The GRAPH_BUTTON_MENUE Function Module 

The GRAPH_BUTTON_MENUE function module executes a call to the SAP Pushbutton Graphics program. Unlike the GRAPH_BUTTON_MATRIX function module, this module allows you to program pushbutton displays with menues. The user who clicks on a button gets a menu of options rather than a static display.

Parameters for GRAPH_BUTTON_MENUE include all those for GRAPH_BUTTON_MATRIX, as well as the MTITL, MCOLN, MROWN, and MENU parameters. (See the following table.)

For a detailed description of parameters and exceptions, see the R/3 system documentation (Tools ® ABAP Workbench, Function library button, or transaction code SE37).

An ABAP program that calls this function module must be sure to use the STAT parameter. At least one of the calls to a graphics function module (not necessarily the one to GRAPH_BUTTON_MENUE) must be made with a Wait-for-input STAT value.

After the pushbutton pad is displayed, the online user can either close the window or click on a graph item (a pushbutton, or, if present, application-defined menu items or function keys). If the user clicks on an button, the SAP Pushbutton Graphics displays the requested menu. If the user then selects a menu entry, SAP Pushbutton Graphics places a message reporting user input on the message queue. The waiting function module receives this message and returns to the ABAP program with the row and column of the menu entry. (See the descriptions of the MENU, MROWN, and MCOLN parameters for more information.)

SAP Pushbutton Graphics responds in a similar manner for application-defined menu items or function keys. (The ABAP program defines these by calling GRAPH_ACTION.) If the user clicks on one of these items, SAP Pushbutton Graphics places a message reporting this on the message queue. The waiting function module receives the message and returns to the ABAP program with information identifying the selected item in the CUA_ID parameter field.
