Table action on enter key

[John]

Hi,

When editing a string cell in a table, is it possible to make the enter
key move to the next column rather than the nest row and remain in edit
mode?

Sorry, I should have said version 6.

Yes, you can do this fairly easily. All you have to do is catch the KEYPRESS event in the table's callback, and then change the active cell yourself, taking care to "swallow" the original event. The following code should do the trick:

case EVENT_KEYPRESS:
GetCtrlAttribute (panel, control, ATTR_TABLE_RUN_STATE, &state);
if (state == VAL_EDIT_STATE)
{
keyCode = GetKeyPressEventVirtualKey (eventData2);
if (keyCode == VAL_ENTER_VKEY)
{
GetActiveTableCell (panel, control, &cell);
GetNumTableColumns (panel, control, &numColumns);
if (cell.x < numColumns)
{
cell.x++;
SetActiveTableCell (panel, control, cell);
S
etCtrlAttribute (panel, control, ATTR_TABLE_RUN_STATE, VAL_EDIT_STATE);
}
return 1;
}
}
break;
