Display in the SAP GUI for HTML
Purpose
The SAP GUI for HTML allows you to display SAP transactions in a Web browser. Applications using the class
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID for displaying table data are therefore automatically visible in the Web through this SAP GUI.Implementation Considerations
In the SAP GUI for HTML, the ALV Grid Control is displayed differently than in the SAP GUI for Windows. The SAP GUI for HTML supports fewer colors, for example. Also, user interaction for several processes is restricted or has been implemented differently.
Features
In most cases, the methods, events, and attributes of the class
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID also work in the SAP GUI for HTML. Check the overview of methods and events to see if they work in the SAP GUI for HTML before using them.It is possible to use accessibility keys in the SAP GUI for HTML.
The user is required to select and deselect rows, columns or cells individually. (This also depends on the
selection mode).In the editable ALV Grid Control, you can insert, append, copy, or delete lines.
Restrictions
Several functions are available on a restricted basis only:
Restrictions in the SAP GUI for HTML
|
Restriction |
|
Drag and drop is not supported. |
|
When you scroll the contents of the grid in the vertical direction, the column headers scroll at the same time. You cannot set fixed columns – when you scroll the columns of the grid horizontally, all the columns move. |
|
Columns are never narrower than their contents. For example, if the column contained 'AIRPORT', the column would always display the complete word 'AIRPORT'. You cannot change the column width interactively. |
|
There are two modes for scrolling. One mode allows you to scroll when there are fewer than a predefined number of lines (default: 100 lines per page). If there are more than the predefined number of lines, there is a navigation bar that allows you to move from page to page. |
|
The Find function is not available – that is, you cannot search for a word in the grid. |
|
The shift or control keys are not available for multiple line selection. If multiple line selection is activated, and you select several lines consecutively, the previously selected lines are not automatically deselected. You must select a line again to deselect it. |
|
Several export functions are not supported: Crystal export; direct export to Excel and Word; and the send functions. |
|
There are no cut, copy, or paste functions. |
