Hi there,
I’d like to use dhtmlxGrid to let users type expressions into cells, have those expressions evaluated server-side, and the results of evaluation displayed in the grid (like a traditional spreadsheet).
The tricky bit is I’d like to support what I’m calling ‘reference grabbing’ - where a user in the middle of typing a formula can indicate a range of cells using either cursor keys or dragging with the mouse, and have that cellrange entered into the expression being edited, at the text cursor, while the grabbed range is highlighted on the grid using colored dotted borders or marching ants.
I can’t find mention of direct support for this in dhtmlxGrid’s documentation or forums, so I’m assuming I’ll have to code it from scratch myself. Do people think it will be easy (or hard) to add this to dhtmlxGrid?
Many thanks for any thoughts or suggestions,
Jonathan
