Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

Found an interesting behavior.. I was trying to set up a custom control that keeps track of the current row and column and put the script in the group, but rawkeyup or rawkeydown messages never reach the group. I'm wondering if its because the message is sent to the figmentary popup field rather

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

Hi Mike, Thanks! I put the script in the table field itself with no luck. But when I moved it to the card script, it works! Great! I never would have come up with that in a million years. This list is fantastic. Oh, and I just re-named the table field to "Opera" ;-) Tim Selander Tokyo,

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

For some reason I now want to name a table field "Opera." On Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 10:09 AM, dunbarx via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > The extra field is what I once called a "phantom" field, ephemeral and > elusive. But it does exist: > > In a table field script: > > on

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

The extra field is what I once called a "phantom" field, ephemeral and elusive. But it does exist: In a table field script: on mouseEnter put the number of flds end mouseEnter If you move around the table field without a selection, you get 1, If you click on a "cell" to "select" it, and

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

Hmm. There is a potential issue that would need to be worked around. The field name is the same whether one has a single table field or 12. Perhaps watching focus changes? I'm back to thinking there is a property that tracks which field to update on close of the editing overlay. For a single

the mouseControl will give you the control number. If you get the long id of control (word 2 of the mouseControl) you will have the clicked object. Courtesy Trevor Devore. Bob S > On Feb 14, 2018, at 08:24 , dunbarx via use-livecode > wrote: > > You know, I

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

a table field ISN'T a single field, its a field bundled with an extra "editing" field that pops up as an overlay. I figured there had to be a way to pass the cell data back to the field proper, and poked around till I found out that the transfer mechanism is the name of the overlay field. I was

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

You know, I have given advice many times to people trying to find the selected field in a DG. The target is always of the form, for example, "field Col 3 0005". But how does the focussedObject return similar data in a table field? The fact that is does is marvelous indeed, but I never would have

Try this... on rawkeyup pkey send "getline" to me in 10 millisec pass rawkeyup end rawkeyup command getline put the short name of the focusedobject end getline This gives you the name of the editing field that appears for each cell in the form of: revCell-2,2 Parse that and voila,

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

You know, this proved more of a problem than I thought. Richmond, the issue is with tab and return keyPresses, not mouse clicks. Anyway, given a table field 1 and another field 2, this works if you tab or return in the table field: on rawKeyUp tKey put the selectedLoc && the selectedChunk

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

Hey-Ho . . . I tried this script in the tableField: on mouseDown put the selectedLine of me end mouseDown and it returned the line where I clicked. Richmond. On 14/2/2018 3:06 pm, Tim Selander via use-livecode wrote: Hi, Editing a table field (not datagrid) and need to track the number
