PRB: Disabled Grid Column Allows Focus with Mouse Click

MORE INFORMATION

To determine the last active cell, you need to ensure that the row and column values are stored as a property of the form. Create two new properties named OldRow and OldCol. To set the values, add the following lines of code to the GotFocus event for each object in the grid that should receive focus:

   * code in Grid1.Column<n>.<Object>.GotFocus
   THISFORM.OldRow = THIS.PARENT.PARENT.ActiveRow
   THISFORM.OldCol = THIS.PARENT.PARENT.ActiveColumn
				

In the following example, the second column is disabled:

   * code in Grid1.AfterRowColChange event
   LPARAMETERS nColIndex      && supplied by method
   IF nColIndex = 2
       THIS.ActivateCell( THISFORM.OldRow, THISFORM.OldCol )
   ENDIF
				

Now when clicked, the disabled column will flash briefly. Then focus will return to the last active cell selected.
