MTable Focus Question

[michael]

 Posted by:  Michael Hummel 

i have a table with 5 columns, 2 columns should be editable.

The Problem: Column C (see jpg) should always!! get the focus when pressing
the TAB or ENTER Key (SalMapTab....)
Column D should only be "accessible" by mouseclick

The problem is, when both columns are editable the focus is C, D, C, D, ...

I tried to set column D to "not editable" and do this code

ON MTM_AreaLBtnUp
If wParam = SalWindowHandleToNumber( colD )
call SalEnableWindow( colD )
call SalSetFocus ( colD ) ! does not work

and ON SAM_KillFocus -> Call SalDisableWindow(colD)

but the focus is not set. you have to click twice.
does anyone know a better solution
thank you

Hi
Try use SalTblSetFocusCell() instead of SalSetFocus

thank you Kris,

but SalTblSetFocusCell() needs a rownr.
MTM_AreaLBbtnUp does not support rownr (lparam is null)

Can't you use SalTblQueryContext(hWndTbl) instead of lParam? Or is the
context still on the old row when MTM_AreaBtnUp is processed?

Hi
I have a table with several columns but user type only (in 99%) in one of
them
And after he/she press TAB I go directly to the next row and set focus to
this one column ans so on but using mouse user can edit other columns
If this sounds familiar you can use this code in column message action:

On WM_KEYDOWN
If wParam = VK_Tab
Set nRow = SalTblQueryContext( twParams )
Loop
If SalTblFindNextRow( twParams, nRow, 0, 0 )
Call SalTblSetFocusCell( twParams, nRow, colValue, 0, -1 )
Break
Else
Set nRow = TBL_MinRow
Return FALSE
If SalTblFindNextRow( twParams, nRow, 0, 0 )
Call SalTblSetFocusCell( twParams, nRow, colValue, 0, -1 )
Return FALSE

lParam should contain the row number if the mouse is over a valid row.
