Re: Editing object arrays in dynamically built columns
Hey All, Never mind! I found it. Need to make sure that the listbox property Entry->Focusable is clicked. Change the “Focusable” property in design and now the column is editable. Ugggh!

Editing object arrays in dynamically built columns
Hey All, Using 4D v15r2 standalone Macintosh (Yes I have a license one 4D View (4D View Pro is native 4D behavior)), read the docs, reviewed any and all examples of listbox edit/enterable in Nabble... I am using Object Arrays in list boxes (single selection mode) dynamically built from a LB with zero columns. Currently I am just playing with the examples in the docs under the section “Using object arrays in columns (4D View Pro)”. Just placing the listbox on a form and dynamically building them using the 4D sample code examples and displays correctly. The docs say that based upon the valueType 4D uses various default widgets (probably where 4D View Pro comes in) i.e., "text" is displayed as a text input widget, a "boolean" as a check box, and so on. The UI part appears to work nicely. As for actual editing... The drop downs, popups, Boolean are changeable in the Column (although I have yet to work on code to make th changes back to the array). But, and this is where I am looking for help, text and numeric values are not editable. I have tried setting the column to be editable using OBJECT SET ENTERABLE and EDIT ITEM and Option click, Option+. For example: EDIT ITEM(colVar_p->;row) But neither seems to work. I know the column pointer ‘colVar_p‘ is correct because if I use this code OBJECT SET VISIBLE(colVar_p->;False) It is in fact hidden. And the variable ‘row’ has the correct cell number. In fact I have added another column that is just an array of text values and I cannot change it into an edit mode either? So is there something about having an object array in a listbox...? So I am missing something? Is there a command I need to set as I am building it dynamically? Does anyone else have any experience working with object arrays in list boxes? Any tips or tricks necessary? And code examples specific to handling object arrays in columns in list boxes?
