Re: Phantom Table field

Good ol' Jacques.

Thanks. Makes perfect sense. It is the inner workings that I am interested 
in.

Never occurred to me that such shenanigans were going on behind the scenes, 
but given that a data grid is actually dozens of objects all roped 
together, why not?

 Rev puts up a cell-sized field over the clicked cell so that you can

 back into the relevant item chunk in the field and removes its own
 field. The field is temporary. The reason you can't retrieve any
 click/selected/text chunking info is because Rev is trapping all that in
 order to process the text and pop it into its editing field.
 
 If you don't use the cRevTable cells option in the inspector, none of
 that will happen and you can manage the field text and trap selections
 normally.

Hi, Colin.

Help? If only this site covered every topic I wouldn't miss Mr. Goodman so 
much.

Thank you.

Still not sure about that phantom field, though.

I have played around with table fields, but wonder where any information 
about them exists. The user manual barely mentions them. I see it is a single, 
(sort of) list field with management to permit text entry into cells.


I cannot for the life of me trap any of the keyup/down or rawKeyup/down 
messages. These work as advertised in ordinary fields.


Since it acts sort of like a 2D list field, if I write a mouseUp handler to 
get info on the selectedChunk, say, I get an expression referring to a 
field number greater than the number of fields on the card. In other words, the 
number of the table field is 5, and I get a chunk expression like char 1 to 
4 of field 6. Where is this phantom field?
