Ok, I found the example AddressBook but this really avoids the whole area of what the arrayctrl is meant to be able to do. There is no inplace editing, no droplists or colour buttons or any of the things that are touched on so briefly but tantalisingly in the documentation.

Does anyone have example code for the arrayctrl which appears in the documentation - the one with the little color boxes? I want to be able to display the colour attributed to each record and to change a value associated with it. Its not at all clear to me whether I implement everything myself or whether its possible to do it all with built in functionality.

cheers,

nick

Do I need to use the Gridctrl instead?

Hi,

this thread http://www.ultimatepp.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=234&a mp;start=0& deal with the color of the cell. There is even a working example that show how to use the Display class. Let us know if it is useful.

Yes thanks, with addition of

ink = paper = (Color)q;

In PaintBackground() and Paint() overrides, I can now make a Color value field display as a filled rect of that color Smile

Now I just need to work out how to edit a value - saw it somewhere....

There is the package ArrayCtrlEdit in reference.
