TABLE getting SELECT events when editing form entry field
October 29, 2018 02:20PM
I have an array based table and a super control with edit fields. I have no linked edit fields . i also have no edit fields in the table.
when i enter an edit field and exit from it a SELECT EVENT is issued on the table.

I don't want this and i don't know why it does it.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Hi,

do you really use EVENTS or just the built-in "Selecting a row of Tablexx" ? Events can be tailored to a single control as well as the built-in ones are restricted to work on the control with focus. So, if the focus is on an edit control there should be no way to fire a "selecting a row ..." event on the table control. Are you sure, it is a "Selecting a row of Tablexx" event which is fired?

Yes i am sure. I have used the debugger to confirm the sequence and I defined a trace in the table selection exit point.

it triggers when i select the row correctly. But, when i select an entry field and leave that field the select event on the table triggers/ this i don't understand and cant find any way to stop it.

Hi, this sounds very weird indeed. Is there any trtSelect.. process used somewhere in that supercontrol? That may trigger the table's process "Selecting a row .." if not propery defined.

i do have a button outside the superconrtrol that initiates a table refresh via a procedure. I have debugged the process and the command is only called after the table select occurs. I further, commented the procedure call and it still initiated the "SELECT EVENT" when the button is pressed

The supercontrol may fire the "selecting a row .." event. Have a look at the processes of the supercontrol, maybe the table control inherits a "selected" event? I'd try to "disassemble" the supercontrol and use the controls separately without the supercontrol.

Hi,

Could the tab order be the culprit?
If the table is in the tab order after the supercontrol it gets focus when the supercontrol is exited and perhaps then a row selection event occurs.

i have resolved the issue. I created some more edit fields and they did not have the problem. So, i just deleted the existing and rename the new and viola problem resolved. Somehow there must have been a previous link that the engine had kept a reference to.

Thanks for all the help
