dwcontrol |
A reference to a DataWindow control, DataStore object, or child DataWindow |
Return value
Returns the number of the column that the user clicked or double-clicked in dwcontrol. Returns 0 if the user did not click or double-click a column (for example, the user double-clicked outside the data area, in text or spaces between columns, or in the header, summary, or footer area).
If dwcontrol is null, in PowerBuilder and JavaScript the method returns null.
Usage
Call GetClickedColumn in the Clicked or DoubleClicked event for a DataWindow control.
When the user clicks on the column, that column becomes the current column after the Clicked or DoubleClicked event is finished. During those events, GetColumn and GetClickedColumn can return different values.
If the user arrived at a column by another means, such as tabbing, GetClickedColumn cannot identify that column. Use GetColumn instead to identify the current column.
Examples
These statements return the number of the column the user clicked or double-clicked in dw_employee:
integer li_ColNbr li_ColNbr = dw_employee.GetClickedColumn()
