How to get the position of the selected column in XBrowse?

EMG

Look at this :

oBrw:nColSel
o:nCreationOrder

     FOR i := 2 TO LEN( oBrw:aCols)
        oCol := oBrw:aCols[ i ]         
        oCol:nEditType     := EDIT_GET    
        oCol:bOnPostEdit := {|o, v, n| iif( (n != VK_ESCAPE .AND. oBrw:nColSel >2), (dbselectarea("EQUIP"),DBRLOCK(), FieldPut( o:nCreationOrder-1, v ), DBRUNLOCK() ), ) }
        oCol:bLClickHeader := {|r,c,f,o| (DEXO(o:nCreationOrder),oBrw:refresh()) }
     NEXT

I spoke too fast. What I really need is to know the position of the currently selected column starting from the first column. nCreationOrder is a sort of column id. nPos is the position starting from the first visible column not from the first column.

Any help?

HI Enrico.
oCol: = oBrw: SelectedCol ()
It seem oCol: nCreationOrder () returns the correct position of a column only when the columns keep their original order of creation, but not when they are swapped or hidden.

I have checked the class and could not find the method or function you want.

Ok, thank you. I've checked the class myself and found nothing either. Let's wait for Rao final word.

oSelectedCol := oBrw:SelectedCol()
nAt := AScan( oBrw:aCols, { |o| o:nCreationOrder == oSelectedCol:nCreationOrder } )

nAt := oBrw:aDisplay[ oBrw:nColSel ]

Probably the question is academic now... I would want to know the physical position of the currently selected column starting from the first column of the browse, not from the first visible column.
