I don't really consider it an appearance issue. I think the behavior is incorrect. The cells should either be typed into directly once it becomes the ActiveCell or the user should double-click something on the pallet to fill the ActiveCell. The "something" is actually another ListBox with rows of information that is commonly used multiple times within multiple documents. When a row is double-clicked, the information in the pallet is to pop into the ActiveCell. You should be able to continue editing regardless of whether the pallet window is open or not. It's a floating window, not a modal window--similar to a pallet in Quark, Photoshop, etc. Thanks for the suggestions. I tried them as well as a couple other ideas I had, but nothing worked. Got tired of trying to hack it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of CV Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 12:34 PM To: Getting Started Subject: Re: Keeping editable cell selected in ListBox with anotherwindowontop On Feb 14, 2006, at 9:30 PM, RBNUBE wrote: > It appears to be a Mac/PC thing.

Perhaps it warrants a feedback report. As for getting the same behavior on Windows, I suspect that you could draw the "edit" image into CellBackGround paint as you open the floating window. Isn't it essentially an appearance issue at this point, since you are not able to actually continue the edit until the floating window closes? Alternately you might experiment with calling Window1.EditCell (RowBeingEdited, ColumnBeingEdited) from appropriate events in Window 2. You would probably need to set a boolean property IsOpening, because I think you would have to call from Window2's Activate/ Deactivate events and perhaps the MouseDown event also and, say, the Action events of any buttons on Window2 in order to hold the EditCell.
