Matt, I do not believe this is a problem with the SRP EditTable control. I tried to replicate but was unsuccessful. I suspect Mark is getting to the heart of the issue. Z-order (or tab order) can make a difference, especially if you are leap froggi…

Colin, That is a pre-release control. We just officially released 3.1.3. It would be very helpful if you could test with that version. It would be newer than 3.2.0 RC9 so it might have fixes your control does not have.
-
Colin, So we can determine if this is a new error introduced with the latest control or a pre-existing error, would you please confirm what version you are using? If this is the latest release, are you able to test with the prior release?
-
Matt, I was able to confer with Kevin this evening. Our original plan was to complete work on a new control which has not formally been revealed before releasing a new version of our controls. However, since this might be delayed due to Kevin's cur…
-
Matt, I am rather confident we can get a new official control released. Kevin is away on assignment so this limits our ability to roll stuff out as quickly as we would like. I will get with him to confirm.
-
Matt, I think you identified the critical issue: hiding the header column. I now see the problem on my end. I have logged this into our issue tracking system as OLE-83. Someone will post back to this thread with an update or resolution.
-
Matt, Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for others on my staff to comment. I have not yet tested this with the separate control. With the Pro control I am not seeing this. However, there may be other particulars with your setup that do not match m…

Matt, Are you using a separated SRP EditTable control or the SRP Controls Pro?
-
Kauko, Thank you again for your assistance with this. The RDK you supplied was very helpful. I was able to reproduce the problem and I isolated this down to one line of code. For whatever reason, when you set the control's NEXT property to itself, …
-
Kauko, I appreciate your work on this. Now we have a different dilemma: replicating the problem. As mentioned previously, I have a window similar to yours and I do not see this problem. So we have to figure out how to recreate the problem so we can…
-
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.
