Set few cells in first row of a grid to * and gray out rest of the row

BinduSripad

Hi SKILL experts,

I have a grid in a form with last column having a pull-down (combo-box). I have to set the few cells in 1st row to "*" and gray out rest of the row.

The following code sets the 2nd and 3rd cells in 1st row to "*". I am not able to figure out how to gray the rest of the row.

_setCell = axlFormGridNewCell()
_setCell->row = 1
_setCell->col = 2
_setCell->value = "*"
axlFormSetField(myform "ListView1" _setCell)


_setCell = axlFormGridNewCell()
_setCell->row = 1
_setCell->col = 3
_setCell->value = "*"
axlFormSetField(myform "ListView1" _setCell)

Please help!

Thanks,

Bindu

  • Hi

    First look at the example fgrid.il in <cdsroot>/share/pcb/examples/skill.

    Best practice is to use the axlFormGridSetBatch function, and make defun in which you update/fill the grid.

    If you type axlFormGridNewCell()->?? then you get the cell structure:

    Skill > axlFormGridNewCell()->??
    (row 0 col 0 value
    nil backColor nil textColor nil
    check nil noEdit nil invisible
    nil objType "gridCell" scriptLabel nil
    popup nil
    )

    So by using _setCell->noEdit=t  and _setCell->backColor='button you can 'grey out' the cell and set a no-edit. 

    Btw, you only need to call once _setCell = axlFormGridNewCell(), and then you can change the values and call axlFormGridBatch(_setCell) to update the cell. 

    so;

    _setCell=axlFormGridNewCell()
    _setCell->row=1
    _setCell->cell=1
    _setCell->value= "row1col1"
    axlFormGridBatch(_setCell)
    _setCell->cell=2
    _setCell->value= "Row1col2"
    axlFormGridBatch(_setCell)
