Invisible Table Columns

Hi,
first, I am a total beginner in Web Dynpro and ABAP.
In a view I create a context node, a ui table element and an internal table which is bound to the context node dynamically. I took an example to do this from a developers website. Now, I want to make some of the columns in the ui invisible. How to do this? Do I have to loop through the internal table? It would be great if you can support me with some code. Thx.

I think Pradeep already referred to my post On the topic of visibility - which is your favourite constant? in which Thomas Jung suggested:
>
>cl_wd_uielement=>e_visible-none
>cl_wd_uielement=>e_visible-blank
>cl_wd_uielement=>e_visible-visible
the good thing about these - as he explains in his reasoning Re: On the topic of visibility - which is your favourite constant?
>
>All UI elements have generated classes. For instance CL_WD_BUTTON for the Button UI element. In these generated classes you have attributes for all UI element properties and enumerated constants for all property values. I use CL_WD_UIELEMENT for visibility becuase that is the abstract UI Element class and Visibility is so common. However if doing anything more specific I use the enumerators of CL_WD_<UI ELEMENT>.
I think this makes sense, it gives a clear direction about which constant to use, and moreover, makes it easy to find it when you're not sure where to find one.

How to invisible perticular row of a table column?

Hi All,
I want to set invisible or blank in perticular row of table column.
I have a table, contains 2 row in that , one of the column contains button. If i clik on this button(ex: 1st row button ) it add new row with different data, it contains button also in that column, but i want to invisible that button . I tried like this
I create one attribute of type WDUI_VISIBILITY. and bind visible property of that column. and code in button action is..
     DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
   DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->Element_context.
   DATA lv_visible TYPE wd_this->Element_context-visible.
get element via lead selection
   lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).
get single attribute
   lo_el_context->set_attribute(
     EXPORTING
       name = `VISIBLE`
       value = wdyn_ui_visibility_none ).
But, All buttons are invisible here. i.e., in first 2 rows buttons also invisible. But i want to invisible 3 row button only. How to do this? It is possible?
Thanks,
Kris.

Hi Sarbjeet,
button1 - name1-marks.
button2-sname1-marks.
on click of button1 - output is ---name2-marks, if i click again on button getting name3-marks.
if i click on button2 --- sname4-marks, but required output is --- sname2-marks.
if i click on button1 again o/p is -- name5-marks, but req is name4-marks.
code :

Dynamic table columns in web dynpro abap

Hi,
In my current project I have got a requirement whose solution I am not able to figure out.
My requirement is this:
I will have a table containig budget owners name(since its compensation management in HR).There will be a table popin inside this table on the click of the personal number of the budget owner. Now the table popin will have another table with all employees name under that particular budget owner.
The problem is that the table inside the popin will not be having fixed columns.Actually the columns will be coming from a standard java web dynpro application (say in the form of an internal table).
My requirement is this how can this be handled?Can we include all the possible columns in the node(which i bind to the child table) and make them visible/invisible during runtime? or create a dynamic node and assign it to the table(but in this case a node needs to be bound to the table during design time,what to bind?) ?
Can u please help along with code snippets.
Thanks and Regards,
Saikat.

Thnx for the input.
I am abke to make the table columns inside the popin visible/invisible.
I have a tabstrip.Indise one of the tabs is my main table and inside one of the columns is the popin.Inside that a transparent container and finally the table inside that.
This is the code that worked for me.
METHOD wddomodifyview .
DATA lr_root_container TYPE REF TO cl_wd_uielement_container.
DATA lr_table_popin TYPE REF TO cl_wd_table_popin.
DATA lr_transparent_container TYPE REF TO cl_wd_transparent_container.

