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.
