Table control, Unkillable Edit Position returns to cell 0,0

[_Y_]

I have a problem with Table control. All what I need:

Select one cell in the table (no multiple selection, no zero selection, no editing).

Selection can be limited catching "mouse up" event then reducing selection size. This is probably inventing a wheel but I cannot find anything better. It is Monday after all

But the main problem is unkillable EditPosition. This is simple test VI. Despite setting EditPos to (-2,-2), the result is always (0,0). And the position is indicated in Front Panel (but cannot be edited). What is my mistake?

Thank you

Look at the help file.  No where does it say that -2 is a valid entry.  It will only return -2 if no edit is being made.

Edit Position Property

Name	Description
Row	The row of the current text entry. Possible values are 0…n, where n is the total number of rows - 1.
Column	The column of the current text entry. Possible values are 0…m, where m is the total number of columns - 1. Enter –1 to select the column header.

Thank you aputman for reply. It does not solve the problem but shows my mistake.

I have found solution for my  problem

Select one cell in a Table (no multiple selection, no zero selection, no editing).

It works for both Table control and Table indicator. Not so obvious or elegant but it works:

Hi _Y_, your solution doesn't quite work for me because I need the table to be scrollable which is disabled when the control is disabled.  However, it led me to a solution to capturing the cell clicked without invoking an edit.  Through testing I noticed that the cell edit is activated on Mouse Down.  So, I created an Event Case via Mouse Down? to handle and discard the Mouse Down event.  This kept the Table Control from activating the edit on the cell clicked.  Like you, I then used the Mouse Up event to perform my operations on the cell and the information contained within it.  Thanks for the breadcrumbs!
