Enterable Listbox

[Daniel N. Solenthaler]

Hi All,

I don't know about you, but I find entering data into an array type  
listbox cumbersome. The listbox cells often do not go into "enterable"  
mode as expected and there are several tries necessary to make the  
cell switch to enterable.

Another weird bug occurred today:

I have a dialog with an array type listbox. The "Enterable" property  
is set for all listbox cols, so I should be able to modify the data  
shown in the listbox.

However, on my 1920 x 1200 Pixel screen, the following is happening:

a) if I drag the dialog window towards the left edge of the screen and  
I click onto a listbox cell, I get the field contents highlighted and  
I am
able to modify the cell -> OK!

b) if I drag the same dialog window towards the right edge of the  
screen and I do the same, I am unable to modify the cell. -> Not
OK!

Enterability depends on the absolute position of the dialog window on  
the screen!! The more left the window, the better data can be entered  
into the listbox.

I have filed this bug today and unfortunately, there is a whole bunch  
of other listbox related bugs pending. I love listboxes and I do hope,  
that v11.5 will finally bring us reliable listboxes.

Regards
Daniel

Why not to use double click to edit an enterable cell while single click
to highlight a row? It works great for us, at least in our internal
testing.
