This seemed simple enough… I wanted to clear the selection of an EditTable row (highlighted dark blue) when moving to a different EditTable just to avoid some possible user confusion.

This seemed like something that could be taken care of by setting its SELPOS to null or 0:@FM:0 or something similar. No go. I can move the highlighted row up and down with SELPOS if I enter a positive number or -1 for the row and col values, but I can't make it go away.

I tried some of the more obvious other properties and events with no success.

Is this a job for SendMessage, or am I just overlooking something embarassingly obvious?

Surely somebody knows a quick easy way to do this.

Thanks!

Jim

Jim,

Try this:

pre.code {

 background-color: #E5E5E5;

 border: 1px solid #000000;

 width: 640px;

 padding: 5px;

 font-family: courier, verdana, arial, serif;

 margin: 0px 10px auto;

}

   equ DTM_SELROW$ to ( 1024 + 59 )
   
   objxArray=       @window : ".TABLE_1"
   propArray=       "HANDLE"
   
   objxArray := @rm : @window : ".TABLE_1"
   propArray := @rm : "SELPOS"

   dataArray=       get_Property( objxArray, propArray )

   hwnd     =       dataArray1,@rm
   selPos   =       dataArraycol2()+1,@rm

   selRow=selPos<2>
   
   call sendMessage( hwnd, DTM_SELROW$, 0, selRow )

Hmm… That LOOKS like it ought to do something. I made that into a little re-usable function, guessing as to how it might work to do the reverse operation. No joy.

Tracing it through with the debugger it does what it is supposed to… right down to the SendMessage. Unfortunately nothing changes on the EditTable.

Is this something that is documented in an insert record or something, or is is Rev Guru head knowledge?

By the way, how do you quote inserts nice and neat like you did here? I don't see any buttons for stuff like that, and I have learned not to experiment with html tags with no way to edit after the fact.

Setting the 3rd parameter to a 1 instead of 0 selects the specified row too as had I guessed, if one needs to go the other direction. call sendMessage( hwnd, DTM_SELROW$, 1, Row -1 ) Thank you! </QUOTE> View this thread on the Works forum...
