Hi,

is there a way to get the exact position (top, left, widht and height) of a selection in a table element ?
I was thinking about multiplicating the table-item-height with the count of items, but maybe there is a way thats more exactly ?

Bye, Fabian

XTools,
Take a look at the following Win32 API message ID's LVM_GETITEMRECT and LVM_GETSUBITEMRECT since the VDS Table element is actually a ListView control in Windows. Sorry I don't have time to build an example using these messages with VDS @Sendmsg but I am sure if you have a problem someone here should be able to help you out.

XTools,
Maybe if CodeScript has some time he could add this to his VDS TABLE Control API DSU if these are not already a part of his *.DSU Idea

Anyway I hope that helps. Also there is always VDSOBJ's string grid control that would probally be more suited for what your trying to do since it is a true Grid and the VDS TABLE is just a ListView control which has many limitations when compared to a Grid control.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.
I am already working with both list / grid controls. I will see what will work for me. Wink
