Over view page title description is getting truncated - Where to change field length of title field

[Former Member]

Hello Experts ,

    I have created a custom UI Component. I have a description field at the header level as shown below. Description field is 124 char length.

The same description i am displaying on the over view page as shown in green color. Now how to change the title length so that i can display complete length ?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

try using the below code for ur reference..

method IF_BSP_WD_HISTORY_STATE_DESCR~GET_STATE_DESCRIPTION.

DATA lr_name TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_property_access.
   DATA lv_name TYPE STRING.

   lr_name ?= me->typed_context->ZDETAILS->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).

   CALL METHOD lr_name->get_property_as_string
     EXPORTING
       iv_attr_name      = 'FIRSTNAME'
      RECEIVING
       rv_result         = lv_name.

   CONCATENATE 'Details of' lv_name INTO description SEPARATED BY space.
endmethod.

cheers,

Hi Nikhil,

You can implement the menthod IF_BSP_WD_HISTORY_STATE_DESCR~GET_STATE_DESCRIPTION at window level it will work.

Hi Nikhil,

Check the method IF_BSP_WD_HISTORY_STATE_DESCR~GET_STATE_DESCRIPTION of the window . I guess the description parameter is of type string and it should be fine .

Hello Nithish ,

  Ya it makes sense. But as you can see the in the above figure , i am only setting '69' in  IF_BSP_WD_HISTORY_STATE_DESCR~GET_STATE_DESCRIPTION . Not sure from where it is getting this description . Is there any other place where we get the text and concatinate with this text ? Hope i am clear in explaining my problem.

Nikhil,

Check the method in both window  implementation class and overview impl. class.

Hello Nithish ,

    u were rt , basically i have 3 components , one for search , one as head component and another component by name MAIN  which is intermediate between my Search and Head component . Main component has only Navigation links.

Now in my search component _IMPL class i am getting some text and i am setting that in the method : IF_BSP_WD_HISTORY_STATE_DESCR~GET_STATE_DESCRIPTION . And now when i am navigating to my Head component via main component , i am adding some more text to that title. and it is been done in

IF_BSP_WD_HISTORY_STATE_DESCR~GET_STATE_DESCRIPTION of my main component _impl class. Here i am getting the reference of the window and navigating to head component.

I could have even set every thing in the Main component's get_state_description method also . is'nt it ?

or even in my Head components  get_state_description. Which would you suggest to implement ?

THanks and Regards,

Nikhil,

If you have separate Main(M), Head(H) and Search(S) component , the M -component main window method IF_BSP_WD_HISTORY_STATE_DESCR~GET_STATE_DESCRIPTION  gets triggered first which will call the appropriate H or S components window  based on component usage .

Now in either H or S components Main window method , you can place your logic to display the title or you can call the overviewset page of the same component and place the logic there . It depends upon your requirement . In most of the standard components , they use this approach first they try to check at the inner level ( overview level) , if it doesn't fetch anything then they use some default logic to populate the description.

In your case you can try redefining the overviewset method , in case the window method is calling the ovevrviewset method to fetch the description . Else , you directly can redefine window method and place your logic.

At the header level in the above screen shot , i a have Description field. The same description i want to display it on the Over view page title bar . it is getting displayed but partially as you can see. So i want to know where we should change this title length so that it can accomodate full description .

THnaks and regards,

Hi Nikhil,

Put debugger in IF_BSP_WD_HISTORY_STATE_DESCR~GET_STATE_DESCRIPTION of IMPL of OV page,and check in returning parameter DESCRIPTION. You can add upto 256 charactes as description.
