Detect when user shifts sells

Suite and Optimus Suite 5

Hello,

I want to show a description outside the grid that explains what a column is about. I cannot seem to find an event that allows me to track when the user shifts columns. I can get notifications reliably from the ‘onSelectStateChanged’ event but only when the row changes.

Looking at the source code it seems that column change notifications is not possible (although I can sometimes trigger them with clicks - but just never the keyboard navigation).

Could you either point me in the right direction on how to detect a selected cell change, or provide some code to work around the limitation?

Much appreciated,

In this case you may use onRowSelect event. It’s second parameter controls the column index.

So if a user is in Row 3, and presses the right arrow to move from Column 1 to Column 2, this event would be fired?

That’s what I need: Keyboard support, when only changing columns (not rows. Row changing works, I can’t figure out how to get a notification when only the column changed).

Thanks you
