Get selected row of ABAP web dynpro table




Once you have added a table to your web dynpro for ABAP application you may need to find out which row has been selected by the user inorder to perform further processing. These two methods assume lead selection is being used, if lead selection is not active on your table element then you will need to use the GET_SELECTED_ELEMENTS method to retrieve the selected rows.

There is actually a number of ways to do this, one is by creating an 'onSelect' event method for your table. A second method is a more generic way which allows you to add the functionality to any action/process within your wdp application. You could therefor have a separate button which captures which row has been selected.

First step to implementing this is to create a basic web dynpro application which conatians a table and a button

Generic Method - Add code to your button action method
From the actions tab you can double click on your button ACTION to view its associated method and add the below ABAP code to it. 'CARRIERS' is the context node assigned to the table.

  Data: context_node type ref to if_wd_context_node.

  Data: it_scarr type STANDARD TABLE OF if_view1=>element_CARRIERS,
        wa_scarr like line of it_scarr.
  data: ld_element   type ref to if_wd_context_element.


  context_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'CARRIERS').
  ld_element   = context_node->get_lead_selection( ).

  if  not ld_element is INITIAL.
    ld_element->get_static_attributes( IMPORTING
                                        static_attributes = wa_scarr ).
  endif.

* Data of selected row is now contained in wa_scarr


onSelect Event Method - Add code to your table onSelect Event
From the table UI element within the layout tab create an 'onSelect' event, ensuring that you tick the 'Transfer UI Event Parameters' checkbox. Now add the following code to the resultant event method. Again 'CARRIERS' is the context node assigned to the table.

  Data: context_node type ref to if_wd_context_node.
  Data: it_scarr type STANDARD TABLE OF if_view1=>element_CARRIERS,
        wa_scarr like line of it_scarr.
  DATA: ld_index type i.

*NEW_LEAD_SELECTION should be an importing parameter of the method which was auto created
*There should also be an OLD_LEAD_SELECTION showing the previous selected row!
  ld_index = NEW_LEAD_SELECTION->GET_INDEX( ). "get index of row selected

  context_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'CARRIERS').
  refresh: it_scarr.

* Get data contained within ABAP web dynpro table
  context_node->get_static_attributes_table(
    importing
      table = it_scarr ).

* Get data contained in currently selected row of an ABAP web dynpro table
  context_node->GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES(
     exporting index = ld_index
     importing STATIC_ATTRIBUTES = wa_scarr ).

Set all Methods of IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE interface
