from the programand not use any domain level value table for that field.
My problem is when I select one value from this list , and pressing enter , the value get disappeared. But if I use a domain for this field with value table then everything working properly.
My doubt is am I doing some miss coding or using the VRM_ function modules improperly ?
I am sharing some code with you
in PAI :
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_GET_VALUES'
    EXPORTING
      id            = 'ITAB-FIELD3'    "This is drop down list element on screen
    IMPORTING
      values        = values[]    " even it is not the expor parameter...it will work..
   EXCEPTIONS
     id_not_found   = 1
     OTHERS         = 2.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
No sy-subrc check required.
ENDIF.
IN PBO
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
       EXPORTING
            id     = 'IVBAP-ERNAM'
            values = values[].
Can you please help me.
Thanks .

To populate drop down in a table..

Hi,
In my Application i have a table populated from an EJB bean through a class[]....
Node:GroupNode
Attributes:user , name, location.
User attribute is the dropdown field in table..
below values are to be poupulated in the dropdown of the table from the string array.
String[] ca = { "user1","user2","user3"}
I am populating the table from my class...but i am not able to populate the dropdownbox...
Below is the code i used to populate the table:
UserDTO[] cat = wdContext.currentBeanElement.modelobject.Objuser();
for(int i-0;i<cat.length;i++)
IPrivateUserView.IGroupNodeElement e = wdContext.createGroupNodeElement();
e.setUser(cat.getUser());
e.setName(cat.getNmae());
wdContext.nodeGroupNode.addElement(e);
When I use Textview element in the table UI , the values are populating..
But I need the User column in DropDown...So when i change the UI element to Drop Down Box in User column in Table,the User Column in the table is alone empty..
How can I populate the values in dropdownbox with String[] ca = { "user1","user2","user3"} ...
And I am usin DropDownByIndex UI element...
Thanx in advance...

Hi
To populate a dropdown by key inside a table, you should do it this way:
//YOURNODENAME card: 1..n selection: 1..n , attribute within node,
// it could be card: 0..n y sel: 0..1, depend on your liking/mandatory
//condition.
IModifiableSimpleValueSet ValueSet= wdContext.getNodeInfo().
 getChild("YOURNODENAME").getAttribute("ATTRIBUTENAME").
 getModifiableSimpleType().getSVServices().
 getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
//Fill dropdownbykey with data
ValueSet.put("user1","user1");
ValueSet.put("user2","user2");
ValueSet.put("user3","user3");
ValueSet.put("user4","user4"); //... etc.. fill to fit your needs
//Fill table with independant copies, that means choosing one doesnt modify the others
for (int i = 0; i<5 ; i++)
wdContext.nodeYOURNODENAME().addElement(wdContext.nodeYOURNODENAME().createElement());

Drop Down list in table with data from database table

Hi,
I have created an interactive form in WD ABAP.
In Context tab I have created the nodes as follows:
ZSOHEADER node with cardinality 1..1
|-> MATERIAL node with cardinality 0..n. Under MATERIAL node there are 2 attrib. MAKTX and MATNR.
I am fetching data from MARA table into an internal table IT_MARA.
The node MATERIAL is bound to internal table IT_MARA.
I have created a table with property ' Body rows vary depending on data ' .
I have only one row in table. The first cell of the row is a drop down field.
I have bind the field to the node MATERIAL->DATA->MAKTX.
Now the issue is even though I have created only one row in my table, in preview it is creating as many rows in the table as the no.of records in the internal table.
I want only one row with the drop down list containing all values of the internal table.
Kindly suggest what to do.
Regards,
Vinod

