I set up a test table with an integer ID columne and three memo text
columns. The IB_Grid for this table has no event handler for
OnEditButtonClick. It should use the default memo editor and I'd prefer to
use the default text editor, (but my own date editor as I have date
calculations using a table of non-working days which is set for local law).

In the code I have if gnOnEditDoEditClick=True and AlwaysShowEditor=True
then entering a memo cell causes cycling somewhere as evidenced by the cell
text flicker.

Setting gnOnEditDoEditClick=False, AlwaysShowEditor=True and
EditLinksAuto=False brings up the [...] elllipsis button on entering a memo
cell but the default editor does not appear. The [...] button appears only
for those columns listed in EditLinks.

Setting EditLinksAuto=True causes all 3 memo columns to display the [...]
button on cell entry and allows the default editor to edit the cells when
[...] is pressed. The behaviour at this settign is OK,

There is no column level control over what columns can be edited? Do I need
an OnEditButtonClick handler for this?

So I am not seeing your solution.

I am afraid the options here have overcome me.
If you give me settings I should try for
1. NavigateOptions (all the parts)
2. EditLinksAuto
3. EditLinks
4 AlwaysShowEditor
I will look more.

Thanks again,

Russell
