This is rough but sort of works... on selectionChanged set the itemDel to tab put word 2 of the selectedLine into tRow put word 2 of the selectedChunk into nChar put length(line 1 to tRow-1 of me) into tStart put char tStart+2 to nChar of me into tText put the number of items in tText into tCol put tRow&&tCol end selectionChanged

We are asking in reference to the table field, not DG. Finding the index in data grid is very easy indeed. In a table field, it so much as I was to understand. But apparently there is some magic I’ve missed somewhere and perhaps I’m the only one. Do you know what it is?

But I was interested in learning how to get the cell index of a table field when clicked as we are told it was solved a ‘long time’ ago. That makes it seem that it is general knowledge and I’m a dunce for not being aware of it (which is very possible). If you’ve got any pointers you know of that can steer me right I’d appreciate it. >> >> Sean Cole >> Pi Digital >> >> _______________________________________________ >> use-livecode mailing list >> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com >> Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: >> http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
