12.2.5 Defining the Windows
As George Formby would sing, “You should see what I can see when I’m defining
windows!” Both of our windows are going to have two containers, each with a
view inside of it. On the main screen, you’ll show the selection options, and then
the main ALV grid. On the single monster record display, you’ll show the header
record, and then a grid of monster items.You set up the two containers when creating
the V_HEADER_GRID and V_DISPLAY_MONSTER views earlier, but they’re empty
at the moment.
Navigate to the W_MONSTER_MONITOR window, choose the Window tab, choose the
SELECT_OPTIONS node of the V_HEADER_GRID, right-click, and choose Embed View.
Figure 12.18 shows the popup box that appears when you want to embed a view.
All the fields are grayed out, so you have to choose the view you want via the (F4)
help. This gives you a list of all the views you have defined thus far and a load of
entries that are a result of the two ALV components you declared earlier. Just to
be wild and daring, choose the SELECT_OPTIONS view for the SELECT_OPTIONS container.
