DOORS 5.2 or 7.0 SP1
Is there a way to determine the current column a user has the cursor in? More specifically, I need to be able to determine the current column from a user invoked menu function. I'm trying to do context sensitive help. Edited: 4-Mar-2004 at 16:20 by Douglas Zawacki |

If you want to insert a new column at the front of the view you would "select" the first column turning it from pink to grey, then proceed to insert a column. Note that the "current" column is NOT the one that you are currently "in place editing", nor the one the cursor is over.
Check out the "getSelectedCol" command to get this selected column index number. - Louie |

Louie,
Thanks for your continued support and input. I found it hard to believe that we couldn't query for the currently selected column but I was looking in the reference guide under "Columns" ...I have to start thinking like telelogic in order to find these things in the book. ![]() |

"Thinking like Telelogic". You know, you CAN predict Lemings without thinking like one.

Louie,
For those of us less educated in the English language (I'm not a native english speaker), please educate me to the meaning of Leming. Otherwise put: I would like to know if my mental image of Telelogic is in any way described by yours. Pieter ------------------------- Pieter de Waard www.nhindustries.com |

Before I leap off a cliff with my fellow lemmings...
Douglas, why not put the help menu on the column header popup? You will have to edit DOORSHOME/lib/dxl/config/formalheading.dxl. ------------------------- Tony Goodman http://www.smartdxl.com |

Lemings are I believe rodents in Canada that, every now and then, get fired up and march out of their homes and keep marching until usually die; often by leaping off a cliff or drowning in a river. Perhaps over-crowding makes them go insane or makes them VERY determined to find a new home (like Bees). Who knows what they are thinking.

Tony,
I would love to make the help on the column header popup...But I can't #1-I am not allowed to touch any DOORS native source code. (Company Policy)(DOORSHOME/lib/dxl/config/formalheading.dxl.) #2-Even if we did decide to alter a system DXL file. I have three levels of help: a) Help on the current Module b) Help on the current View c) Help on the current Column All three of those are menu selections. So it sort of makes sense to have access to all three levels of help from the menu system. But, thanks for the ideas folks ![]() |
