Providing ALV Standard Functions Using Application-Specific UI Elements

Use

If you activate an ALV standard function then this is provided to the user using a specific UI element and/or using an entry in the settings dialog box. If you want to use an ALV standard function and want to visualize this for the user in a different way, then you can do this by defining a function of your own and assigning it using the ALV standard function.

To assign a standard ALV function to a self-defined function, you use the methods of class CL_SALV_WD_FUNCTION.

In this case you must assign the function but hide the related interface elements.

You can replace the following UI elements for standard ALV functions in this way:

• Send dropdown list box and individual entries in the dropdown list box

• Display As dropdown list box and individual entries in the dropdown list box

• Insert Row, Append Row, and Delete Row pushbuttons

• Check pushbutton

• Undo pushbutton

• Excel and Print Version pushbuttons

• Filter pushbutton and the Define Filter and Delete Filter functions

• Settings pushbutton and the Open Settings Dialog Box and Close Settings Dialog Box functions

• Views dropdown list box
