Hmm, but if you look back to Curry’s last post he claims regarding table fields, not data grids :
>> Working out which cell has been clicked: Sorry, that's not accurate either. >> Yes, we do have that! Also for a long time. Curry is a very reliable and valued source of LC knowledge. So, have we all missed a clever and simple, non convoluted method of telling which cell in a scrollable, non editable table field has been clicked? Even if that cell is empty. Something as simple as: put the dgIndex of the target into theIndexThatWasClickedOn ? Sean Cole Pi > On 30 Mar 2020, at 07:32, J.
