How to get the position of the selected column in XBrowse?

EMG

Look at this :

oBrw:nColSel
o:nCreationOrder



FOR i := 2 TO LEN( oBrw:aCols)
oCol := oBrw:aCols[ i ]
oCol:nEditType := EDIT_GET
oCol:bOnPostEdit := {|o, v, n| iif( (n != VK_ESCAPE .AND. oBrw:nColSel >2), (dbselectarea("EQUIP"),DBRLOCK(), FieldPut( o:nCreationOrder-1, v ), DBRUNLOCK() ), ) }
oCol:bLClickHeader := {|r,c,f,o| (DEXO(o:nCreationOrder),oBrw:refresh()) }

o:nCreationOrder

Sorry, nColSel is the position from the first visible column and nCreationOrder is the creation order of the column not its position. I need the real physical position of the selected column counted from the first column.

Do you mean

Code: Select all  Expand view

o:nAtcol(y)

nAtCol doesn't exist in XBrowse.

Sorry, Jack, nCreationOrder seems to be what I was looking for, thank you.

I spoke too fast. What I really need is to know the position of the currently selected column starting from the first column. nCreationOrder is a sort of column id. nPos is the position starting from the first visible column not from the first column.

Any help?

HI Enrico.
oCol: = oBrw: SelectedCol ()
It seem oCol: nCreationOrder () returns the correct position of a column only when the columns keep their original order of creation, but not when they are swapped or hidden.

I have checked the class and could not find the method or function you want.

Ok, thank you. I've checked the class myself and found nothing either. Let's wait for Rao final word.

if you want to know the current position of the selected col in the array oBrw:aCols:

Code: Select all  Expand view

oSelectedCol := oBrw:SelectedCol()
nAt := AScan( oBrw:aCols, { |o| o:nCreationOrder == oSelectedCol:nCreationOrder } )
 

nAt is the position of the selected column object in the array oBrw:aCols.

The above approach can be used to find the ordinal position of any column object (selected column or not) in the array oBrw:aCols.

This is the simplest way of finding the position of "selected column" in the array oBrw:aCols

Code: Select all  Expand view

nAt := oBrw:aDisplay[ oBrw:nColSel ]
 

Now, oBrw:aCols[ nAt ] is the selected column object.

But I am curious to know what is the use of this information in an application?

Thank you Rao.

Essentially, nothing. Sorry, but the application is not mine and it's evolving.

Excuse me Enrico. I'm a bit confused.
What you want to know is the position of the currently selected column, starting from column number 1, not from oBrw: display, but from column number 1 of the total number of columns that make up the browser structure?

Disculpa Enrico. Estoy un poco confundido.
Lo que deseas saber es la posición de la columna actualmente seleccionada, comenzando desde la columna número 1, no desde oBrw:display, sino desde la columna número 1 del número total de columnas que componen la estructura del navegador?

Probably the question is academic now... I would want to know the physical position of the currently selected column starting from the first column of the browse, not from the first visible column.
