multiply cell indicators

Hi,
in the indicator-template example it only show one cell.

How do you create multiply indicators. eg. if I want to have a cell-indicator on 1,1 & 1,2 etc how it it acheived.?

As you can see I'm very new to ActiveWidgets.

Thanks for any help/advise on this subject.

Pay close attention to the comment above this line in Alex's example -

// show for cell 1-1
obj.setCellIndicator(true, 1, 1)

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the quick reply but I think I didn't make myself clear. I would like to have a indicator-template on variuos cell's each having a different comment when selected/clicked. In the example the reply sent back each time is the same regardless of which cell is selected.

I have tried doing the following
// show for cell 1-1
obj.setCellIndicator(true, 1, 1);
// show for cell 1-2
obj.setCellIndicator(true, 1, 2);

but they both return the same.
eg.
"Cell indicator - 1 1" or "Cell indicator - 1 2"

Does this make sence.?

Thanks

Yes, perfectly. The pup-up comes from this alert call in Alex's example -

obj.onCellIndicatorClicked = function(event, col, row){
    alert("Cell indicator - " + col + " " + row)}

You would need to replace the alert() call with whatever you wish to have. And that will get very complicated very quickly.

From what I can tell of Alex's example, while this tries to mimic Excel, it doesn't do so completely. You can't, for example, add a new indicator interactively as you can in Excel and type in some comments.

You would need to write a lot more code to do that. So, something like detect a right or shift or control click, pop up a panel (a DIV would be the easiest) with a textpane in it. Then store that somehow when the pop-up is closed.

If you're familiar with JavaScript and HTML, its doable. If not, you'll be spending a very long time on this.

You also need to replace the default Template with the one custom defined "MyTemplate" for every column you are planning to use cells-indicators.
Like in the sample:

// our new template for col-1
obj.setCellTemplate(new MyTemplate, 1);

Or do it for the whole grid:

// our new template for all columns in grid
obj.setCellTemplate(new MyTemplate);
