TArrayBrowse ... how easy to do this?

[ChrisGillard]

I am wanting to browse an array where each element is itself either an array
or an object.
The ArrayBrowse just needs to show say element #2 of each array or say
obj:cName.
I dont think this is going to work .... but I would like it to.
Maybe I could inherit from TArrayBrowse & modify the GetData ..... is this
realistic?
My solution at the moment is to have two arrays ....
Array 1 has an array at each row/column cell .... this is where I keep all
my info for each cell.
Array 2 is an array and has has a string value for each row/column and is
the one that I show in the ArrayBrowse.
The problem is I have to keep the string values in Array 2 up to date from
Array 1.
But as I am typing .... Array 2 could just be with "" empty rows & columns
but use the Array2:Getvalue event to look into Array 1 for the values to
display in Array2.
Both arrays have to be the same size of rows and columns but I think this
may work.
Any thoughts?
Chris

Yes, for sure.

This solutions seems good to me too.

This idea looks pretty promising BUT .... how do I know what row I am
refreshing from within TBrwColumn:OnDrawCell ??
The only thing that looks promising is the aRect parameter ... translated
into a Row ... somehow??
TBrwColumn:OnGetdata looks promising also ... but how to get the cell row
that is being refreshed??
I have been here before but forget the way of getting to a Row number within
a column event?
I wish there was a nRow parameter passed through ... that would make this
really simple?
Some help would be really appreciated.

Hi Jose,
Working late too ... thank you.
I like this idea too but just need to find the row being refreshed/got/drawn
from within the OnGertData or OnDrawCell event to allow me to look up the
data in the array with all the info.
How is that done please?
Last pice of the jigsaw.

It's not work but vice

Use the TArrayBrowse:nArrayAt property.

Hi,
Been doing this toom many years, since DbaseII on AppleII & CPM.
Anyway :nArrayAt is working so I will ArrayBrowse an array full of "" cells
.... and get all my data from the main array where each element is an array
of info.
This is very good stuff.
Xailer is truly exceptional ... plus the support!

LOL! We are getting old... I started with an Amstrad CPC464 and the
Locomotive Basic. Some months later I got two tapes with HiSoft C and
HiSoft Pascal and a book to learn the Z80 assembler. That is how the vice
started

Many thanks for the kind words!
