SALV Table 14 – Editable Checkbox

Editable Checkbox in the SALV table

In the series of the SALV Model Table display in SAP ABAP, today we will see how to get the editable checkbox in ALV Grid. You can find all the Previous discussion at Tutorials > SALV Table Display .

To get the selectable (editable) checkbox, we need to get the specific column from the column object. After this, we need to set the cell type as IF_SALV_C_CELL_TYPE=>CHECKBOX_HOTSPOT by using the method SET_CELL_TYPE. To update the values in the checkbox, we need to handle the event LINK_CLICK. This event LINK_CLICK is triggered when we click on the hotspot enabled checkbox. In the event handler method, we need to change the value of the checkbox field and call the REFRESH method to refresh the value on the ALV.

    how to add a select all button to check all item?

  • Anonymous

    Once you select items using check box, where do you handle the lines selected in the program. For example deleted document for the checked item in ALV.

  • Hello,

    You asked:

    Once you select items using check box, where do you handle the lines selected in the program. For example deleted document for the checked item in ALV.

    You can handle that in the event handler method of the event LINK_CLICK e.g. on_link_click. You would know which is selected by using parameter ROW.

    How do you save the entries that was entered in the checkbox/es?

    I created a custom PF-STATUS and enabled the save button but I don't know how to put a code behind the function code 'SAVE'.

    Please let me know how to do this. Thanks!
