Description

CanNavigateIntoColumn is sent to a column to determine if it can take the focus via a Next or Previous keyboard navigation. It is passed the navigation direction in bForward and it returns true if the object can take the focus.

With non-data aware grids (cCJGrid/cCJGridColumn), this will return true if the column is Editable (pbEditable) and focusable (IsColumnFocusable). With data aware grids (cDbCJGrid/cDbCJGridColumn), an additional check is made to support SkipFound with forward navigation. If the column is a SkipFound column (which is determined by the data dictionary), columns that already have a found record will return False.

This method is called by the NextColumn and PreviousColumn methods, which are called by the grid's Next and Previous messages, as well as FirstEnterableColumn and LastEnterableColumn.

CanNavigateIntoColumn is suitable for augmentation.

Return Value

Returns true if this column is a candidate for this focus change.
