Table View Property: Selection (SAP-Bibliothek - SAP Automation RFC and BAPI Interfaces (BC-FES-AIT))

Table View Property: Selection

Purpose

The Selection property returns or sets the current selection.

Description

The current selection is an object representing either a single cell or a range of cells. The SAP Table View control allows only one selected range. In either case, the selected object has properties and methods of its own:

Property	Type	Description
<default property>	String	Sets or returns the selection.
UpperBound	Long	Set or returns the uppermost selected row
LowerBound	Long	Set or returns the lowermost selected row
LeftBound	Long	Set or returns the leftmost selected column
RightBound	Long	Set or returns the rightmost selected column

Use the <default property> for the selected object to determine what part of the table was selected. The default property returns a string value that uses a special notation to specify the selection:

Single cells: The column is identified by a character and the row by a number. A1 would be the first row in the first column. B5 would be the fifth row in the second column.

Ranges: Codes for the left topmost and the right bottom-most cells are separated by a colon. A range consisting of all cells starting from the second row in the second column to the fifth row in the fourth column would be set or returned by a range string of ‘B2:D5’.

The following method is also available with the selected object:

Method	Parameter	Description
Set	Long Lower Long Left Long Upper Long Right	Sets the current selection.

When you want to set all selection boundaries at once, the Set method is more efficient than making four calls to the boundary properties.
