Thank you all for the many good ideas to choose from... I ended up using
Veronica's suggestion about modifying the attributes of the fields during
the load table callback function and it does exactly what I was hoping, make
the text in the table non-editable. Here is the code frag that solved my
problem for anyone else who might be interested. Thanks again, Jeff.
static Err MyTableLoadDataFuncType(void *tableP,
Int16 row,
Int16 column,
Boolean editable,
MemHandle *dataH,
Int16 *dataOffset,
Int16 *dataSize,
FieldPtr fld)
{
Boolean temp;
FieldAttrPtr ptrFieldAttr;
temp = editable; // for debug
if(row < TABLEROWS)
{
FldGetAttributes(fld, ptrFieldAttr);
ptrFieldAttr->editable = 0;
ptrFieldAttr->underlined = noUnderline;
FldSetAttributes(fld, ptrFieldAttr);
*dataH = hdlTableText[row];
*dataOffset = 0;
*dataSize = 128;
}
return false;
}
