IWGrid headers

[Brian]

Larry,

Messing a bit with IWGrid - is there any way to change the text of the headers?
Rather than A, B, C, etc, could I have "Col 1", "Col 2", "Col 3", for example?

And how do I go about saving the contents of cells so that you could re-load
them on program startup?

Brian

Edit: Just noticed - if you have ShowRowNumbers on, clicking on a row number
does not highlight the whole line, as you would expect it to do if you have
also set SetHiLightRow to on

Code Select Expand

IWG_Create(main, "", 20,30,600,340, 501)
IWG_ShowHeader(main,501, 1)
IWG_AutoNumberHeader(main,501, 0)
IWG_InitCellDat(main, 501, 0, 1, "Col 1",@IWGLABEL,0)
IWG_InitCellDat(main, 501, 0, 2, "Col 2",@IWGLABEL,0)
IWG_InitCellDat(main, 501, 0, 3, "Col 3",@IWGLABEL,0)
IWG_InitCellDat(main, 501, 0, 4, "Col 4",@IWGLABEL,0)

And how do I go about saving the contents of cells so that you could re-load
them on program startup?

Code Select Expand

for every cell you want to save
   a$=IWG_GetCellDat(main, 501, r, c)
   write r, c, a$ to a file

on startup
init all the cells
   IWG_InitCellDat(main, 501, r, c, "", celltype, flags)
then read file
   into a$, r, c
   IWG_SetCellDat(main, 501, r, c, a$)

Just noticed - if you have ShowRowNumbers on, clicking on a row number
does not highlight the whole line, as you would expect it to do if you have
also set SetHiLightRow to on

SetHiLightRow highlights the row that contains the currently selected cell
the row number column cells can't be selected for editing so that's why it works the way it does right now.
I'll look in to seeing if I can make it work the way you say without trashing all my code thus far.
It will probably result in me forcing it to select column A when you click on the row number

thanks for the feedback.

Silly Billy - never saw the InitCellDat bit. Was looking for a specific command,
like the Listview one

Right, on we go - many thanks, Larry
