Edit the cell of xBrowse

[Natter]

Hi, all !

XBrowse column is of type :nEditType:= EDIT_GET
Standard GET-object editing is invoked by double-clicking. Is it possible to activate editing a cell, not a double click, and keystroke on the keyboard ?

Yes.
Either set

Code: Select all  Expand view

oBrw:lFastEdit := .t.

or
create XBROWSE with clause FASTEDIT.

In this case, keystroke will invoke edit just Excel

Yes, I did lFirstEdit:=.T. But I don't understand how you can prevent the double click and enter your key combination to activate the edit

It is rather unusual requirement. But, ...

Not to invoke edit when double click

Code: Select all  Expand view

oCol:bLDClickData := { || nil }

To prevent EnterKey from invoking edit

Code: Select all  Expand view

oBrw:lEnterKey2Edit := .f.

If we want F2 key to invoke edit like Excel

Code: Select all  Expand view

oBrw:lF2KeyToEdit := .t.

If we want a key combination Eg. Ctrl-E to invoke edit

Code: Select all  Expand view

oCol:bKeyChar      := { |k| If( k == 5, oCol:Edit(), nil ) }

Thank You, Mr. Rao. This is what you need !

Another question - can I handle the event of movement of the mouse cursor on the header of xBrowse ?

[nageswaragunupudi]

You can handle mouse movement by assigning oBrw:bMMoved := { |nRow, nCol, nFlags| <yourfunc>( nRow, nCol, nFlags ) }
Within your function you can check if nRow < oBrw:nHeaderHeight to check if the mouse is on header.
