Re: clickability in a DataGrid
Thanks, Peter Craig. It appears, Craig, that your solution is just the ticket. With your mouseUp handler in the group script, if I click on a column in the sixth row of the grid, I get the following parseable output: field [column name] 0006 Exactly what I need. Thanks. Minor sidebar question, which isn't remotely relevant for the stack in question: Does this mean DataGrids are limited to rows? Sieg Lindstrom On Jan 22, 2013, at 7:21 PM, Craig Newman wrote: Hi. There are a few ways to do this.

Alas, I spoke too soon. The output on this handler correctly identifies the column by column name but the four digit integer that follows does not correspond to the row number.

Re: clickability in a DataGrid
Hej Klaus, Many thanks for the tip and the link to the datagrid manual as PDF. I used too much shorthand in describing my desire to edit the content of the row. I'm trying to duplicate an admin tool that runs in Javascript on a server. The Javascript is a black box to me; I'm just trying to duplicate the functionality, so I don't want the user to have to edit rows in the datagrid, but rather select a row to edit, and then the editing will take place on a different card set up to mimic fields and buttons in the old admin tool. Now I'm on the right track. Thanks.

Using a standard text field with tab-delimited data in each row, I'd use the ClickText and the ClickLine in the field script to determine what the user clicked and trigger the appropriate actions. How would one achieve this in a DataGrid? Thanks in advance!

Re: clickability in a DataGrid
Hi. There are a few ways to do this. The old fashioned way is to write in the group script: on mouseUp put the target end mouseUp You get a result that is easily deconstructed to row and column references. You can also trap the editFieldText message, or any of the row and column properties.

If nobody else can come up with something, a couple of alternatives would be to customize your Edit and Delete columns to contain buttons and put your delete/edit commands in the mouseUp handler for each button, or implement a right click popup menu with delete/edit options on it and put the logic in the menuPick handler for the popup. Would take too much space to describe how to do those things, but check out the datagrid manual for details.

Re: clickability in a DataGrid
Peter. Those are the row and column properties I meant. But I do not understand why you cannot get what I got with the mouseUp handler. It is the very first thing I ever did with a dataGrid, before I learned some of the other functionalities. With that handler,I get something like: field Col 1 0001 which can be easily broken out as required. The handler is in the group script, right?

Re: clickability in a DataGrid
Yep, in the group script. You could probably do it in a selectionChanged handler as well. Pete On Tuesday, January 22, 2013, dunb...@aol.com wrote: Peter.
