OpenInsight Specific

Hello all:

I'm trying to use PREVFOCUS on an edit table with no luck… works great for edit lines, so I'm pretty sure I have the syntax correct in my code. Is there a PREVFOCUS equivalent for edit tables?

Thanks much,

Mike O.

Hi Bob:

PREVSELPOS isn't what I'm looking for. Scenario is I'm in an edit table, then click on a button outside of the edit table. The button needs to know what the previous control was. PREVFOCUS does not seem to work when coming from edit tables, while PREVSELPOS assumes you already know the control name.

Make sense?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

In the click event of the external button, I put this:

*Determine the control that last had focus.

LastControl=Get_Property(@Window, "GOTFOCUS_CONTROL")

If RightString(LastControl, 5)=TABLE" then

Determine which column in the table currently is selected
SelPos=Get_Property(LastControl, "SELPOS")
SelColumn=SelPos
SelRow=SelPos
End

This gives me the name of the control that had focus. If it's a table, it gives me the selected row and column.
