Is it possible to move the cursor to a specific location on a grid?

I have a compute of the form in a case which is doing validations

Compute MntRequests.OpenRequests.CurGrdColNum = 3 ;

Where "Mntrequests" is the form name and "OpenRequests" is the grid name.

The cursor is in column 7.

I even tried refreshing the form (which I did not think was necessary).

Is it possible to move the cursor within a grid? If so what am I doing wrong?

This is the proper syntax to move the cursor to a specific row / column in a grid:

FormName.GridName.SETSCROLL(i,j);

Where FormName is the name of the form, Gridname is the name of the grid, i is the row number and j is the column number.

Please make sure that you have used the correct form and grid names in the command.

Note: Marks solution moves the entire screen.
For example moving to column 3 makes that the left most column.

It does not move the cursor with out scrolling the screen which is what I want to do.

Since you only want to move the cursor and NOT shift the columns on the screen, we need to add a second command. To do this, we have to make sure that the desired row is on the screen.

First, we will scroll down to the desired row, and then move the cursor:

Compute Form.Grid.SetScroll(Row, 1)
-* Where Row is the desired row and 1 is col 1
Compute Form.Grid.SetCursor(Row, Col)
-* Where Col is the desired column

This should do exactly what you want
