Support	How to use xEditWindow Posted: Friday, August 27, 2004 11:00 AM (EST) This works here for us and others.  It might help if you were to share with us the lines of code that shows what you've tried. APL2000 Support
davin.church	How to use xEditWindow Posted: Friday, August 27, 2004 12:17 PM (EST) Ok, but I'm going to have to spend some time simplifying it out of a larger application first.  I was hoping that there would be a common fax paux someone could point me to that would save me a bunch of time (that I don't really have).
Support	How to use xEditWindow Posted: Friday, August 27, 2004 12:32 PM (EST) On a few occassions, I've mistakenly set the arguments to the xEditWindow property to {handle} {rows} {cols} when it's expecting {rows} {cols} {handle}.  Possible you've made the same mistake? APL2000 Support
davin.church	How to use xEditWindow Posted: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 3:11 AM (EST) Thanks, but I seem to have the order correct in this case.  I don't suppose you can think of any other hints for me, can you?   There may also be a problem trying to use it as a default for rows and/or columns, but I'm working on getting a single-cell version running before I can test that properly.  (I'm still trying to get around to building a trivial test case so I can figure out what I'm doing wrong.)
brent.hildebrand	How to use xEditWindow Posted: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 11:32 AM (EST) Setup your grid, set the handle for the control you want to use as the xEditWindow, then, what happens when you double click on the cell? Or use the XEditStart method on the cell? Nothing? Or do you see the control with the handle that you have set as the xEditWindow? I've used the xEditWindow to use another processes window, in my case, a mapping program with a handle to the map, in the grid, and had maps appear as part of my program. That is, until map program eventually crashed. <g> OK - so it was not intended for that use, xEditWindow that is. It was fun to try...
davin.church	How to use xEditWindow Posted: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 12:42 PM (EST) Hey - that's a pretty cute thing to do with it, Brent.  In my case, though, I'm just trying to use an ordinary Edit box (so I can get its events).  The Edit box is set to appear (and does) on a different area of the screen from the test cell.  But when I go to edit the cell, the cell edits normally like I'd never set EditWindow and ignores my Edit box completely.  I've tried making the extra control both a child and a sibling of the grid object.
brent.hildebrand	How to use xEditWindow Posted: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 1:01 PM (EST) It would be good then to see sample code. I have used Edit controls and TimeDate controls, and Combo, and they appear in the cell, and the events are appropriate for those controls. One difference is that I am using Windows XP, not 98. One thing I do notice, if I close a form with xEditWindow set, and then reopen it, it does not work. The form, and edit control need to be rebuilt.
davin.church	How to use xEditWindow Posted: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 2:06 PM (EST) Never mind...  I found my stupid mistake.  EditWindow is page-specific and I defined it on the wrong page (tab).  <sigh>   Thanks for all the help, folks!
