I was actually just testing this. It is all so simple when you see how it's done :)
When I use 'list' as datatype in a column, it references wx.grid.GridCellChoiceEditor. I guess I have to create a new editor based on dDropDownList to get it working within my grid. Whenever a cell gets focus in the grid, it enters edit mode automatically. This is a problem for me, as my DateTimeCellEditor is a pop-up dialog box. I don't know how I can turn off or override this. There might be a bug (or feature) in the dGrid class; When the grid is repopulated, it doesn't sort the dataset, but the column still looks sorted (has the arrow indicating sorted). -Simen -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Leafe Sent: 19. juni 2006 14:06 To: Dabo Users list Subject: Re: [dabo-users] biz objects, relations and grids On Jun 12, 2006, at 6:50 AM, Simen Haugen wrote: > This is what I'm looking for, yes.

Did you see the wiki page I created to answer this? <http://dabodev.com/wiki/HowToPopulateAndUseListControls> Let me know if that page helps, or if you still have questions. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
