Thread: Best way of adding "double-click to edit" functionality?

Best way of adding "double-click to edit" functionality? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have a form with a DataGrid of records pulled from a new top-level table, and accessed from a new menu, Manage->Interests.

It kind of works okay now, and I can right-click to Add/Edit/Delete, the first two of which open up a second form bound using the EditView properties.

My question is, how do I add double-click functionality? I've seen it in some other places, but it seems to require a lot of coding in order to spawn a new instance of the form and set the recordset, and after saving I have to create functions for UPDATE or INSERT INTO to handle that. Seems a bit excessive.

Hoping there's an easier way,

Mark

So you just want to invoke the edit action when the row is double-clicked? Is this right? Take a look at this article: http://www.slxdeveloper.com/page.aspx?action=viewarticle&articleid=48 You'll just trigger that from the double-click action of the grid.

Not to knock what Ryan wrote but there is now a simpler way to accomplish this in one line of code - just invoke the ViewEdit object. Here is an example:

Sub grdGridNameDblClick(Sender)
grdGridName.ViewEdit
End Sub

Hi Ted,

That way works too, but I can't recall what version it was added in (it was only added in a fairly recent version - I know for sure it doesn't exist in 6.2.6, haven't checked 7.0.1 or higher). Anyway, if your version doesn't have the ViewEdit method on the DataGrid you'll have to invoke the edit form using ShowViewForRecord.

Yes, introduced in 7.0.

If you like ShowViewForRecord, you should also look at ShowViewForRecordEx which allows you to pass through the bind information of the datagrid (the way it is from the standard Add/Edit invoke).

ShowAddForm is also useful for Adding because it returns the New ID to the script.
