AllowLVEdits Version 2.2

[Max]

COOL, netmaestro, thanks!

But, some of your fans we live in (the old, old) Europe, and we use comma as decimal mark.

It is possible to add DecimalMask(char) function?

Thanks , again.

OK, fair enough. The command is added, libraries and help are updated. Also, the edit strings are centered for the entry process, which seems a bit more intuitive. Download link is in first post.

I hate to bother you, but the download is not working again?

Download link appears to be broken.

I apologize for this, my server survived a serious attack last week and had to be restored from my backup drive. For some reason I don't fully understand, a couple of items were not properly backed up. They are:

- AllowLVEdits v2 (v1 is still there)
- PointOut
- JASET (just another stupid egg timer)

I am going to rewrite these programs and they will be available again, although if someone has a copy of JASET I'd appreciate their sending it to me as I've lost the graphics for it. AllowLVEdits is quite popular so I'll do it first.

Sorry for your loss. I hope you can get things back to normal again soon.
We all really appreciate your effort and help in this forum.

@netmaestro

Were you ever able to get Version 2 back? The link above still doesn't work.

50+ people downloaded the package, which included full sourcecode. I could rewrite the thing, but if someone would just email me the zip they downloaded, I can put it back on my server and it'll be available again to everyone without my having to start from scratch. Could somebody *please* do that? networkmaestro [at] rogers.com

Installer is back available again, link in first post will work. Thanks to Ken S. for emailing me the lost file.

Screenshot available?

I tried to change the ListIconGadgets header background color using
gnozals
PureCOLOR_SetColumnHeaderColor()
command. It changes the color correctly, but then AllowLVEdits will not allow any data to be entered. The field to be edited selects properly, but will not accept data.

I appreciate that you have already integrated the Enter and Esc keys in this. Makes it much more usable.

Any way to have this enable the next column for editing after the Enter key is pressed?

For example, right click on row 3, column 1, enter a number and press enter. The next column is automatically "right clicked" and ready for data entry. If no column to the right, then enable the leftmost column of the next row.

That seems useful to me.

Library is released for 4.10, link added to first post.

4.02 version is still there until 4.10 goes release.

Links broken?

[netmaestro]

Apologies for the broken link. I don't release libraries in compiled form anymore and so the link is moot anyway. First post is updated with the .PBI code and a useful test program (I use it all the time, it's quite handy).

Looking over the code, if I were writing this today I'd lose the globals and go with structured memory whose pointer is passed to the procedures. But iirc the globals don't hurt anything as a user can't edit two listicons at once anyway. You can just use StartEditing() and StopEditing() to move from one listicon to another and there is no conflict. Again though, four years wiser, I would do it differently.
