Edit cell in basic table field

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Bob is probably right about the fact that you may run out of functional power with a table field. But I use them whenever I can, since they are much simpler and easier to manage.


A phantom field is indeed created when you double-click on a "cell". Put this in the card script:



on selectionchanged
   put the name of the last field
end selectionchanged


Double click, and you can see that field. This may give you a pathway to fooling around with the table field workings.

Subject: Edit cell in basic table field


If I check "basic table object" in the field property inspector, and  
check "Edit cell," clicking on the table field causes a small  
unlocked field to be created at the cell's location, which on tab or  
arrowkey has its contents written to the cell.

Is there some way to have a script trap the relevant information  
about what is going on, e.g., that a cell has just been "opened for  
editing", that a cell has just been edited, which cell it is, etc.?

I assume that this "Edit Cell" activity is governed by a script that  
is reading a custom property, but I see no indication that the field  
actually has such a property or where the script is.

Many thanks.
