In my case, the column is marked Enterable in the property list, and editing items works. What doesn’t work is calling EDIT ITEM to place the user in editing mode. In my case I want to add an item to the end of the list, scroll to it, and start editing (cursor is active, user just has to type). I suspect it is related to calling EDIT ITEM in the same “run loop” when the row is added, but the scroll works, and 4D makes it too obnoxious to run code “later” to bother trying. I did try wrapping EDIT ITEM in a method so I could use CALL FORM, but it didn’t change anything; maybe CALL FORM does not actually queue the message to run “later” in the case where it is being called from the form to run something on. SET TIMER is too annoying to use in all but the most necessary cases, and an extra click from the user wasn’t necessary enough.
