I am using GRIDs in place of list boxes in many instances so that I can take advantage of the adjustable columns and the automatic headings etc.

Two issues I cannot get round are:

1. I cannot seem to generate the Ctrl-End action in the GRID. If I press Ctrl-End then it goes to the last line of the last page, but if I use ACTION = 11 it loads the last page but goes to the first line on that page. I want it to go automatically to the last line.

2. I cannot find any way to disable the cell box highlight which is annoying as I am only selecting a line, not a cell.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Keith

1: You can inquire the last row of the grid and then set cursor-y to that value. IE
01 grid-last-row pic 9(??).

inquire my-grid last-row in grid-last-row.
if using column-headings
subtract 1 from grid-last-row
end-if
modify my-grid cursor-y = grid-last-row.

2: setting the grid option "cursor-frame-width" to 0 will turn off the dark border surrounding the selected cell. And if you set "cursor-color" to the same value as your selected row's "row-color" it will appear as though the entire row has been selected.


Hope this helps.

One last issue on GRID.

If a cell is protected, I cannot get the DBLCLICK event, the MSG-BEGIN-ENTRY event never arrives in the event procedure.

If it is unprotected then I get a really strange behaviour I do not seem to be able to stop. After the double click and in the MSG-BEGIN-ENTRY event capture I display the pop-up menu I want them to see. BUT if I then click on the cell that received the double click I go straight into edit mode on the cell WHICH I DO NOT WANT. If another different cell is clicked whilst the pop-up menu is shown then this behaviour does not happen and the menu just disappears.

I have tried to modify the cell as protected immediately before I display the pop-up menu but this has no effect.

Any Suggestions?

Regards
Keith

You can prevent the entry from occurring by setting EVENT-ACTION to EVENT-ACTION-FAIL inside the event begin-entry, this lock the cell to be entered, then you can call de pop-up and select a value what you want, then modify the cell-data.

*
Gd-Grid-Ev-Msg-Begin-Entry.

Set Event-Action to Event-Action-Fail
perform popup