data lr_table2 type ref to cl_wd_table.
DATA lr_table2_column TYPE REF TO cl_wd_table_column.
IF first_time = abap_false.
    lr_root_container ?= view->get_element( 'ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER' ).
    lr_tabstrip ?= lr_root_container->get_child( id = 'TABSTRIP1' ).        "GETTING THE TABSTRIP
    lr_tab      ?= lr_tabstrip->get_tab( id = 'TAB1' ).        "GETTING THE TAB INSIDE TABSTRIP
    lr_table    ?= lr_tab->GET_CONTENT( ).      "GETTING THE CONTENT(TABLE IN THIS CASE) INSIDE TABSTRIP
    lr_table_column ?= lr_table->get_grouped_column( id = 'TABLE_MAIN_PERNR' ).   "GETTING THE COLUMN INSIDE THE TABLE
    "Table popin
    lr_table_popin ?= lr_table_column->GET_POPIN( ).   "GETTING THE POPIN INSIDE THE TABLE
    lr_tc ?= lr_table_popin->GET_CONTENT( ).   "GETTING THE CONTENT(TRANSPARENT CONTAINER IN THIS CASE)INSIDE THE TABLE
    lr_table2 ?= lr_tc->get_child( id = 'TABLE_EMPLOYEE' ).        "GETTING THE EMPLOYEE TABLE INSIDE THE TRANSPARENT CONTAINER
    lr_table2_column ?= lr_table2->get_grouped_column( id = 'TABLE_EMPLOYEE_PERNR' ).   "GETTING THE COLUMN INSIDE THE TABLE
    lr_table2_column->SET_VISIBLE( '02' ). "SETTING VISIBILITY FOR THE COLUMN
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
But I'm still considering the dynamic node concept.Lets see if this works out or not.If not then I'll have to go for the dynamic node thing.

Disable table column

Hi all,
i have a table in my WD View.
i want to disable certain columns of the table on runtime.
how do i do that.
please replly soon.
Thanks & Regards,
Ritwik.

Hi Ritwik,
Each table colums has a 'Cell editor' which identifies the type of the column. i.e. text view or input field or cheeck box ect.
If you want to enable/disable a table column, then in the table column, click on its cell editor and go to its propertys tab.Here we have
Properties (TextView)
ID     TBL_FLIGHTS_AIRLINEID_EDITOR
design     standard
enabled     1
hAlign     auto
layout     native
semanticColor     standard
text     SEARCH_VIEW.FLIGHT_LIST.AIRLINEID
textDirection     inherit
tooltip
visible     Visible
wrapping     0
These properties can be set statically or can also be maintained dynamically by binding these properties to a context attribute and change the value at based on the conditions.
To do this create a context node say 'UI_PROPERTIES', Create an attribute in it say 'ENABLED' of tye wdy_boolean (X, ' ').
Go to the table column cell editor click on the button against the enabled button, from the F4, navigate to the context node 'UI_PROPERTIES' --> 'ENABLED' Attribute. Select it and OK.
A green icon is displayed on the button indicating that binding is maintained.
Now if you want to enable/disable the table column then do a set_attribute of 'ENABLED' field as X, Space for enabled, disabled respectively.
If you want to make few columns invisible at runtime then this can be achieved as mentioned above. Create another attribute say VISIBILITY type WDUI_VISIBILITY.
Bind this attribute to the visibility property of the TABLE COLUMN. (Go to properties tab of Table Column).
Set 01, 02 for Invisible, Visible respectively.
Hope this helps.

Sravan Varagani

Unable to capture the adf table column sort icons using open script tool

Hi All,
I am new to OATS and I am trying to create script for testing ADF application using open script tool. I face issues in recording two events.
1. I am unable to record the event of clicking adf table column sort icons that exist on the column header. I tried to use the capture tool, but that couldn't help me.

