Kauko, Thank you for getting back to me and providing me with plenty of screen shots. Here is our dilemma: version 2.2.9 of the SRP EditTable control is too old for us to support. Also, I have a similar form as you and when I run through the same …
-
Kauko, Two questions: * How are you navigating to the other tabs? * What version of the SRP EditTable control are you using?
-
Barry, This is not built into the control. It can be simulated, but it would take a bit or work.
-
Colin, Good hunting. Unless my colleague says otherwise, I would consider this to be a bug, but one that is somewhat understandable. You see, headers are really cells "under the hood" within the SRP EditTable. They just have different behavior and …
-
Colin, Thank you for the screen shot. That is most helpful. However, I don't see this in any of my apps so there must be something unique in the way your cell is configured. Is it possible, as Don Muskopf suggested, that you have the CellMultilined…
-
Colin, Perhaps I am missing something, but I don't see that triangle you are referring to. Can you post a screen shot? Also, what version/theme of Windows are you seeing this in?
-
Colin, Is this behavior you see with all EditTable cells that has a dropdown feature implemented? I am not seeing this but then I am also not seeing the resize triangle either...so I wonder if there is a connection.
-
Mark, This sounds like a good design. As long as the true validation/conversion follows standard protocols then it makes a lot of sense to have useful wrappers that manage the high-level stuff in an automated fashion. We like things as easy as poss…
-
Mark, Your approach toward updating your validation logic is what I was thinking. Am I to infer that your core validation routines are not modeled after a traditional user-defined conversion (UDC) procedure? Thus, these are highly GUI sensitive? I…
-
Mark, Actually just realised the validation concept doesn't work on the beforeupdate either simply because I get the validation error, click ok, it returns me back to the cell but then I just have to click in another cell to evade the validation. …
-
Mark, Just thinking out loud here without attempting to try this in the lab (because this is way too dangerous to do this at home! :-)), but what if you allowed a single period to pass through your validation logic (BeforeUpdate) and then in your A…
-
Mark, Does your PosChanging logic work if the user immediately leaves the SRP EditTable or if the user does something to commit the data in the form (e.g., executes the WRITE event or executes the CLICK event of an OK button )? Also, I agree with …
-
Mark, The chicken has always come before the egg. The order of events is as follows: * BeforeUpdate * AfterUpdate * PosChanging * PosChanged This assumes you have the events qualified as synchronous. Your best bet is to manage validation i…

Hi James, There is no easy way to allow you to track this issue. Our bug/project management systems, JIRA, does not provide the ability to add emails that our outside of our licensed user accounts. There are plug-ins that are supposed to provide th…
-
James, I cannot seem to get the Thumbnail layout to work so I believe this is a bug, or improperly documented property. I have entered this into our issue tracking system. For future reference it has been assigned an ID of OLE-67.
-
James, I will look into this but I might need to ask you for more information. We have other customers who have done exactly what you are doing and I am almost 100% certain they are using the Thumbnail layout. Are you using RowsToRecords? If not, …
-
James, First off, good looking window! Second, I now understand what you are referring to. The cell border itself is not preserved when the SRP EditTable loses focus but the Foreground and Background colors are. I believe this is intentional but I…
-
Hi James, My guess is that this is really a slightly different problem. The SelectionStyle property will certainly keep your formatting for the cell when the EditTable loses focus. I just tested to confirm. What I think is probably happening is tha…
-
Colin, I apologize for the confusion. But this issue is exactly why we created the wiki. Only one person could maintain the .CHM help file and it was a chore to keep current, even more so to distribute. This is also why the newer versions of the SR…
-
Colin, What online help are you referring to? Are you going to this page? I don't see any commas used in these examples. Also, please read the section on Conversion Pattern very carefully. There are caveats when using implicit formatting.
-
Dan, In case it will help you along, here is a routine that ships with FrameWorks that we use to help with this kind of management: Function Transfer_EditTable_Data(SourceEditTable, TargetEditTable, ArrayFlag, UpdateCellEdit) /******************…
-
Hi Dan, OpenInsight does not provide a way to naturally bind database columns to ActiveX controls. So you have to manage this on your own. For SRP EditTable controls, the most common approach is to keep an invisible OI edit table control on the for…
-
Colin, I believe this is related to another problem that has been reported to us (by email, not on the forum). We are working on a fix for the 3.0.4 version of the SRP EditTable control. When we have this ready I would like to send you a release ca…
-
Kevin, If I read Colin correctly, he is NOT having any problems with the SRP EditTable...just the opposite. He just wants some assurance that if he commits himself to using the SRP EditTable in this situation that there will not be any known roadbl…
-
Dan, Depending on how fancy you want the UI to behave I am confident you can make something work. You could trap the OnClick event and check to see if the Ctrl or Shift keys were presed. If so, that would be a signal that the user wants to select …
-
Hi Dan, Alas, no. It is a feature, among others, that we would like to implement but it just has not risen to prominence on our list. Are you looking to emulate the ability to select any range of cells, or are you looking to do something more spec…
-
Adam, Are you using the RowsToRecords property? If so, what value are you setting?
-
Hi Phil, This is a good question. This issue is one that occasionally comes up but it is not well publicized. In short, the problem is that your client's system has the default system font set to a size which is larger than normal. All SRP controls…
-
Colin, Thanks for testing that. I wasn't referring to the ScrollBarsVisible property but it is good to know that it doesn't really change anything. I was just trying to see if the problem occurs only when the SRP EditTable is populated with data bu…
-
Colin, We have duplicated the problem. In fact, we have verified that this problem existed since at least 3.0.0 (we are currently at 3.0.2). We do not know if this existed with the 2.x version of the product. Maybe you can confirm something for me…
