Well…
What is the best way to get the following information from an edittable…
What cell have I clicked in
What cell have I tabbed to
What was the last cell I was in
When am I leaving a cell and what is it's value
What is the value of the cell I am now in.
TIA

Barry,
I won't make the claim that this is the best way to do what you want, but it works for me :
What cell have I clicked in
Use the SELPOS property
What cell have I tabbed to
Use the SELPOS property
What was the last cell I was in
Use the PREVSELPOS property
When am I leaving a cell and what is it's value
If moving from one cell to another, use the PREVSELPOS property in the POSCHANGED event then use the DEFPROP (or INVALUE) property and pass it the Column:@FM:Row as the third parameter.
If moving from the edittable to another control, use the SELPOS property in the LOSTFOCUS event then use the DEFPROP (or INVALUE) property and pass it the Column:@FM:Row as the third parameter.
What is the value of the cell I am now in.
Use the SELPOS property then use the DEFPROP (or INVALUE) property and pass it the Column:@FM:Row as the third parameter. You would probably do this in the GOTFOCUS/POSCHANGED events.

As usual you have been a great help, this has verified a few things for me, thanks.

Barry,

In addition to what Don said - for those two above there's also NOTIFYPOS, in cases where SELPOS isn't good enough.
(But did you also mean to ask how you know if the user clicked or if he tabbed? That I don't know.)

Seems to me that a reference paper on all edit table property access and events what events you have to cater for to get the best control for each logic function you require would be in order.
Is there one already…or in the pipeline anywhere.

Barry,
Here is document listing just which events and properties the various controls have (Ctrls.pdf). Not much detail I'm afraid. The Knowledge Base contains just a couple of articles on the edit table. The discussions do contain a lot of useful stuff. It would be really nice if somebody would collect and edit that into an article (or perhaps a book; what about an Edit Table Bible?
). But life is short.

Barry,
About the only way to learn anything beyond the nor is to read all the messages and filter out the info. It would be nice if we could download the messages (you know .. like cis) and then put them in the form we want ..
