You could put your code in the action event of a timer and it would
then run after the event is finished. You would set the Mode of the
timer to 1 during the CellClick event.
I've been trying to clean up my programming styles (encapsulate, code
reuse, comment well, be clear about variable names, write functions
with clear purposes and not make them too long, etc.), but it's so
frustrating when the development environment forces you to write
unclear hacky code just to workaround an IDE kink.
But you point is taken, at least your idea works, which is good, but
it's frustrating to have to work at cross-purposes.
The nice thing about Visual Basic is that even though you have a
BASIC language thing and interpreted code, you pretty much have a
completely open-ended system to where if the IDE restricts you from
something, you can use the Windows API using Declares or write a C++
DLL to do what you want. In this instance, you'd simply send a
Windows message to the listbox forcing the selection to be made early
in the CelLClick code. (But Windows/VB draws the selection before the
event code anyway.)
With RB there isn't that flexability; perhaps it's a Mac problem that
you don't have these type of events to control objects. VB tends to
use Windows-standard controls, I don't kow, perhaps RB uses their own
and they aren't open to the Mac API sections.
It is generally not a good idea to interrupt the built in events in
many cases. This might be one.
See above. RB=closed system. VB=open system.
You can also use properties to set the flow of your code after the
event has finished.
What do you mean by that?
