Accessing additional sheets in GridJS

To simplify I would like to be able to select text within a textbox object while in read only mode

it would be nice to still have the selection indicators on the images and shapes as well and being able to move them still like before would also be a plus

@billkamm,

Thanks for sharing details about your new requirements. We will evaluate your needs and get back to you with details.

We will support select text within a textbox object while in read only mode.
We will support select on images/shapes in read only mode.(for move operation we don’t think it is suitable in read only mode)

Please try the latest client js v23.8.2
It changes the selection behavior for read mode. Please feedback to us if you meet any issue.

There appears to be issues with the highlights disappearing when you click on some objects and also at times it looks like there is two sets of bordered outline around the stuff that is clicked and I also no context menu appears when I right-click inside of a textbox. I did check our existing functionality and we don’t need to highlight the text inside of the textbox as long as we can right-click the object and get a context menu

We have adjusted the textbox selection behavior a little. For left-click on the textbox, it enters the text mode and the text can be selected, but it will not show the highlight effect. For right-click on the textbox, it still remains in image mode and displays the highlight effect, and the right context will be shown as normal.
Please try the latest client js v23.8.3.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as CELLSGRIDJS-897,CELLSGRIDJS-898,CELLSGRIDJS-902) have been fixed in this update. This message was posted using Bugs notification tool by johnson.shi

this is a preview snapshot. please have a check.

image highlights turn off on horizontal scroll.gif (134.6 KB)

When I click on a textbox object that is highlight and scroll horizontally the highlight disappears. If I then try to click in the textbox it won’t select the textbox unless I click in a different cell and then re-click in the textbox. Also, sometimes on scrolling when the highlight disappears a single select shows a highlight somewhere else on the spreadsheet

I also I have no way of right-clicking on a textbox object to bring up a context menu when in read only mode. I can right-click on images to bring up a context menu, but not a textbox. I need to be able to bring up a context menu on a selected textbox in read only mode

@billkamm,

Thank you for the screenshot, which shows that image highlights turn off when doing horizontal scrolling. We will evaluate this issue and your other mentioned issue (referring to right-clicking on a textbox object to bring up a context menu in read-only mode) in detail. We will get back to you soon with our updates and findings.

Does this fix the disappearing highlights on scroll as well or just the context menu issue? I see in your animated gif you highlighted text within the texbox and scrolled horizontally, but my issue was specifically when the whole textbox is highlighted as in highlighting an object the same way you would highlight an image.
