Advanced SAPUI5 Part-30: the Grid Table Advanced Features

We gained knowledge of row actions as well as the freezing of columns and rows. I’ll go over the grid table’s characteristics below in this blog article.

  • swap out the row colors

Highlighter for Rows

A row highlighter is a vertical color band that is used to indicate a row’s start with a certain color, such as red for an error, yellow for a warning, green for a success, etc. In a technical sense, the grid table’s row Settings Template aggregate has to be implemented. The row Settings Template is where.


XML View coding

We have the Row Settings property named highlight set to the O Data service‘s Fax attribute. Please see the grid table topic for information on starting from scratch when building a UI control for a grid table. The aforementioned code is based on that post’s code. The value of the Fax attribute is not kept for some of the records in the OData service’s output. As a result, the formatter function used in the code above will return SUCCESS for entries for which fax is retained and ERROR for records of this type.


Controller coding: formatter function logic

The formatter function has been defined in the controller to return the correct value for the RowSettings highlight property. This is the code.

setHighLight:function(sProperty)
		{
			var highLightVal = '';
			if((sProperty === null) || (sProperty === ''))
			{
				highLightVal = sap.ui.core.MessageType.Error;
			}
			else
			{
				highLightVal = sap.ui.core.MessageType.Success;
			}
			return highLightVal;
		},

View the Row Highlighter in operation.

When you run the application, you will notice that rows will be highlighted in red and green depending on whether the Model’s Fax property is available.

Different Row Coloring

Up until now, every row has had the same background color—white. A characteristic of a grid table allows the rows to be alternately colored on a light grey background. To do this, set

The magic is accomplished by setting this property to true. Save the view code now, then launch the application once more. You’ll notice that the colors have been applied to alternate rows.
