TElTreeInplaceDateTimePicker embedded in TElXTree: How to use the keyboard to enter Edit mode?

RaymondWK

There are 2 columns of dates in the ElXtree; columns 0 and 1.

RoSelected and FullRowSelect are both True.

When the user presses F2 I want the left column of dates to be placed into edit mode,

and Shift+F2 for the right column of dates.

I use an Action Manager action to process the keys, and this is not an issue.

I have tried:

  with TimeTree do

  begin

    RowSelect     := False;

    FullRowSelect := False;

    with ItemFocused do

    begin

      Cells[0].Selected := True;

    end;

  end;

  InPlaceDTP.StartOperation();

Although there is a change of highlight on the row that is similar to what happens when I use the mouse to edit one of the datetime cells, I am unable to edit the datetime value.

What needs to be done to make this work?

Thanks.

Found it by searching through all the possible functions of XTree in the Delphi editor.

The following Action item has shortcut F2 and does exactly what I want.

Sorry to bother you, but some more information in the Help would be helpful.

Raymond

procedure TMainForm.EditCellActionExecute(Sender: TObject);

var

  ActiveColumn : Integer;

begin

  ActiveColumn := GetActiveColumn(ItemTree);

  if not (ActiveColumn in [0, 4, 5]) then

  begin

    Exit;

  end;

  ItemTree.EditItem(ItemTree.ItemFocused, ActiveColumn);

end;
