NAME

CollectionView::DoSelect - instance method

TEMPLATE

void DoSelect(Rectangle selection, int clicks)

SPECIFIERS

public virtual

DESCRIPTION

DoSelect is called by the method DoSelect2 when the CellSelector created by the method DoLeftButtonDownCommand has finished and at least one cell has been selected. By default, it notifies the next handlers through the method Control by sending the id of this, either const cPartCollDoubleSelect or const cPartCollSelect as part code and the row number of the selected cell.
Clients that wish to be informed about selection events have two possibilities:
1. install themselves as next event handler of a CollectionView and override the method Control
2. directly override DoSelect, check the selection and react appropriately. Method is sometimes overridden.

ARGUMENTS

Rectangle selection: see instvar selection
int clicks: specifies whether cells have been selected with a single or double click. If clicks is greater than 1, then the next handlers are notified with cPartCollDoubleSelect, otherwise with cPartCollSelect.

RETURN ARGUMENT

void

FIRST DEFINITION

class CollectionView

FILES

implementation:: CollView.C

KNOWN PROBLEMS

DoSelect passes only the row number of the selected cell (selection.origin.y) to Control. It should rather send a reference to selection.