'sort' icon in the header of table column

Hi everybody,
I am using table UI element in WD ABAP. Table columns can be sorted and the method fro event 'onSort' is defined.
On each table column header a tool tip with icons ▲▼ appears when the cursor is moved over the right side of the column header.
Is it possible to make this icon appear on the right of each column header permanently?
Thank you for your help,
Helen

Hi Jörg,
We are using IE6 or IE7. And nothing appears. ONSort action exists and defined.
May be I will create internal message for ABAP WD.
Kind regards,
Helen

Which option to use to search text in multiple table columns

Hi, I have a case where I have 4 db tables. On the UI there is an option to search a keyword from some columns of these 4 tables.
Table1 = summary, description are the columns user can search on
Table2 = project_name is the column user can search on
Table3 = need_by_date is the column user can search on
Table4 = owner is the column user can search on
On the UI, user can enter a keyword and check the columns they want to search on. Out of the above, they can check one column, or more, or all.
My question is what is the best option to use oracle text search in this case.
Option 1 = I create a procedure to select these columns and then create an index on this procedure. In this case, is there a way to specify
which columns to search on?
Option 2= Create 4 separate indexes on these table/columns and then query the columns which user has selected to search on.
Any other better idea?

Hi,
multicolumn only works on columns in the same table.
If you can also query just on one field, then an index per field will be preferable. If you query always on all the fields then the one index approach is good. For this last the options are:
1. Use User_datastore, create a procedure and a dummy column
2. Create a materialized view for the query and build an index on this materialized view
3. Store the fields as an xml in the main table and index the xml column.
The maintanance of options 1 and 3 are bigger, because you need triggers to be aware of an update. Option 2 and 3 will need more storage.

Urgent Help Required for Check Box in Table Column

Hi all,
Could any body help me to solve my problem?
First of all I have created a table whose one column is check box. The column of the tables are Name,Phone,ID,Address and a checkBox columns.In one view
the table will be found with data. I want to click on some of the rows(suppose there are 5 rows, but based on some condition I have selected the check box of 3 rows).
Next there will be a button(Supose SEND Button).
After selecting the check box I want to press that button and then a new window will come which will show two tables. one for selected rows(with the same columns name except check box) and another for Unchecked rows with the same column name(Name,Phone,ID,Address).
Could any body help me by sending the details and code?
Thanks and Regards.
Sudip

Hi Sudip,
1) create custom controller and appropriate context structure there (dataNode(Name,Phone,ID,Address,Check))
2) create view StartView. Map data node from custom controller to node in view. Create table and bind context node attributes to appropriate table columns.
3) create view ResultView. Map data node from custom controller to node in view. Create 2 nodes (CheckedData, UncheckedData) with supply methods. Create filtering implementation in supply methods (add checked and unchecked node elements to appropriate nodes).
4) create new window with resultView as default view
4) in startView in button action handler put something like
     IWDWindowInfo _windowInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("Popup");
     IWDWindowManager manager = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager();
     IWDWindow _window = manager.createWindow(_windowInfo, true);
     _window.open();
So, just tried localy and it works.
Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

Table Column - Different UI elements in a column

Hi,
I have the following requirement. I need to create a table shown below.
            COLUMN1              COLUMN2
ROW1      cell11                    cell21
ROW2      cell12                    cell22
I need cell11 and cell22 to be textviews and cell12 and cell21 to be inputfields. In other words, I need different cells in a table column to be of different types.
How do I do this.
Thank

Hi,
An easier way to switch between input field and text view is to just bind the readOnly property. Why actually switch between InputField and TextView.
Create an attribute 'EDITABLE' type Boolean in the node that is bound to the table.
1.Create all the cell editors as input field.
2.Bind the readOnly poperty with the attribuite 'EDITABLE'
3.Now pass abap_true to make it a text view and abap_false to make in input enabled.
However it is possible to switch between different UI elements using Cell Variant .

