I believe the default behavior is for a field to be selected when clicked.
A row cannot be selected. However, someone sent me code that can do this.
I've never tested this code, so you'll have to let me know if it works. The
downside is that I don't think it will look that great on a IIIc.
On tblEnterEvent, do this:
// highlight entire row
TablePtr tbl = (TablePtr)eP->data.tblEnter.pTable;
RectangleType r;
TblGetItemBounds(tbl, eP->data.tblEnter.row, 1, &r);
Word sExtent = r.extent.x;
TblGetItemBounds(tbl, eP->data.tblEnter.row, 0, &r);
r.extent.x += sExtent;
WinInvertRectangle(&r, 1);
Then when you want to unhighlight the row (i.e. on frmClose or whatever)
WinInvertRectangle(&r, 1);
If I missed your point, which I may have, perhaps the problem is that you
should be using a customTableItem to display your information. (Instead of
a textTableItem) If the text is just being displayed, you should have no
problems with this.
