Is there a standard way to delete a row in the AccuTerm GUI grid?

[Joe G]

I'm trying to write a utility using the Accuterm GUI and one of the things that my users might need to do is delete a row from the grid.  It seems like it should already be part of the interface with a right click or something but I can't find anything on it or any examples on how to do it.

I've tried defining one of the grid columns as s button and then putting delete text in it but I must be doing something wrong because I can't get a button to show up. Still, I was able to use the click event to delete the row but it feels non standard and takes up a column.  I would think you could have a row n

Anyone have any information on how to best go about it?

I tried to use a label+button column type in the grid along with a popup menu but I can't figure out how the popup menus work. I can't find any examples anywhere either.  Anyone know of any?  I tried ATGUISHOW passing the menu id in but as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything.

No, there isn't a standard way to delete a row in AccuTerm GUI.

A common UI convention is to have a button or icon on the row, where the user clicks it to delete the row. Another is to use a popup context menu. I've used both.

YouTube has some videos regarding AccuTerm GUI grids:

Joe - take a look at the sample program 'GRID.TUTOR'. It uses a popup menu on right-click to allow you to delete a row from a grid.

Thanks, Pete

Thanks for the help Rex and Pete.  I ended up using the button with the ellipsis.  I thought it didn't work because I couldn't see it. The cell has to have the focus for it to show up. Once I figured that out I was able to use it.  I think I had a really old version of the GRID.TUTOR. I updated our AccuTerm programs and I can see the popup examples now.

Thanks Again!
