Question

Is there any way to create editable table in a JSX dialog box?

I have created a table in JSX dialog box using multiple column list as follows.

var dlg = new Window("dialog", "Animation List");
dlg.frameLocation = [100,100]; // position
dlg.size = [750, 250];
//table initailize 
var w0=150, w1=150 ;
    
 table = dlg.add ("listbox", {x:20, y:20, width:300, height:150}, undefined, { numberOfColumns:6, showHeaders:true, 
 columnWidths: [w0,w1], 
 columnTitles:["First Name", "Last Name"] });
table.add("item", "Namodaya"); 
table.items[0].subItems[0].text = "Balaarachchi";
  
 dlg.show();

Output table:

But I want to edit the cells in the table. Is there any way to achieve this?

As a way, define the function

table.onDoubleClick = function ()
{
// here place the form call to edit the current table element
}

    Thank you for your quick response.

    I tried to fix this issue with your solution. But still I couldn't understand how to edit current cell when a user clicks the cell.

    Also, there has a problem how to get the current position of the cell when the table is scrollable as below.

    var dlg = new Window("dialog", "Animation List");  
    dlg.frameLocation = [100,100]; // position  
    dlg.size = [750, 250];  
      
      
    //table initailize   
    var w0=150, w1=150 ;  
          
     table = dlg.add ("listbox", {x:20, y:20, width:300, height:150}, undefined, { numberOfColumns:6, showHeaders:true,   
     columnWidths: [w0,w1],   
     columnTitles:["First Name", "Last Name"] });  
      
     for( var i = 0; i < 20 ; i++ )
     { 
        table.add("item", "Namodaya");   
        table.items.subItems[0].text = "Balaarachchi";  
     }
    table.onDoubleClick = function ()  
    {  
        // here place the form call to edit the current table element  
    }  
     dlg.show(); 

    Could you please explain?

    I think this is what r-bin​ meant.

    var dlg = new Window("dialog", "Animation List");  
    dlg.frameLocation = [100,100]; // position  
    dlg.size = [750, 250];   
    //table initailize   
    var w0=150, w1=150 ;       
    table = dlg.add ("listbox", {x:20, y:20, width:700, height:150}, undefined, { numberOfColumns:6, showHeaders:true,   
    columnWidths: [w0,w1],   
    columnTitles:["First Name", "Last Name","Field 3","Field 4","Field 5","Field 6"] });  
    table.add("item", "Namodaya");   
    table.add("item", "Fred"); 
    table.items[0].subItems[0].text = "Balaarachchi";  
    table.items[0].subItems[1].text = "asdfghjkl";
    table.items[1].subItems[0].text = "Bloggs";  
     table.onDoubleClick = function(){
         var w = new Window("dialog", "Edit Text"); 
         //Add fields to suit
         w.et1 = w.add("edittext");
         w.et1.preferredSize=[200,20];
         w.et1.text= table.selection.text;
         w.et2 = w.add("edittext");
         w.et2.preferredSize=[200,20];
         w.et2.text = table.selection.subItems[0];
        w.p = w.add("button",undefined,"Update");
        w.add("button",undefined,"Cancel");
        w.p.onClick=function(){
            table.selection.text=w.et1.text;
            table.selection.subItems[0].text = w.et2.text;
            w.close(0);
            }
        w.show();
         }
     dlg.show();

    There is a Scripting forum.  It only gets a half dozen posts a day, and it is not unlikely the people who follow the scripting forum also follow this one, but you'd still get a better chance of a useful reply over there.

    Photoshop Scripting

    We can move this thread to that forum if you like, or you can copy your post to a new thread over there?
