Grid Column number

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Sebastián Tirelli 290

I have a Grid dynamically. The rows and columns are added, whose labels are dynamically modified in the creation.

Is there any way of knowing the column number from a particular cell in a Grid? Or the column name? According to the cell I am positioned.

Example. Do I have a way of knowing I am in the position Row 3 Column 4 of a Grid?

With the DS I can get the row number but I can't still get column number.

Thanks.

    I have found that using the this.dataField in all my control events I can get the column table field name.

    info(strfmt("%1", fieldid2name(tablenum(Table), this.dataField())));

    If someone has another idea, please share.

    You can retrieve the current control with element.selectedControl(). "Element" is the formRun handle.

    Check the event selectControl in the form. You get as a parameter the FormControl.

    For my need I just pass the control to a global variable and then use that with a button.

    Something like this.

    public boolean selectControl(FormControl _control)
    {
        boolean ret;
        ;
        ret = super(_control);

        if(ret)
        {
            if(_control)
            {
                if(Grid.contains(_control))
                {
                    formControlId= _control.id();
                }
            }
        }

        return ret;
    }

    So I make sure its a control inside my Grid.

    Then with the Id retrieved I can use formControl = element.control(formControlId); in any other place.

    Thanks a lot.
