Changing Cell Editors

As standard, the cells of the ALV display are displayed with cell editors, for example the TextView , which are not ready for input. If you want to make the ALV editable then you have the option to replace these cell editors with the following interactive interface elements:

• InputField

• Checkbox

• ToggleButton

• TriStateCheckBox

• DropDownByKey

Classes for interactive UI elements

You can find these classes in the system in package SALV_WD_CONFIG.

For information about displaying one of the UI elements in a cell, see Assigning Properties to Columns and Cells .

Proceed as follows to set an InputField as the cell editor for a column:

1. Instantiate the ALV Configuration Model, as described in Getting ALV Configuration Model .

2. Add the following code where lv_value is the variable for the configuration model:

   DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings,
   lr_input_field TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field.
   lr_column_settings ?= lv_value.
   lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'MY_COLUMN' ).
   CREATE OBJECT lr_input_field EXPORTING value_fieldname = 'MY_COLUMN'.
   lr_column->set_cell_editor( lr_input_field ).
