1. EUGrid
Hi Guys,
I am using an EUGrid, one of its columns uses a dropdown and another is
prefilled with a date. I want to detect when the user selects one of the dropdown
items and change the entry in the date column for that row accordingly. i.e. if
the dropdown has a choice of 'today' or 'tomorrow', I default it to 'today' and
pre-enter todays date in the date column. If the user then selects 'tomorrow' I
want to automatically change the date field to tomorrows date.
I can detect when the user clicks on the 'arrow' to open the dropdown but I
can't see any message or notification when he actually selects one of the
options.
Is there a way to detect this?
Regards
PeteS

Hi Pete,
It's not possible in the current version, I'm afraid. The nearest you could
get would be to trap an EGW_CELLCHANGE when the user navigates out of the
dropdown and set the value at that point. Alternatively, if you only have a
short list of values, maybe you could use a series of checkbox columns, one
for each choice, and set values according to the selection e.g. selecting
checkbox column 'Today' would a)set today's date and b) uncheck checkbox
column 'Tomorrow'.
This should all get a lot easier with EuGrid v2.00 - assuming I ever finish
it, that is 
Sorry to disappoint.
Regards,
Phil

Thanks for replying Phil, I figured that would be the answer 
but thought it
was worth asking..
All I can say is get back to work on version 2!!
