Enter Key action in the Table control

[Kaspar]

Hello,

     I have a Table control (Labview 2013 SP1)   and have made the following assumption....

1.) When I modify the text in a cell and press the "Enter/Return" key I will get a "table change" event

What is really happening is that the position in the cell moves down one row and I do not see a table change event. However when I modify a cell and use the "tab key" everything works that way I want it to. So is there a way to have the "Enter/Return" key function just like the "Tab Key" in a table control?

I am trying to avoid having to trap a "key down state" in the table and figure out what key way pressed and/or compare the old and new values to update the edit position.

Hello,

   I am getting a "Table change" event when I press the enter key, however the "Edit position" property node is set to (-2,-2) which is not the cell location that I edited

If you want the edited cell:

I'm not sure what else you're asking.

Check your LabVIEW Environment Options; the option 'End text entry with Enter key' is normally not checked.  This default behavior places a CR/LF in your control, rather than ending the entry.

Hello,

   I will check the box in the environemnts setting just to see how it works. However changing the environment settings will apply to everything I do and it will also not be part of the code for this specific project. Is there a way to programtically do this?

Hello,

  I decided not to use this option (if it worked) because it would affect every project and/or code that I worked on. This would be difficult to have others being able to work and/or support the code
