on_click

Overview

The on_click event handler is called when the user clicks on a cell that would not normally have edit processing such as a read-only cell.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int on_click ( dword type, int row, int column ) { ... }

Parameters

type

A dword that specifies the type of click action.

row

An int that specifies the row of the cell clicked on.

column

An int that specifies the column of the cell clicked on.

Return Value

Returns an int. The return value is presently not examined by the application.

Remarks

The on_click event allows a script to process cell click actions that would normally be ignored. The type of click action gives information with respect to the click location.

  Definition   Bitwise   Description  
  Click Types           
    DV_CLICK_CELL_TYPE_MASK   0x0000000F   Mask for originating cell type  
  Cell States          
    DV_CLICK_READ_ONLY   0x00010000   Cell is in a read only state  
  Specific Type Bits           
    DV_CLICK_STATE_TRUE   0x01000000   Cell is “True” or “1” , if the cell type supports state such as a checkbox  

 

Not all click are processed through this event.

Example

In this example, the click is intercepted and ASCII style check boxes are applied in groups. The groups are defined as a toggle list and a series of check groups (one check resets the remainder in a group like a radio button).

The terms CHECK_TOGGLE, CHECK_LIST_A, CHECK_ALL_REPORTS and CHECK_SIGNIFICANT are defined as string literals containing a series of cell names separated by spaces. The lists are first used to determine if the incoming cell is applicable and then either toggles or operates like a radio button group in a dialog.
