Thanks Mark, but as usual, the idea would not leave me alone, and kept drilling
into my subconscious so I made a way to do it.
on mouseDown pButtonNum
if pButtonNum <> 3 then pass mouseDown
put getClickedColumn(the long id of me) into tClickedColumn
end mouseDown
function getClickedColumn pDGID
put the mouseControl into tTargetNum
put the name of tTargetNum into tTargetName
put the left of pDGID into tLeftMargin
put item 1 of pDGID mouseLoc into tMouseClick
put (tMouseClick) - tLeftMargin into tColumnClick
put the dgProp ["column widths"] of pDGID into tColumnRightEdges
put the dgHscroll of pDGID into tHscroll
subtract tHscroll from item 1 of tColumnRightEdges
-- shift all column rights left by hscroll
repeat with i = 1 to the number of items of tColumnRightEdges
add item i-1 of tColumnRightEdges to item i of tColumnRightEdges
end repeat
-- find which column the mouse was clicked in
repeat with i = 1 to the number of items of tColumnRightEdges
if item i of tColumnRightEdges > tColumnClick then exit repeat
end repeat
put the dgProp ["columns"] of pDGID into tColumnNames
put line i of tColumnNames into tClickedColumn
return tClickedColumn
end getClickedColumn
