This is a bug report about editing EDITBOXES IN A GRID with the system menu edit items ( _MSM_EDIT) enabled. I have searched in the archives here and have only found associated (so, not equal) reports. Moreover, I haven't found a workaround in the archives.
The system menu edit items are:
_med_cut CTRL+X
_med_copy CTRL+C
_med_paste CTRL+V
_med_slcta CTRL+A
_med_undo CTRL+Z.
These do not work properly when SPARSE is False. For example, CTRL+A does not select at all and CTRL+C moves the cursor to the beginning of the text.
A workaround might be to put THIS.PARENT.SPARSE = .T. in the GotFocus() of the editbox and put THIS.PARENT.SPARSE = .F. in its LostFocus(). However, the consequence is that the very moment it's put to True all the other cells in the column change to Memo. Any other workaround available?
If your findings differ from mine, please share this too.
Update: I have removed the example code (retrieved from a viewcode.prg) because it didn't nicely run.
Groet,
Peter de Valença
