I also cannot find any way to control the Insert / Overwrite modes. It seems strange that something like this cannot be controlled by software. I guess if anyone figures it out, they could become rich !!!
Thanks for trying anyway.

Is there a way to control the Insert / Overtype mode of the keyboard programmatically?

To Axolotl: Your first code does exactly what I need. Your second code is "better" but more than what I need. Thank you.

To all else: Thank you for your efforts. But I now have what I needed.

The problem with the last reply, is that it only works if you right-click on the gadget itself. I need to be able to right-click on an ITEM that is pulled down from the ComboBoxGadget. The IsCursorOnGadget function only looks at the boundaries of the gadget, not the pull down list.

Rob

The real problem is that right-clicking anywhere will trigger the event. I need it to trigger ONLY when an item in the ComboBoxGadget is right-clicked.

Hello Axolotl,

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I needed.

Rob

I hope someone can answer this. If I click on a ComboBoxGadget, its list will drop down so I can click on any item. That will trigger the #PB_EventType_Change event. However, I need to right-click on an item and I don't see a way of capturing that event.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob

I can hide or disable a Container gadget, but the controls in the container are not hidden nor disabled. Is there a way to hide/disable everything inside the container?

Tua: Thank you for your replies. It was very useful and got me started on the right road.

Shardik: Thank you for your example. This was very useful also.

Rashad: I am working with your code. It looks great !!! I am thinking of turning it into a Module, and separate it from the demo code. Once I do ...

I figured it out. It only works if you use #PB_ListIcon_FullRowSelect when you create the ListIconGadget.

I will look into the GridExModule.

Thank you,

Thanks for your reply.

GetGadgetState() only returns the row if you click on column 0. Else it returns -1.
But I read up on LVHITTESTINFO and learned that iSubItem returns the column and iItem returns the row.

I am trying to produce a gadget that behaves like a spreadsheet, where you can click on ...

If I display a ListIconGadget in a form, I can trap the events such as #PB_EventType_LeftClick. But how do I determine the column and row that was clicked?
Thank you,
Robert

Idle,

Thanks again.

Idle: Thank you for the library. I cannot find documentation on how to use it, routine names, parameters, etc. Where can I find it?

Thanks,
