Merging cells in Tableview

[sachin_khandelwal]

Hi,

I am creating a tableview in which I would like to merge few cells for few of the rows (based on some condition). I am also trying to make use of Table Iterator for the same but not getting proper clue.

Can someone please help.

Thanks and regards,

There are about a millions sources here in this forum for that A quick search will provide several for you.

<a href="/people/brian.mckellar/blog/2003/10/31/bsp-programming-htmlb-tableview-iterator">BSP Programming: HTMLB TableView Iterator</a>

Here is a code sample of doing something in the <b>IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~GET_COLUMN_DEFINITIONS</b>

method IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~GET_COLUMN_DEFINITIONS .

  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <def> LIKE LINE OF p_column_definitions.

  APPEND INITIAL LINE TO p_column_definitions ASSIGNING <def>.
  <def>-COLUMNNAME = 'SID'.
  <def>-TITLE      = 'System'.
  <def>-WIDTH      = '10%'.
  <def>-SORT       = 'X'.

  APPEND INITIAL LINE TO p_column_definitions ASSIGNING <def>.
  <def>-COLUMNNAME  = 'STATUS'.
  <def>-TITLE       = 'Status'.
  <def>-WIDTH       = '10%'.
  <def>-SORT       = 'X'.

  APPEND INITIAL LINE TO p_column_definitions ASSIGNING <def>.
  <def>-COLUMNNAME = 'CREATIMEDA'.
  <def>-TITLE      = 'Date'.
  <def>-WIDTH      = '10%'.

  APPEND INITIAL LINE TO p_column_definitions ASSIGNING <def>.
  <def>-COLUMNNAME = 'CREATIMETI'.
  <def>-TITLE      = 'Time'.
  <def>-WIDTH      = '10%'.

  APPEND INITIAL LINE TO p_column_definitions ASSIGNING <def>.
  <def>-COLUMNNAME = 'ALERTMSG'.
  <def>-TITLE      = 'Text'.
  <def>-WIDTH      = '50%'.
  <def>-WRAPPING   = 'X'.

  APPEND INITIAL LINE TO p_column_definitions ASSIGNING <def>.
  <def>-COLUMNNAME = 'UNAME'.
  <def>-TITLE      = 'Assigned User'.
  <def>-WIDTH      = '10%'.
  <def>-SORT       = 'X'.

endmethod.

Follow that with the code from <i><b>IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_ROW_START</b></i>

method IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_ROW_START .

  m_row_ref ?= p_row_data_ref.

endmethod.

and ending with this code from <i><b>IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_CELL_START</b></i>

method IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_CELL_START .

* Data Declarations
  DATA: dataValue TYPE STRING,
        tmp TYPE STRING,
        tmptext TYPE STRING.

  CASE p_column_key.

    WHEN 'STATUS'.
      dataValue = m_row_ref->STATUS.
      case dataValue.
        when ''.
          tmp = '@5B@'.
          tmptext = m_row_ref->STATUST.
        when 'C'.
          tmp = '@5B@'.
          tmptext = m_row_ref->STATUST.
        when 'D'.
          tmp = '@5D@'.
          tmptext = m_row_ref->STATUST.
        when 'E'.
          tmp = '@5C@'.
          tmptext = m_row_ref->STATUST.
      endcase.

      DATA: image TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_IMAGE.
      p_replacement_bee = cl_htmlb_image=>factory( id = 'img'
                  src = tmp
                  alt = tmptext ).

  ENDCASE.

endmethod.
