VBA: Detecting grid item selection

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Pablito 225

Hi:

I'm new to GP developement and a little rusty with VBA. I wish to add a lookup button to an existing GP Window which would display the existing (standard) Divisions Window. Once the user makes a selection (Code field), the selected value is assigned to the linked field.

I found this great blog post by Mariano Gomez which explains the process very well. Though I opted not to use pass-through Dexterity and stuck with straight VBA (wasn't really sure how to figure out the right Dexterity call), I got things working.

My problem is around the Select button handler...sort of. Though it works fine, it doesn't handle the user interacting with the grid directly and simply double-clicking the desired item or navigating with the arrow keys and hitting enter to make the selection.

Looking at the DivisionsDetail grid VBA event handlers available, there doesn't appear to be anything suitable for the task. 

Many thanks!

Pab

    I thought I'd follow up for the archive should anyone come across this later.

    I didn't manage to find a way to capture the double-click or navigate-enter events so I opted to implement my own custom VBA form listing out the available Divisions in a listbox for the user to pick. This was the only way I could find to give me the control I wanted to avoid the user falling through a crack.
