Usage

This @function works in the OnHelp event of a form. It is triggered by selecting Help - Context Help from the menu bar or pressing F1 when:

• The cursor is in a field in a table cell when the document is in edit mode
• Text or an object is selected in a table cell and the document is in read mode

When focus is in the tab of a tabbed table, [CELLCOLUMN] always returns zero.

You cannot use this @function in Web applications.

Examples

row := @GetFocusTable([CELLROW]);
@If(row = "0"; @Prompt([OK]; "*No table*"; "Not in a table");
@Do(
column := @GetFocusTable([CELLCOLUMN]);
name0 := @GetFocusTable([TABLENAME]);
name := @If(name0 = ""; "No name"; name0);
@Prompt([OK]; "*" + name + "*";
"Row " + row + ", column " + column)))
