Hi Alex, If it were only that simple... As I said earlier, the change event is not fired (in the ADG) when a user arrows off the header. If I am tracing the movement of the selected cell around the ADG, I miss a cell when the user arrows up too far, i.e. to the header, and then arrows down. Give the case below to see what I mean (xml file at http://www.talonrisk.com/apps/test/data.xml ).
Should the change event be fired here? Is this a bug? If not, is there an event that IS fired in this case?
