Description
The bDataColumn supports 4 different settings to edit cells:
1.No AutoEdit
If the access contains the logical value FALSE or the symbol value NULL_SYMBOL, the edit in the current cell starts only by pressing the RETURN key or by double-clicking the mouse button in the cell.
2.AutoEdit: #Sensitive
If the access contains the symbol value #Sensitive, the edit in the current cell is started, as soon as the left mouse button or a valid key on the keyboard is pressed. The pressed key is taken automatically into the edit.
3.AutoEdit: #Excel
If the access contains the symbol value #Excel, the edit in the current cell is started, as soon as the left mouse button or a valid key on the keyboard is pressed. The pressed key is taken automatically to the edit. During the edit the browser behaves like Microsoft Excel.
4.AutoEdit: #Permanent
If the access contains the logical value TRUE or the symbol value #Permanent, an edit is started automatically, as soon as a new cell is selected.
Important note!
This mode cannot be used in combination with the bBrowser:SelectionMode #Multiple.
The access bDataColumn:AutoEdit is supported only if editing of cells is switched on in the browser (bBrowser:Editable) and in the column (bDataColumn:Editable)
If the record is deleted, the access does not work.
If the access bDataColumn:AutoEdit contains the value NIL then the setting of the access bBrowser:AutoEdit is used.
