CONSTRUCTOR (SAP Library

CONSTRUCTOR

Use

The constructor creates, initializes, and positions the control.

Note

The constructor method is called automatically when you instantiate the class (create object statement). You generally pass the parameters of the method in the create object statement.

Parameter	Description	Possible values
parent	Parent of the instance, that is, the container in which the control is to be displayed
lifetime	Lifetime management parameter specifying the lifetime of the control	cntl_lifetime_imode: The control remains alive for the lifetime of the internal session (that is, until a statement such as leave program or leave to transaction) cntl_lifetime_dynpro: The control remains alive for the lifetime of the screen (that is, while it remains in the screen stack). It is not destroyed, for example, by a call screen or call transaction statement.
max_number_chars	Sets the maximum number of characters that can be entered in the control
style	Controls the appearance and behavior of the control	Constants from the class CL_GUI_CONTROL that begin with WS_* You can combine styles by adding the constants together. The default value sets a suitable combination of style constants internally.
filedrop_mode	Parameter controlling drag and drop behavior	dropfile_event_off Only a file that replaces the full existing text can be used (default value). dropfile_event_single Only one file can be used. The file is not included in the editor. The file drop event is triggered instead. You can specify the path of the dropped file using the method GET_PATH_OF_DROPPED_FILES. dropfile_event_multiple You can use more than one file. The file is not included in the editor. The file drop event is triggered instead. You can specify a list of the paths of the dropped files using the method GET_PATH_OF_DROPPED_FILES.
wordwrap_mode	Line break behavior	wordwrap_off No line break wordwrap_at_windowborder Line break at the edge of the window (default value) wordwrap_at_fixed_position Line break at a fixed position
wordwrap_position	If wordwrap_mode = textedit->wordwrap_at_fixed_position: Position for the automatic line break in a line	Default value: -1
wordwrap_to_linebreak_mode	Converts soft line breaks to hard ones when you save in the SAP System	false Soft line breaks are ignored when you save true Soft line breaks are converted to hard breaks when you save

Note

The advantage of using containers is that you can set certain essential display attributes (position on the screen, behavior when the window is resized, and so on) when you create them. If you do not use a container, you must set all of the attributes by hand, using the method SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY.
