Click event for Checkbox in Grid Column VPF9SP2 1

[foxlover2012]

Hi all,
I have a checkbox in a grid column working perfectly, except for the fact that there is no click event or interactive change event available.
How can I respond to a user when they click on the checkbox?
Thanks, John

You have to edit the grid, then select the column, then the checkbox, you can then edit the method for interactive change.

You might be having problems, if there is ore than one control for the column, you need to either delete any others or
make sure the check box is the current control.

Also, you need to set the sparse property for the column to the non-default value of false, or your users won't be able to interact with the
check-box so easily anyway.

Good luck

Regards

Thanks for the reply.
My checkbox is working exactly as it is supposed to.
However, there is no Interactive change, programmatic change or Click method under the Methods tab.
I tried creating a custom checkbox class, but from the class designer, I cannot drag it into the grid cell.
These methods are all available in the custom class!
I will trying add the custom class via code.

Thanks. John

If you edit the grid in the way I suggested, drilling right down to the checkbox, you should have the methods you want available to you.

Got it!
I had to select "check1" from the pull down menu in the properties tab to get the Methods to show up.
If you drill down using ctrl-click, the methods Click, etc. do not show in the methods tab!
Thanks.

If you drill down using ctrl-click, the methods Click, etc. do not show in the methods tab!

That's because the grid column still contains the original text box - even though you also added a checkbox. When you did Ctrl+Click, you selected the text box. The check box was behind it.

Ideally, you should have done as Griff suggested, and deleted the text box. However, the way you did also works.
