Comment for a particular cell in the report using WAD

Can some one help me how to write the comment for a particular cell using WAD which will be published on to the portal

Hi Pavan,
In order to modify particular cells in WAD you would need to use the table interface. Refer to this document:

Method for colouring particular cell

Hello friends,
I displayed the output in grid using the class "CL_GUI_ALV_GRID".
Now i need to colour the particular cell with different colours based on the condition.What is the method used for that. If possible give an example code.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Siva
All details can be found in the excellent tutorial
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e8a1d690-0201-0010-b7ad-d9719a415907">An Easy Reference For ALV Grid Control</a>
-> see pages 28+
Briefly, here is the crucial coding part:
*--- Internal table holding list data
DATA BEGIN OF gt_list OCCURS 0 .
INCLUDE STRUCTURE SFLIGHT .
DATA rowcolor(4) TYPE c .
DATA cellcolors TYPE lvc_t_scol .
DATA END OF gt_list .
DATA ls_cellcolor TYPE lvc_s_scol .
READ TABLE gt_list INDEX 5 .
ls_cellcolor-fname = 'SEATSOCC' .
ls_cellcolor-color-col = '7' .
ls_cellcolor-color-int = '1' .
APPEND ls_cellcolor TO gt_list-cellcolors .
MODIFY gt_list INDEX 5 .

Tooltip for datagrid's cells

I know how to create a tooltip for datagrid and/or its
columns. Is it possible to create a tooltip (or something similar)
for each cell? So whenever the mouse is over a certain cell, a tip
would be shown for that cell that depends on the value of the cell.
Similar functionality can often be seen in web-based database apps:
an Ajax query gets related data from a database on mouseOver.
My need and idea is to
- show a simple text list as a tooltip
- the text would be fetched from a database via a web service
- the fetch would be based on datagrid's (hidden) rowid and
each column's (hidden) column id (which are real database columns)
- the database structure is an n:m relation i.e. one
rowid+colid can refer to several items that are then used in the
tooltip
Use case: A number is displayed in the datagrid. The need is
to display 0-n references related to that specific figure (e.g.
book names, notes etc) in the tooltip. Next cell's tooltip would be
showing different references.
Anybody any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Hi,
Did you try creating a custom itemRenderer and handling the
mouse events for that item renderer component. There is also a
property called dataTipFunction, please check that too.
Hope this helps.

Ask for suggestion: merge cell or multiple jtable

I would like to have a jtable like this:
+----------+------+------+------+-----+
| 1.Item no|2.Desc|3.Type|4.Size|5.Qty|
+----------+------+------+------+-----+
|    001   | ... | A1 | 3   | 5 |
|          |      |------|------|-----|
|          |      | A2 | 2   | 6 |
+----------+------+------+------+-----+
|    002   | ... | A1 | 4   | 4 |
|          |      |------|------|-----|
|          |      | A3 | 2   | 6 |
+----------+------+------+------+-----+For each item, it would have say, 2 types (2 rows beginning from the third column).
The question is, I'm now considering whether 1)i should use multiple jtables, one from column 1 -2 and the other from column 3 to 5. OR 2)merge cells
In fact, i just have thought of this 2 methods and not yet implemented them yet. Any suggestion?
Many thanks,
Pippen

Thanks thahn2 but I 've tried out the examples before and found them not so useful for me. And some of them even have problems running on jdk1.4.
Any suggestion on either choice will be welcomed. (or even other suggestions)

Tooltip for single ALV cell

Hi,
is it possible to add a tooltip (text appearing when mouse is moved over) to a single cell in an ALV grid created with FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'?
Please restrict your answers to the question, thank you.
Regards,
Clemens

Hi,
Tool tips are possible only at Column heading level unless you declare your column as a exception column / ICON / SYMBOL columns.

Ravi

How to apply hyper link for a particular cell in the column?

Year
2001
2002
2003
2004
I wanna apply Hyper link for 2001 only! How to achieve this?
Can we apply no. of hyper links for a column?

You have to create a conditional variable.
For eg. create a variable with hyperlink in the syntax for Year.
Now if else logic, so if YEAR=2001, return hyperlink else YEAR object.
Hope you understood.
Thanks

Set focus on particular cell in a JTable when using TableModel.

