[archive] Navigating around a grid

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 23 December 2002]

Is there any way to naviate around a grid.

I have a simple grid comprising of say 5 columns and 5 rows.

Afer having placed my cursor in the first row/column, when selecting tab I would like to either skip a cell and say go to column three or skip directly to the second row.

Apart from MSG-VALIDATE which (I think) is part of the entry mode event does anyone have any tricks regarding this.

TIA

You could assign an exception value to the tab and capture that value.

Have you set the Use Tab property for the grid to True. That should allow you to tab to the next cell and then to the next row.

the pop-up menu used hit if you want to have a menu appear when you click the right bottom of the mouse

event 201-event thru 201-exit


his were you gone validate you message like goto cell in that you gone a have to modify grid-handle cursor-x x cursor-y y
201-EVENT.

EVALUATE EVENT-TYPE
WHEN MSG-VALIDATE
WHEN MSG-BEGIN-ENTRY
WHEN MSG-FINISH-ENTRY
WHEN MSG-CANCEL-ENTRY