New table/column in publication breaks replication

Hi,
SQL 2008R2
I added a control table to a database that is being replicated to a different server. The tabled called [__Updated] has one column called [DateUpdated] of type datetime2. I manually created the table in the subscriber, added the new table/column

Problem with LinkToURL in a table column

Hi,
let's say we have a LinkToURL element with a text and an image. Then a click on the text OR a click on the image navigates to the given URL.
This behaviour changes if you put the LinkToURL element in a table column. In that case the link is executed only if you click on the text, nothing happens if you click on the image (I assume this is a bug, of have I missed a detail?). If you have a LinkToURL element without a text and with an image only, this becomes a problem.
One column of my table contains a single image, and a click on that image shall open a link. Is there another way to do this except using a LinkToURL element?
Thanks,
Karsten

Hi Valery,
yes, this hint is exactly what I needed. I just changed the LinkToURL to a LinkToAction, and this can be activated by clicking the text OR the image.
The necessary coding in the action handler would then look like this:
WDWindow wnd = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager()
.createExternalWindow("http://www.sap.com",
"SAP Global", false);
wnd.open();
Thank you very much,
Karsten

Jdev Version (11.1.1.6.0)
I have requirement to open a dynamic URL from table column. Any time I click on link, it should generate dynamic URL based on column attribute and open in popup or browser. Can someone pls suggest how to achieve this.
Thanks
Ank

1)If you have any parameters that needs to be passed to build that dynamicURL, just set a propertyListener on the column attribute and get the value.
2)Then on the af:commandLink action, build your dynamicURL with the required parameters.
3) If you URL is all together a different application which doesn't share your transaction, you can open it as below
In the below code, urlWithParams will be your dynamicURL.
ExtendedRenderKitService erks =
Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
StringBuilder sbURL = new StringBuilder();
sbURL.append("window.open(\"" + urlWithParams + "\");");
erks.addScript(facesContext, sbURL.toString());
You can also try the above response by user 948181.
Hope it helps.

Move Table Column with AppleScript in Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word has a flaw (in my opinion) with tables in that it aligns the left and right text with the margins rather than aligning the table columns with the margins. This results in sloppy tables, because the left and right borderlines lie outside the margins.
I would like to fix the word tables by
calculating the left cell padding and right cell padding in points and setting them to variables {left_pad,right_pad} respectively
move left column by left_pad to the right
move right column by right_pad to the left
The script I was working on does not work, but I will post it to show my thought process as I hone in on my solution.
tell application "Microsoft Word"
    --595 points is width of A4 paper
    -- Set page margin in points to variables
    set {l_margin, r_margin, t_margin, b_margin} to {(get left margin of page setup of active document), get (right margin of page setup of active document), get (top margin of page setup of active document), get (bottom margin of page setup of active document)}
    get {l_margin, r_margin, t_margin, b_margin}
    -- Set specific Paragraph margins
    -- NOTE: If you select a table thinking you wish to drag just the left margin to the right, or the right margin to the left, this code does not accomplish this because each cell has its own paragraph formatting. This code will set the margin for every single cell, because each cell has its own margins! (separate from padding).
    set para_sel to paragraph format of selection
    set paragraph format left indent of para_sel to (centimeters to points centimeters 0.5)
    -- Aligning left and right columns of table with the margins
    -- NOTE: There is a command to set left row indent, but not right row indent (very stupid of Microsoft)
end tell

I have worked up something that seems to work (although I cannot promise it is the best way). Hope it helps anyone else who has this need.
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
set findRange to find object of selection
clear formatting findRange -- clear any previous formatting used in a find operation
set forward of findRange to true -- find forward
set style of findRange to "List Bullet" -- the style to look for
tell findRange
set gotIt to execute find find text "" -- do the search w/o matching any text
end tell
if gotIt is true then -- if a match was found
copy object selection -- copy it to the clipboard
set mySelection to (the clipboard) -- then put clipboard into a variable
set myOffset to ¬
(get selection information selection information type ¬
(horizontal position relative to page)) -- now put selection info into a variable
display dialog mySelection & return & (myOffset as text) -- then display it
end if
end tell
