EDIT INPLACE from GRID

[Gilbert Vaillancourt]

Hi All,

I need to automatically enter the edit mode of a field when I insert a new element to my grid, without having the user to DBLCLICK on the new element. Is there a way I can do this.

I tried to use _GridInplaceEdit(), but I always get an error when calling the function.

Regards

Gilbert

Thanks Grigory,

It solved my first problem.

But I have more restrictions to solve.

In the same grid I also need to disable editing of the first column.

I have tried using :

     INPLACE { {}, {"TEXTBOX", "CHARACTER"}, {"TEXTBOX", "CHARACTER", "999-9999"} }

but it does'nt change anything. The first column still editable

Regards

Gilbert
