RAGrid Edit Problem

[msmith]

After editing a cell, I cannot write to this cell.

I have tried GM_ENDEDIT and GM_ENTEREDIT with a different cell specified. Neither works.

The older version did not have this problem.

Hi

This is what I used to test.
Could you explain in more detail what goes wrong?

Hi Ketil,

Your test would need to use GM_SETCELLDATA to write to a cell that had been selected for edit in order to demonstrate my problem.

Another person here suggested that I describe the problem this way:

After clicking on a cell, the cell no longer responds to a GM_SETCELLDATA until the user selects another cell.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks

There were still a few bugs.
GM_SETCELLDATA will not update the edit control if it is visible.
Hide the edit control with GM_ENDEDIT before using GM_SETCELLDATA

Hi Ketil,

As I mentioned in the first post of this thread, I have tried GM_ENDEDIT like you just mentioned and it doesn't help.

Prior to this problem, I hadn't ever used GM_ENDEDIT, so maybe I'm missing something.

Hi Ketil,

I now have it working correctly.

In the first post on this thread, I said "The older version did not have this problem." This was not correct.

The reason I thought that was because on my own earlier version I was using GN_AFTERUPDATE. Lately, I have been using GN_BEFOREEDIT because GN_AFTERUPDATE causes an event whether the update was from program activity or user input. I was getting events when the program wrote to a cell, which was spurious for my needs. Therefore, I switched to GN_BEFOREEDIT to solve the problem. What I have just now realized is that this is what has caused the problem of this thread.

I have now switched to GN_AFTERSELCHANGE which seems to solve the problem. This does not require GM_ENDEDIT.

BTW, the reason I liked GN_AFTERUPDATE before I found the other problem (spurious events from program writing to cell) was that it only requires 1 'Enter' for the change to "take".

Anyway, while I'm not crazy about how the user input cell events work, I'm still your biggest fan.

I use RAGrid and, RAEDit every day in my compiler. I use RAEdit for my main text editor. I use the grid for property boxes, style and exstyle boxes, diagnostic reports, and symbol table dumps. I also use Draw Progress and WebBrowser.

I really appreciate your efforts.
