1. RE: Phil Russel - EuGrid
Hi Jonas,
Sorry not to reply sooner - I've been away for a few days sans access to
PC.
A few notes in response:
1. If you want to display non-editable, non-highlighted text then just
use a column type of EGW_STATIC (not EGW_EDIT).
2. EGW_COL_EDITABLE displays the edit control but does not allow an
edit. It *does* allow you to copy the contents though (by ctrl-c or
right-click menu), which is occasionally desirable. EGW_COL_DISABLED by
contrast does not display an edit control and draws the text in the
windows 'greyed text' way.
3. The problem with the background colour of an edit control not
matching the cell background should be fixed in 1.3 (it is on my PC).
You can use the version of 1.3 that I sent you - it is not going to
change in any meaningful way before I release it, as the only thing I
haven't finished is...
4. ...the documentation, which as you noticed is a bit out-of-date. Any
day now 
5. There is no built-in support for when a user tabs etc into a cell yet
(though there should - and will be). I think that I can come up with a
workaround though. Give me a day or so and I'll post it (if it works).
HTH,
Phil

Well, I used EGW_EDIT because I was under the impression an EGW_STATIC
could not be multiline. However, I've come to uderstand I was wrong. I
probably thought that because the IDE doesn't support setting that style
for a static cell.

Well, using EGW_STATIC makes the EGW_COL_EDITABLE/EGW_COL_DISABLED issue
a non-issue.

I'll be anxiously waiting!

Tbanks! I would greatly appreciate that! I'm doing a small demo program
to show a client we can replace their character based interface with a
Windows interface without changing anything on the host system. I
certainly would not be able to pull this off without EuGrid!

This should have worked but I found a little bug 
It will definitely be
fixed for the next IDE release. Anyone wanting the fix, just e-mail me.