Hi,
In the WebDynpro Context, in the main node create another node like A1 with cardinality 0..n and in this node create attributes TEXT and VALUE.
Now goto method and in that method using code wizard read the node A1.
And use the below code snippet sample in your program, i.e. code this under respective method of the webdynpro.
*Declare the TYPES
TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_TABLE,
TEXT TYPE SOMETYPE,
VALUE TYPE SOMETYPE,
END OF TY_UOM.
*Define Internal Table and work area.
DATA : IT_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_TABLE INITIAL SIZE 0,
WA_TABLE TYPE TY_TABLE.
SELECT TEXT VALUE FROM TABLENAME INTO TABLE IT_TABLE.
lr_node_info->bind_table( IT_TABLE ).
And in the Adobe Form Layout
Go to Menu of the Adobe LiveCycle Designer:
Tools>Options..>DataBinding
In that window you just check the Show Dynamic properties Check Box.
Now for the Drop Down go the binding tab in object palette and click on the list items and there specify the Internal Table and specify the text as the internal table text field and value as internal table value field.
OR
From the WebDynpro Native Library Palette use the Value Help Drop Down and in object pallette goto binding tab and provide the form interface binding. Before this in the WebDynpro goto Context and for the particular field under the properties provide the search help as dictionary search help and specify the name of the dictionary search help.
OR
We have another method of setting the Text and Value to the DDL directly in the WebDynpro by coding in the methods, I dont have much knowledge on this.

Automatic LOV refresh Dept drop down on EMP table

I have a editable DEPT table and editable EMP table on the same page. Each table have their own corresponding insert and delete buttons. There is a common commit and rollback button for the both tables.
In my EMP VO I have a view accessor linked to the DEPT VO . The dept column in the EMP table on the page has a drop down list. I'm trying to get the LOV drop down to refresh on the EMP table after an insert/delete and subsequent commit on the DEPT table. Has any body had the same requirement ? I tried the partial triggers between the commit button and the LOV on the EMP table and no luck ! :-(
thanks in advance

Just discovered that the my LOV was pointing to the wrong VO. I had 2 VO for the DEPT table. Re-pointed the LOV to the same VO as the DEPT on the corresponding page. it's all solved !

Drop down list in table

Hi ,
I have a table, which has two columns both are drop down list. So when the user inserts a new row and when he selects dropdown1 then dropdown2 has to be populated on the value of dropdown1.
Please let me know how can this be acheived in Java Webdynpro.
Regards,
Sharath

Let "Rows" be the data source node of the table. Add two non-singleton child nodes "Items1" and "Items2" for storing the dropdown list items.
Define an action "List1Selected" and add a parameter "row" of type IRowsElement.
Define a parameter mapping that maps the predefined event parameter "nodeElement" to the action parameter "row".
Assign action "List1Selected" to the "onSelect" event of list1.
In the action handler you have then the row where the entry from list1 has been selected:
void onActionList1Selected(IRowsElement row, ...)
IItems1Element selection = row.nodeItems1().currentItems1Element();
/* Now populate row.nodeItems2() depending on the selection... */

Drop-down menu in table cells - how to expand over the column width?

Hello!
A client is migrating their 2,400 forms from old JetForms to PDF (LiveCycle Designer) and would like to keep the same functionalities he's used to in the old platform. However, some of the old tool features do not seem to be present in LiveCycle.
Suppose a drop-down menu in a table cell, containing items which lengths are bigger than the table column. In JetForm, when you open the drop-down it spans over the columns to show all its contents, not cutting the drop-down list contents.
I tried this in LiveCycle, but the drop-down gets cut and its contents are limited to the table column (hence the drop-down menu) width.
Is there a way to work around this limitation, even if I have to use some scripting?
Thank you for any ideas!
Marcos

Hi again, Niall!
Thank you again for your great examples!
The dynamic width drop-down will cover some of the client's expectations.
However, they would like it to work even when the drop-down is within a table cell with a width smaller than the width they want the drop-down to show when the mouse enters the field.
I'm afraid you will say this is not possible... Or at least not without a lot of coding, using subforms or the like.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much!
Marcos

Drop down menus/layout tables

Hi,
I'm trying to redesign a church website that I built last
year. I used Frontpage mostly using layers. I made the page for 800
resolution screens, so the content sits to the left of the page
with blank spots to the right using higher resolutions.
I want to center the page with colored margins. I know I can
use layout tables to do that, but I havent figured out how to make
drop down menus without using layers. I've gotten this far
http://www.216west3rd.org/GraySite/index.htm
and it is exactly what I want it to look like, just cant figure out
the dropdown menu thing.
I have Dreamweaver 8 and would upgrade to Dreamweaver CS3 if
it could do that task.
www.statesman.com (our local Austin newspaper) is an example
of what I want to do. Content centered with drop down or cascading
menus.
I'm not a codewriter, I only use design modes. Can anyone
help me with this?
Thanks in advance,
