I will do some changes to support a installation of a libary.
(e.g. disable installer / no program directory needed)

>> no program directory needed
somebody have 2 or more PB installations. A pathrequester is required.
Only init on the pb-directory is usefull

I meen "...\PureBasic\Egrid\". You can install it as subdirectories direct in "...\PureBasic\" with "%Purebasic%". The pathrequester contains the current PureBasic path and you can change it if needed.

I was having a look at your setup creator Thorsten; it looks excellent.

For installings libs; will it happily place individual files in the various Purebasic subfolders; subsystems and the like?

I've still tried it and it works. You must copy all files and subdirectories in a source directory (like in the ZIP). The problem is the uninstaller, which will be copied by default in the PureBasic folder. So I will include a new option to remove the uninstaller from the setup file.

Use the command

Code: Select all

egrid_SelectCell(gadgetnum, columnindex, row, editingcell)

with the parameter 'editingcell' = 1 if you want to go directly into 'edit' mode.

I'm currently adding button type cells at the moment and so hope for an update later tonight.

Absolutely. No problem at all. You can have as many different icons as their are cells etc.

In the #egrid_NotifyCellType message in the CellCallback function you simply need to return different icon handles depending on which cell is being examined etc.

Thanks for your answer!!

Can you give a short example please to this registered user of your product?

At the minute I'm busy adding an extra celltype (command buttons) which is 70% done so a bit pushed for time at the moment.

The following is untested but should (

) fill an entire grid (so it is overkill!) with icons in such a way that consecutive cells alternate between two icons which you'll have to supply yourself. Set your icon handles icon1 and icon2 to global variables.

Code: Select all

 Case #egrid_NotifyCellType
    *cellinfo\celltype=#egrid_Icon
    If (*cellinfo\column+*cellinfo\row)&1 
      *cellinfo\param=icon1 ;Set to 0 for no icon.
    Else
      *cellinfo\param=icon2 ;Set to 0 for no icon.
    EndIf

Take care to replace the entire #egrid_NotifyCellType message handler with the above.

Great!!

One more question:

Can i 'hide' and then 'show' some cells?

I saw some egrid_MakeCellVisible(gadgetnum, columnindex, row)

Depends on what you mean?

The command egrid_MakeCellVisible() was introduced because of the fact that, through your CellCallback function, you can prevent the user selecting (by any means; keyboard, mouse clicks etc.) certain cells.

Imagine that you code your CellCallback function so that, when the user attempts to select cells in column 0, you instead move the focus onto the corresponding cell in column 1 (this is easy to do). Now this could result in column 0 remaining invisible if you first scroll the grid so that column 0 was not visible and then hit CTRL/HOME (for example).

To get around this, you can use the command egrid_MakeCellVisible() to make the cell in column 0 visible even though you move the focus to column 1 etc. It can be quite effective.

Other than redirecting cell selections etc. it is not really possible to hide cells.
