Close a Grid by Double Clicking a Cell

Close a Grid by Double Clicking a Cell

Close a Grid by Double Clicking a Cell

(OP)
Hi,

I need to setup a form grid where ColumnCount = -1 to allow double clicking a cell with code to close the grid while selecting the clicked record. This is easy when ColumnCount is not -1 and code in the cell's text methods. Just not been able to get it to work with a -1 value.

Thanks,
Stanley

Hi Tom,

I'll do some research and have never used it...

Thanks,

If you want to execute code on a double click event of an element just register a listener, like tomk3 suggested, with the BINDEVENT function.


You can check the BINDEVENT documentation here:

https://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~BindEvent

The name of the event you have to register is "dblclick"


You can also register it from the GUI:

Hello,

basically you can add a method dothefocus to the form
after grid is initialised :
FOR EACH loCol IN Thisform.myGrid.Columns
BINDEVENT( loCol.Text1 , "LostFocus" , Thisform , "dothefocus" )
ENDFOR

or se here for more details and a maybe matching sample :

If columncount is -1, well, there is no grid, there are no columns, no headers, no records, no grid lines.

I wonder if you overlook something in your usage of the grid. For example, that it grabs an active workarea and adds columns at runtime, if you don't do it at design time. So you use a normal grid with columncount>0 in the end.

Hi Chriss,

This is true at design time, but not true at runtime. The only dblclick method is at the grid level at design time as there are no other grid child controls.

I'm going to play around with Tom's idea as I see looks doable.

Thanks, Stanley

Hi Tom.

I got it working and it works perfectly. I used your routine...

CODE --> Tom

FOR EACH loCol IN Thisform.myGrid.Columns
    BINDEVENT( loCol.Text1 , "LostFocus" , Thisform , "dothefocus" )
ENDFOR

Thanks again,
Stanley
