Is there a document somewhere with all the commands, properties, use, hints & tips that are available for an EDITTABLE.
e.g.
Retrieve data without affecting cursor pos.
ColumnData=Send_message(Ctrl,"TEXT_BY_POS",ColNo,0)CellData =Send_message(Ctrl,"TEXT_BY_POS",ColNo,RowNo)Change data without affecting cursor pos.
OldCellValue=set_property(Ctrl,'DEFPROP',ColNo:@fm:RowNo)OldCollValue=set_property(Ctrl,'DEFPROP',ColNo:@fm:0)etc. etc

RevSoft started on such a document but with all the edit table's peculiarites it got so big it wouldn't fit on their server.

Barry,
Sounds like a great idea for either a SENL article or maybe a mini-OI REVMEDIA document. (Andrew: hint, hint )
However, I do have it on good authority that the next SNEL will show how to do some cool stuff with edittables - although this it is not edittable specific, but it is not as easy with other controls. Stay tuned.
Outside of scanning the PRG and compiling a list of edittable related routines, it might be useful to get a copy of the DATATABLE documentation from ProtoView (this is the name of the actual control we use and the company that makes it). This provides a full list of abilities, although the version that comes with OI is a little feature sparse. Nevertheless, it has been helpful to me. For instance, this is how I learned to switch the keystroke that puts a cell into edit mode from to something else.
Cheers,
