Hi all,
I have a timer event that runs in the background which uses the following statement to update values in a widget_table relative to the current system time.
widget_control, wid, Use_Table_select = select, Set_Value=values_arr
However this causes a problem when you are editing a cell and the timer event is triggered it exits the editing of the cell when set_value it called.
I can edit the background colours without this interuption e.g
widget_control, wid, Background_color =Background_color, Use_Table_select = select
Is there a way to use set_value on a table without interrupting the editing of a cell?
Thanks,
Tim

I seriously doubt it. You will probably have to implement something
yourself. Set a flag when you edit a cell, and release it when you are
done. Have your timer event handler check the flag. If it is set, just
send the event around again. That sort of thing.
Cheers,
David
