====== EditTable CookBook - Setting TEXT_BY_POS ======

=== Published 30 SEP 2009 at 09:00:00AM by Captain C ===

As documented the TEXT_BY_POS message may be used to retrieve the contents of a nominated cell. What is not documented is the fact that you can use it to //update// the contents of a cell as well. It's simply a matter of adding an extra parameter containing the data you wish to set.

E.g.



0001     * %%//%% Example to show setting cell contents with the
0002     * %%//%% TEXT_BY_POS message.
0003     
0004     * %%//%% Set the contents of cell [3,4]
0005     colNo    = 3
0006     rowNo    = 4
0007     cellText = "New Cell Data"
0008     
0009     call send_Message( @window : ".TABLE_1", |
0010                        "TEXT_BY_POS",        |
0011                        colNo,                |
0012                        rowNo,                |
0013                        cellText ) 




OpenInsight trivia bonus: The EditTable CELLPOS property is a simple wrapper around the TEXT_BY_POS message.
