CONTROLS - TYPE TABSTRIP

Short Reference
• TYPE TABSTRIP CONTROLS


ABAP Syntax CONTROLS contrl TYPE TABSTRIP.


What does it do? Declares a tabstrip control. If you specify the type TABSTRIP in the CONTROLS statement, a deep structure is created with the name of the control and the type CXTAB_TABSTRIP of the type group CXTAB. From this structure, only the component ACTIVETAB is required in the program.

In PBO processing, the active tabstrip page is specified by assigning the function code of a tab title to the component ACTIVETAB. The first tabstrip page is active by default. When scrolling in the SAP GUI, the tabstrip control can be initialized in this way. For any scrolling in an ABAP program, the tabstrip page selected by the user must be activated by this assignment. You must also ensure that the desired subscreen is included in the screen flow logic using the CALL SUBSCREEN statement.

In PAI processing, the component ACTIVETAB contains the function code of the active tab title. When scrolling in the SAP GUI, you can determine which tabstrip page is currently displayed in this way.



Latest notes:The same applies to the inclusion of subscreens of
tabstrips using CALL SUBSCREEN as for normal subscreens.



Example ABAP Coding
If, on a subscreen, a tabstrip control is defined with
three untyped tab titles with the function codes 'TAB1', 'TAB2', and 'TAB3' and a subscreen area SUB, the scrolling can be programmed in ABAP as follows. In a PBO module, prepare_tabstrip, the component activetab of the structure tab_strip created using CONTROLS is assigned the function code of the first tab title. After a tab title has been selected, this component is set to the relevant function code in the PAI module handle_user_command. The number of the desired subscreen screen is assigned to the data object dynnr that is used for including the subscreen in the screen flow logic. The corresponding programming of the screen flow logic can be seen in the example for CALL SUBSCREEN . CONTROLS tab_strip TYPE TABSTRIP.
DATA: ok_code TYPE sy-ucomm,
dynnr TYPE sy-dynnr.
...
MODULE prepare_tabstrip OUTPUT.
IF tab_strip-activetab IS INITIAL OR
dynnr IS INITIAL.
tab_strip-activetab = 'TAB1'.
dynnr = '0110'.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE handle_user_command INPUT.
CASE ok_code.
WHEN 'TAB1'.
dynnr = '0110'.
WHEN 'TAB2'.
dynnr = '0120'.
WHEN 'TAB3'.
dynnr = '0130'.
...
ENDCASE.
IF ok_code(3) = 'TAB'.
tab_strip-activetab = ok_code.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
