OLE.EditSelection properyt

ColinRuleColinRule
in SRP EditTable Control
I have tried this, selecting text in the current cell, but the result returns 0:0
Please can you confirm this is working for you.

Selection=Get_Property(OLE_DESCTABLE,"OLE.EditSelection")
I assume there is no need for any reference to the SelPos being the currently active edited cell.

Thanks

Colin

    Colin,

    What event are you checking this property in? It does work for me in the BeforeUpdate event.

    If you are checking this property during the vent of, say, a button click, then the table loses focus and the edit mode is closed. This would cause the property to return 0:0. In other words, this property only returns information if a cell is in edit mode.

    That would be it then.
    I am doing the function within a click event (calling a form).
    The idea is that the form that is called allows a selection from a list, which the aim is to replace the selected text within the edittable cell with that text.

    For example "Spec ? in drawing ?" where the ? characters would be selected, and say a drawing number is added.

    I will see about doing this in a different way, such as on lostfocus I can get the selected text positions, store this somewhere and then use it in the called routine.

    Then you should use the SRP Button Control and set it to a style that does not alter focus. The downside is that users can't tab to such a button, but it simplifies this issue significantly.
