Added a user guide in .pdf format.

Update: have added a flag to the egrid_SelectCell() command which allows for the selection of cells from within code. The flag allows the cell to be selected as if it had been double-clicked etc. and the user can thus type directly into the cell (see the user guide).

Also, whilst the source code is still included, it has been reformatted to allow for the code to be tailbitten and made into a user library. The library is included along with the required residents file. See the user guide for installation instructions.

Finally, thanks to all those who passed on their suggestions etc.

Thanks, but all examples crash when closing the window [PageFault].
Tested with Win98SE.

That is strange. I've had no similar reports!

Does it also crash if instead of using the library files, you XincludeFile "egrid.pb" ?

Same for me using Win98SE.

XincludeFile "egrid.pb" then fails in egrid_CreateGrid() on the
AddElement line (about the fourth line)

Sorry TerryHough, my fault; I left the egrid_Init() function intact.

Would you mind downloading again (without installing the library files). I've adjusted the source code file so that it should run as an include file and have adjusted example 4 accordingly.

Thanks.

Now it runs, but still get a GPF when I close the window.

Thanks.

Without a Win 98 box it's going to be a difficult one to crack. I can't imagine what's causing it!

With TerryHough's help I have identified the problem re: Win 98 SE.

Have uploaded a fix directed at Win 98 SE users who might be able to test the new version.

If this doesn't work then I will need to add a command to the egrid function list as part of a more severe solution.

Thanks for any help.

Hi srod,
Congratulations for this Lib.
But I see one problem with the egrid_demo2.pb and similar with egrid_demo4.pb:

Procedure.l MyCellCallBack:

[ERROR] Invalid memory acces in line 140 (ProcedureReturn result)

My OS is Windows 2000 Professional.

No problem here.

Line 140 in demo 2 is a comment, and in example 4 is the line

Code: Select all

result = #True

Are you sure you're using up to date demo programs?

Got it.

Both demo 2 and demo 4 require the image file "test.bmp" to be within the same directory as the source code/executable.

Regards.

Hi srod,

This is very nice!

What is your position on having this used in a closed-source and commercial app?

Specifically: I would like to use this instead of a listicongadget approach I am currently using in a "creation" wizard associated with an app that will be sold next year. Do I have your permission to do so?

Thanks again.
