Hello, I dont know much about basic table fields or how basic they are, Im already using it to store data from mysql database and its working fine, but I dont know how to get the contents of the cells or a specific cell in the table and I searched for some kind of documentation about this type of field but the information I found wasnt useful.

Hi hsh_636,
well, a TABLE field is "just" a field with TABs in it!
...
## To get "cell" B2
set itemdel to TAB
put item 2 of line 2 of fld "your table field here" into tCellB2
...
Best

So, what message does the field object receive when you click on item 2 of line 2 (that is, the cell[2,2] is highlighted, with the insertion point appearing at the beginning) ?
The code
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the selectedText of me into msg
end mouseUp
returns empty.
Thanks,
Sri.

Hi Sri,
the table field is very basic and on top the working is hidden from the user in a frontscript.
for a discussion see:

there is also a script how to get at the cell that received a click.
Kind regards
Bernd
