Datagrids - Highlight one column cell?

[Scoperzor]

Hi all

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to highlight only one column cell at a time in a datagrid, rather than the default entire row selection. I would like the user to be able to select a single cell from a 4x5 grid, and for that cell to be highlighted. Can this be done?

Thanks.

Datagrids. Well,

Code: Select all

send "editcell col 1,2" to grp 1

does not stick. Though it hilites the cell momentarily. Maybe there is a property that must be set?

And:

Code: Select all

select fld "col 1 0002"

selects a field, but that is sort of in edit mode, not run mode.

Klaus? Trevor?

The "hilite color" is a DG property that refers to the row; you cannot use it to highlight an individual cell.

You can, however, script the FillinData to set "the opaque" of the cell to true and "the bgColor" to your desired highlight color.
You can do this conditionally (for the correct row and column) so only the chosen cell is highlighted.
