Know at Run time which Cell in a grid is selected

[Legacy User]

Good Day
Can anyone maybe help me. Is it possible, and if it is how, can I determine in a grid which cell is selected to do a drill down on?

Hi TienieAs long I remember, it ´s possible for a editable grid. Given that, you can make a loop on grid rows, and ask for cell that has focus:For each row GridPget GridPif focus My_data...

Hmm.. ok.. I did basically the same, but I used For Each Selected, I just want to know in that row which cel is selected. I suppose it does not make a difference, I might as well jsut use for each row.. I will give it a shot. Thanks!

I Tried using what you said, still now luck.. The grid is editable but it does not seem to recognize a focussed cel?

Tienie, One thing to watch out for is that the editable grid has two "levels" of focus. You click once to focus on the cell but then have to click again to actually focus on the underlying field. It may be that If Focus doesn't work unless the underlying field has focus?

Hi  I just realised that. That I have to Click, and click again to select the data in the cel, then it picks up the focus. .Thanks for the help. The problem that I have is that I want to do this in a "read Only" grid.. I do not want this specific grid to be editable.. But users should be able to drill down on a cell to see the orders behind that specific cell..  any ideas?

Hi Tienie,  I didn't verify that by myself, but I think the behaviour of the grid could be different if you set the  grid itself  to Read Only Mode vs you set the fields in the grid to Read Only Mode or if you set the fields in the grid to state Protected at runtime.You may want to try that....

Hi Tienie,

I wonder if you found a solution to this problem as I am facing the same issue now, working in Plex61, tried all kinds of tricks but to no avail.....

Thanks,

Hi Simon

Are you also trying to do it with a read only grid?

I never got a way to get the focus of a cell if the grid is read only. But like I mention we can do it on a editable grid, but you have to click twice on the cell. Once to focus on the cell, and then again to select the data in the cell.. Then we could get the focus

Hi Tienie,

Thanks for the reply. My grid is editable but some of the colums are "protected" but still can be selected by the user but not "twice", so works on the editable columns but need it to work on the protected columns too in order to disable an event, wiil give the solutions as mentioned by George a closer look.

hi Simon the following looks interesting?

hi George,

Holidays are over, mine too...

Thanks for the suggestion.

Just incoprporated following C source:

HWND hWnd = ObPanelAPI::GetControlHandleByName( &(3:) );
LONG lMarker = SendMessage(hWnd, HGM_GETMARKER, 0, 0L);
&(1:) = HIWORD(lMarker);
&(2:) = LOWORD(lMarker);

Where &3: is the control name as on teh panel and &1-2: are numeric indexes.

This gives me the row and column indexes of the selected cell in the grid. Just need to convince the user not to sort the grid or change the columns around....

Would be so nice if I could also get the column name!

Cheers,

Simon
