I'm writing a checkbook register program, in order to learn Windows
program. I'm trying to figure the "Windows style" to do the following:
I've got a checkbook register laid out on the screen in a list box.
I'd like clicking on a row to select the row (i.e. such that hitting
the delete key would delete that row, or Insert would insert a new
row after the selected one). However, I'd like to be able to click on
a column, and then put up an I-beam cursor to permit the user to
edit the selected column.
This means that clicking on the first column in a row could mean
"select the row" or it could mean "put the I-beam cursor in the ffirst
column for editing."
What is the appropriate behavior in cases like this?
