Date Navigator – Marking & Date Legends – How to Do

Date Navigator can be very much useful in case of Time related applications. In one of my development related to the Leave application, has created a Calendar which has been marked with the Leave days, Holidays & Week offs with the Tooltip text mentioning the exact description along with the Legends which shows the meaning of the colors marked.

Date Navigator

Use the Data Navigator UI element and create a Date Navigator Marking Ui inside it.

Create a Legend UI element with a proper element id & Create a Multiple legend Item Ui inside it.

Now create the Context Node & Attributes for the Date Navigator & Legends

4. Bind the Date Navigator Marking UI with the DATE_MARKING Node & Attributes

Bind the Multiple Legend Item UI with the LEG_ITEMS Node & Attributes as below

Mention the name of the Legend element Id name in the legendid property of the Date navigator UI element

Write the necessary logic in WDDOINIT method to fill the internal table of the DATE_MARKING & LEG_ITEMS node to see the result in the UI. Please check the code give in the sample code section.

Now the UI will be displayed with the calendar UI with days marked in colors along with the Legends for the colors with Description

    lo_nd_leg_items->bind_table(

    lo_nd_date_marking->bind_table(

Hope this helps. Cheers.
