Problem


A single click on a GXCheckBox in Grid.J does not check/uncheck the box if the control does not have focus.


Cause


GXCheckBox was not designed for this functionality.


Action


Modify activateCurrentCell(boolean bEnableControl) in the GXCore1.java file by adding the highlighted code:
....beginning of activateCurrentCell()....
// initialize the control.
if (isBaseStyleUsed()) style.loadBaseStyle();
if (bEnableControl) control.onSetGXStyle(style, true);

Rectangle r = calcRectFromRowCol(cell.row, cell.col);
try {
if (control instanceof Component) {
if (((Component)control).getParent()!=this&&!bReadOnlyCell) add((Component)control);
onSetControlBounds(((Component)control), cell.row, cell.col, r);
}

if (control instanceof GXExControl) {
((GXExControl)control).doGetFocus(bEnableControl);
} else {
if (control instanceof Component) {
if (bEnableControl&&!bReadOnlyCell) {
((Component)control).setVisible(true);
((Component)control).setEnabled(true);
} else {
((Component)control).setVisible(false);
((Component)control).setEnabled(false);
}
}

// added for checkbox
if (control instanceof GXCheckBox)
{
if (((GXCheckBox)control).getState() == true)
((GXCheckBox)control).setState(false); //true
else
((GXCheckBox)control).setState(true); //false;

((GXCheckBox)control).repaint();
}
// end of checkbox
} } catch (Exception ex) {} ... rest of method....
