Hello, since i updatet Gambas, i cannot edit with the old way the cell of a Tableview (like: https://forum.gambas.one/viewtopic.php?t=1212


Until now this worked, now on Textbox1.SelectAll i get null Object, commentet out nothing happens…
What i make wrong?

But TextBox1 is not created

You must create it.

And TextBox1 = TableView1.Editor seems backwards

it should be

TableView1.Editor = TextBox1

I get Tableview.editor is read only.

Aah yes sorry i confused it with EditWith method.

TableView.Editor is for getting the control used with TableView.EditWith() TableView.Edit

Maybe whoever wrote that example can explain what it's doing.

I'm guessing it's using TableView default editor that is probably a textbox.
But for some reason in new gambas it's not created yet.

Maybe if you use Wait 0.1 after TableView.Edit to give the textbox chance to create.

Thanks, but it still NULL OBJECT.... will not be createt...

i just updated to latest gambas and tried this code…


Works as expected, text is selected.
I'm not sure why it is not working for you.

Try this to test it's actually using a textbox…

it should print something like..
Form1.TableView1_Click.47: (TextBox 0x565b829f8028)

Maybe its not using a textbox as it also can use combobox?

 I think we will need an example project.

seems to work as expected here so we need to figure out why it's not for you.

Does the Textbox to edit the fields actually appear?
I suspect editing is somehow broken as you say "nothing happens"

 FNewEntry.TablePesticide_Click.1345:

No Textbox appears.

I could not get BruceS' code to work completely. The editor appears but the text was not selected.
Here's a bit of code I wrote (don't worry, be happy   ) that does work, the editor appears and all the text is selected.

Now, a bit of theory…

When Edit/EditWith is executed,  the Gambas GUI starts doing its' stuff. The "Editor" is a Control entirely within the GUI component. When you try and "get at it" in the lines following the Edit/EditWith in your code it is going to have no affect on what the GUI component is doing at that time. It has probably already displayed it and is waiting for input, you can't change it. So the only way to affect what is being displayed is like the above code i.e. you need to set it up before  asking the GUI to do its' stuff and use EditWith not Edit. Also note that the control is initially typed as an anonymous Object not as Control or some specific Control.

I think TableView.Editor is only really for use in the TableView_Save() method so you can get the result of the users interaction.
Dat's what I think anywho.

 Thanks, but is also not working, i can't see any editorbox or textbox.

Make a sample project showing the problem Andreas and post it here.

1 of 2 things happen when you do that….
Either you find you cannot reproduce the problem in your example program and it helps you find where your main program is going wrong.

Or you CAN reproduce the problem and WE can then help you find the error

But without seeing your code we cannot guess as to why your editor (textbox) does not show.

Also are you using X11 or wayland?

Thanks everyone! With your tips i found it.


Since the update the row.height on the insertet row cannot be lower than 25, otherwise this error occur, also with higher values the text in the editorbox isnot readable. Can anyone reproduce this also? I use Ubuntu 24.10 with wayland.
