I am trying to replace an editable ActiveX grid on a maintain form with a js grid. I have replicated the majority of the functionality. The problem I have not been able to figure out is how to select all of the text in a cell when the customer either clicks on the cell or tabs to the cell from a cell before it. In the ActiveX grid the cell contents are automatically selected and allows the customer to start type to change the data if desired. In the js grid, the focus is on the cell, but the cursor is placed in front of the text in the cell. If the customer is going to change the contents, they have to double click to select all the text otherwise whatever they enter will be prepended to the original value. Below is the 2 event handlers I currently have defined. Unfortunately, neither of the events below will capture a cellfocus event when the user double clicks in one column and tabs to the next without changing the first column.

function OnGrid1_OnLClicked ( int col, long row, boolean updn, boolean processed) {
var dg = document.Form1.Grid1;
var currRow = dg.GetCurrentRow();
var prevRow = document. Form1.txtLastRow.value;
if (typeof currRow == 'undefined')
{
currRow=prevRow;
}
var columnCount = dg.GetNumberColumns();
setRowBackColor(dg, columnCount, currRow, prevRow);
document. Form1. txtLastRow.value = currRow;
document. Form1.txtIndex.value = currRow;
if (col == 1)
{
IWCTrigger("GetData")
}
else {
//want to select all text in first column of the currRow without making the customer double click a second time
dg.SetCellFocus(col, currRow) ;
}
}

function OnGrid1_OnCellChanged ( long col, long row, string text) {
var dg = document. Form1. Grid1;
var selectedCol = col + 1;
if (col == 0)
{
selectedCol = 2; //skip read only column
}
else if (col == 2) {
selectedCol = 6; //skip read only columnst
}
//want to select all text in selectedCol of the currRow
dg.SetCellFocus(selectedCol, row) ;
}
