Matthias,
A possible solution is to add an EditFieldText handler inside the datagrid
group script.
*command* EditFieldText pTheFieldEditor, pTheIndex, pTheCol
*end* EditFieldText
This message is invoked by the datagrid table prior to create the field
editor allowing to edit the cell.
Three parameters are passed :
- the field editor reference: pTheFieldEditor
- the index of the row: pTheIndex
- the key (the column name): pTheCol
The trick consist to test the name of the column the user is trying to edit
(for example col3 of the datagrid) :
*if* (pTheCol is "Col3") *then*
and then get the content of the cell of another column by using the
GetDataOfIndex
function:
*put* GetDataOfIndex(pTheIndex, "Col2") into tTheValueToTest
If you want to allow the edition of the cell, then give a chance to the
EditFieldText to reach the datagrid library
pass EditFieldText
if not, then simply not send it
And don't forget to pass the command for others columns of the datagrid.
Here is a final handler applying the recipe for a "col3" based of the
content of "col2". If the cell contains "yes" in col2 then the user is
allowed to edit the content of the cell in col3, if not the cell remains
locked. You can change "yes" for any value or change the test for checking
if the cel in "col2"l is empty or not
*command* EditFieldText pTheFieldEditor, pTheIndex, pTheCol
*if* (pTheCol is "Col3")
*then** put* GetDataOfIndex(pTheIndex, "Col2") into tTheValueToTest
*if* (tTheValueToTest is "yes")
*then** pass* EditFieldText
*end*
*if*
* else** pass* EditFieldText
*end*
*if**end* EditFieldText
