ArrayCtrl: Edit doesn't like Option [message #29516] Mon, 25 October 2010 17:15 Go to next message

Let me start by saying that this is the first time I used ArrayCtrl. I tried it before, but it seemed overkill and I have been using ColumnList up until now and it served my needs quite well.

But now I need it and I'm having a problem with it. I have some columns with Edit(someEditor). Like EditString. Works fine. But when adding Ctrls<Option> to some other columns, Edit no longer works for the previous ones. Probably related to the way the embedded Option gets focused. It had huge troubles with Option and OptionTree and was wondering if there is a solution for this without having to go through all that trouble again.

Problem solved!

Thank you very much, SenderGhost!

The CreateOption method is key from this post: link

i've got another problem, which is similar to yours, so i just reuse your thread Smile

problem: ArrayCtrl has got Option's as Editors, and some EditInt's.. everytime changes are made, i need to forward them in a custim action..(OnAction)


ArrayCtrl ac;
...
Ctrl* p = new Option();
p->WhenAction = THISBACK(OnAction);
SetCtrl(k, 1, p);
++k;
...
p = new EditInt();
p->WhenAction = THISBACK(OnAction);
ac.SetCtrl(k, 1, p);
...
void MyClass::OnAction()
{
   DoWork(ac.Get(0), ac.Get(1));
}


this works fine for EditInt, because the cursor is set properly, when EditInt is 'selected' to be edited, because EditField has SetFocus somewhere in it.. with Option, no cursor is set, when i cklick it, so the OnAction fails with an ASSERT.

when i manually select the row, clicking on the right remaining spot, that belongs to arrayctrl, and then, on the Option, it works..

any help, how to make Option be Focus aware? i dont like to mess with the upp code.. maybe i'm doing sth wrong ..

You could use GridCtrl Wink it moves cursor always. However if you prefer ArrayCtrl just make your own control that derives from ArrayCtrl and override ChildGotFocus() method. In this method place the cursor in the correct location (row). This method is called before control's action callback so everything should work.

as far as i could see, GetChilfFocus is used in ArrayCtrl as well, the problem is, that Option does not aquire focus Smile, there is no SetFocus() in Pusher..

Sorry. I made a mistake Smile I meant overriding void ChildMouseEvent(Ctrl *child, int event, Point p, int zdelta, dword keyflags). I use this method in GridCtrl to move cursor if embedded control is clicked and it works perfectly.

thanks a lot. i'll give it a try..

wouldn't it be better to also implement this for ArrayCtrl?

Well, moving cursor is IMO the correct way to deal with embedded controls and most of grids works this way otherwise you break consistency in control's callbacks. On the other hand Mirek has different opinion here. If I remember correctly he wanted to be able to type the text in one row without loosing focus by clicking option/button/droplist in another row or the same row but in another column. Cursor is moved only if you click on edit control. Actually I don't know in which scenario this can be useful Smile.

i think the same..
clicking on a Option switch means changing a data set in a row, which then needs to be updated to database, i.e..
so maybe he still can be convinced of it.

meanwhile, i might try the GridCtrl, if it offers the same possibilities..

do you have any code already as a fix for ArrayCtrl?
i mean a ChildMouseEvent(Ctrl *child, int event, Point p, int zdelta, dword keyflags) based one, just to have a base for mirek to talk about

EDIT:
ok, i stiched an add to ArrayCtrl, in a similar manner like you did in GridCtrl, now it's up on Mirek to decide if this goes well..thankyou for yor support

ArrayCtrl.h:38
	virtual void ChildMouseEvent(Ctrl *child, int event, Point p, int zdelta, dword keyflags);


ArrayCtrl.cpp:713
void ArrayCtrl::ChildMouseEvent(Ctrl *child, int event, Point p, int zdelta, dword keyflags)
{
	if(child != GetFocusCtrl())
	{
		if(event == LEFTDOWN || event == RIGHTDOWN || event == MOUSEWHEEL)
		{
			Point p = FindCellCtrl(child);
			if(!IsNull(p))
			{
				if(nocursor)
					ScrollInto(p.y);
				else
					SetCursor(p.y);
			}
		}
	}
	Ctrl::ChildMouseEvent(child, event, p, zdelta, keyflags);
}

there is a
Pusher::ClickFocus();

function, that enables Option and others to have SetFocus functionality, so ArrayCtrl changes Cursor right.

but the general question as stated above remains..

IMO, you might not want to move focus in ArrayCtrl for the same reason you might not want to move it in general dialog. (Well, as unodgs stated, it always seemed illogical to me. I really dislike those focus rectangles on buttons, options and switches Smile

Also, note there is even a global setting, call Ctrl::ClickFocus(true) and you are done...

Hello.

While reading uppdev sources, I found ArrayOption example.

I think, it could be used here, like follows:
Toggle Spoiler
