Coloring Cells 

Purpose

You can change the color of cells in the grid control to highlight data in the list. Although you can also use this process to color entire rows, this is much more time-consuming than the procedure described in Coloring Rows.

1. Define the layout structure of type LVC_S_LAYO .
2. Add a color table of type LVC_T_SCOL to your output table, as shown in the example below:

DATA: BEGIN OF GT_OUTTAB OCCURS 0.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE <DDIC-Struktur>.

DATA:   CT TYPE LVC_T_SCOL. "Table for colors

DATA: END OF GT_OUTTAB.

3. Select your data and copy it into the output table.
4. Read one row of the output table at a time in the loop. One row of the color table has three fields. If field NOKEYCOL is set, you can change the color of key fields. Assign values to the remaining fields as follows:

• If you want to color the entire row, assign the corresponding values to the fields of structure COLOR . Field fname does not receive a value in this case.
• If you want to color specific columns of the row only, you must append one row for each column to the color table. Assign the name of the desired column to field fname , and the corresponding values to the fields of structure COLOR .

5. Assign the name of the internal table to field CTAB_FNAME of the layout structure (in our case 'CT', see step 2).
6. Pass the layout structure and the output table with method set_table_for_first_display.