I want to implement validation in my table cells. I the value does not satisfy certain condition then the focus should remain on the same cell and the user should be asked to enter valid value.
I am using TableModel and i have tried implementing validation in the setValueAt() method some thing like this.
setValueAt method of my table model.
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col){
if(datalist.size()>row){
OutboundFieldMappingObj obj=(OutboundFieldMappingObj)datalist.get(row);
String str=null;
switch (col){
case 0:
str=Validator.getValidNumber((String)value,1,999999999L);
obj.setFiledName(str);
break;
case 1:
str=Validator.getValidString((String)value,128,false);
obj.setFiledClass(str);
break;
case 2:
obj.setSource((String)value);
break;
fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
But this doesn't solve the issue. In this case after entering the value when i click on some other cell then it shows me a message stating that the value is invalid but it doesn't takes the focus back to same cell. The focus is shifted to the cell where i have clicked.
Please help me out in resolving the issue.
I have added the code of my validator class at the bottom if any one needs to have a look at it.
Thanks
Validator class
public class Validator {
public Validator() {
public static String getValidString(String val, int max, boolean upper) {
if (val == null || val.equals("")) {
showErrorMsg("The cell can not be left blank");
return " ";
if (val.length() > max) {
val = val.substring(0, max);
showErrorMsg("String value to long. Truncated to " + max +" characters.");
if (upper) {
val = val.toUpperCase();
return val;
public static String getValidNullableString(String val, int max, boolean upper) {
if (val == null) {
return null;
if (val.length() > max) {
val = val.substring(0, max);
showErrorMsg("String value to long. Truncated to " + max +" characters.");
if (upper) {
val = val.toUpperCase();
return val;
public static String getValidNumber(String number, int min, long max) {
try {
long num = Long.parseLong(number);
if (num < min) {
showErrorMsg("Number less than mininum value of " + min + ".");
return "" + min;
if (num > max) {
showErrorMsg("Number greater than maximum value of " + max +".");
return "" + max;
return number;
} catch (Exception x) {
showErrorMsg("Invalid Entry. Number Expected.");
return "0";
// return "";
public static boolean getValidNumber(String number) {
try {
Integer.parseInt(number);
return true;
} catch (Exception x) {
showErrorMsg("Invalid Entry. Number Expected.");
return false;
// return "";
public static void showErrorMsg(String message) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new java.awt.Frame(), message,
"Invalid Value!",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
public static boolean validString(String str) {
if (str != null && str.length() > 0) {
return true;
return false;
}

You need to create a custom editor. Something like this:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=642364
If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.

Cell tooltip for ALV

Hello experts,
I am new to ALV development. I have created an ALV grid report which displays data fetching from DDIC tables.
I want to display tooltip for each individual cell of the ALV, I know about using field category property SELTEXT_M but its used for entire column tooltip. My requirement is to display tooltip for individual cell in the grid.
Please provide me simple explanation to use tooltip for cell in ALV.
Simple example code would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Viral Patel

Hi,
If you are using OOPS ALV then, there is a field available in the field catalogue : TOOLTIP which you can use to display the tooltip for the column header.
try this:
wa_fcat-TOOLTIP = '-tooltip--'.
I hope it helps you.
Thanks & Regards,
Radhika

How do I change the colour of a selected cell in a jTable?

I have a Jtable that displays URL names in one column. There are several problems I'm having. The effect I'm trying to achieve is this:
When the user runs the mouse over the URL name the cursor should change into a hand (similar to what happens in an HTML hyperlink). I'm aware that the Cursor class can set the cursor graphic so i figure that i need a listener of some sort on each cell (so the cursor can change from an arrow to a hand) and also one to indicate when the cursor is not on a cell (so that it can change from a hand back into an arrow). Is this the right track?
Also, I've looked at the DefaultTableCellRenderer class (which, as i understand it, is responsible for how each cell in the jtable is displayed) for a method that will allow me to set the background of a selected cell (or row or column). I require this because each time i select a cell (or row) it becomes highlighted in blue. I would rather it just remained white and changed the cursor to a hand. I know there exists a method for setting the background for an unselected cell but none for a selected cell. Again, I'm not sure if I'm going down the right track with this approach.
Lastly, if the cell has been selected (by a mouse click) the font of the writing in the cell (i.e. The name of the URL) should change. This shouldn't be too much of a problem I think.
I do not expect anyone to provide code to do all of this but some general pointers would be extremely helpful as I do not know if I'm thinking on the right track for any of this. Having some (limited) experience with Swing I doubt there is a simple way to do this but I can only hope!
Thanks.

Help with editing a cell in a JTable. DESPERATE

Hi! Is there someone out there that could help with some source code for editing a cell in my JTable when I run it as an applet??
It works fine when I run it as an application.
I manage to select the row and write a number in it, but I can't get out of the cell (it seems that the program stops??). I want to enter an integer in a cell and when I click enter or with the mouse in an other cell the value that I enter should update some other cell( multiply the entered value with some fixed number and update a cell in a second coloumn)
I am really desperate now..... I have thought about using a MouseListener....
I am using a tablemodel that is from AbstractTableModel.

Are you using some cell editors?
While converting inside them, you might be getting some exceptions (like parseexception)which is stopping you from proceeding further.
Are you using your own tablemodel with custom datatypes?
Hope this helps,
Ramkumar

How to insert checkbox at a particular cell in jtable

hello,
I am a user of jdeveloper using jclient/swing .
question:
i am using jtable. i want that whenever i click on a specified cell then text at that particular cell get clear and a checkbox inserted in that cell . whenever i click on that checkbox i.e check the checkbox,
again a text is inserted in that cell.
thank you

Did you ever get this to work? If I bind a JCheckbox to my attribute and add the checkbox to my JClient panel, the attribute value is properly bound to the checkbox with everything working correctly. Adding the checkbox as the TableCellEditor for the column doesn't work.
Also, the link to using a Combobox as a table cell editor works, but the link doesn't tell where to donwload the sample code from. Doesn't anyone know the link?
