Rollover on Table Column

[Brian McMurray]

Hopefully this is a simple one for once as I'm having a brain cramp and can't remember this...

When displaying a table column that I allow the users to click - is there a way to create a rollover effect to highlight which one they are on?  I used your previous suggestions to get the column working great with click but I can't seem to figure out how to do a "rollover" or see what  "rollover" looks like.  What are my options for doing this with the data element TYPE> table column with the "auto select" to allow people to click on it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

-Brian

Brian,

In your Data Element, just to the right of "Auto Select" choose the "On Enter" option.

Then in the "Selection" row, make it "opaque" and choose a colour for the rollover.

Finally, in your "On Data" event make the first pop-up selection something to do with a mouse click/down/up.

These three together allow the rollover to appear but the user choice awaits a mouse click.

I remember Gil advised against using the rollover, but I've found it to be stable enough (mustn't tempt fate that way!).

Rollover (auto select - enter) is fine. The issue I find is a way to do BOTH a rollover effect (cell selects on mouse in) AND stays selected on click. You can do tricks with a number of commands, but no simple solution that I have found... anyone else? For me, I would want:

• Cells highligh when rolled over
• Cells highlight when clicked and stay highlighted
• other cells highlight when rolled over and then it goes back to the selcted cell when mouse leave.

This can all be done with a number of commands of mouse in/out... but it can be a bit lengthy.

Gil and Denis,

Thank you so much!   Your solutions worked perfectly - I was forgetting to set the selection color.  This got it going for me - thanks so much guys!
