I want to use a grid as a nicely columnized (and headered) list box basically. I need a couple
"features" to get this to work properly....
a) When the grid first appears, I need the RECORDMARK to be marked for the "current" record
b) I would like the entire ROW to be highlighted - different background color, for the "current" record
c) When a user clicks ANYWHERE on a row (in any column), I want that row to become the
current record (moving the RECORDMARK and highlite (b above) correctly BUT I don't want
a cursor or any editing capability in that row or column.
For the record, if a user wants to ADD, DELETE or EDIT the "current" row, they will go to a
seperate pageframe tab where that information is all spelled out.
The only thing I have "crudely" been able to get to work is to avoid the actually editing in a row
by modifying the CLICK method for each column. In it, I have changed the SETFOCUS back to
the pageframe tab headings themself. It works but it flashes, and is messy and actually only works
on the click. I need to use the GOTFOCUS or something else to catch arrow and tab controls as
well as mouse movements.
Is there an easy way to do all this. Am I overlooking something. Or is this just wishfull thinking?
Thanks ahead of time
