    Default Suggestion 1 for cdbCJGridColumnSuggestion

    This matter applies to all df versions with cdbCJGridColumnSuggestion,
    The suggestion is - Enable up and down row navigation for cdbCJGridColumnSuggestion columns.

    Problem demonstrated by:
    Find a multiline order in orders.vw of the order entry database, position cursor in the Item ID column. Navigate rows with the down and up arrows. Performs as expected.

    Change oInventory_Item_ID to cdbCJGridColumnSuggestion class.
    When the suggestion list is not displayed, the up and down arrows no longer change rows for the Item ID column. << The bug.

    This is caused by the following procedures In Winsuggestion.pkg

    Code:
    { Visibility=Private }
        Procedure Up
            If (Focus(Desktop) = Self and ghoSuggestionList) Begin
                Send ScrollUp of ghoSuggestionList
            End
        End_Procedure
        
        { Visibility=Private }
        Procedure Down
            If (Focus(Desktop) = Self and ghoSuggestionList) Begin
                Send ScrollDown of ghoSuggestionList
            End
        End_Procedure
    These limit up and down to only work when ghoSuggestionList is displayed (refer the and connector).

    I subclassed cDbCJGridColumnSuggestionEdit with the following procedures

    Code:
    { Visibility=Private }
        Procedure Up
            If (Focus(Desktop) = Self) Begin
                If (ghoSuggestionList) Begin
                    Send ScrollUp of ghoSuggestionList
                End
                Else Begin
                    Send MoveUpRow
                End
            End
        End_Procedure
        
        { Visibility=Private }
        Procedure Down
            If (Focus(Desktop) = Self) Begin
                If (ghoSuggestionList) Begin
                    Send ScrollDown of ghoSuggestionList
                End
                Else Begin
                    Send MoveDownRow
                End
            End
        End_Procedure
    When subclassing cDbCJGridColumnSuggestion ensure you put the following in construct object

    Set phcEditClass to (RefClass(cmyDbCJGridColumnSuggestionEdit))

    Hat tip to Vincent who explained how to subclass cDbCJGridColumnSuggestionEdit in a recent post.

    Voila up and down work as expected.

    I expect this can be generalized if up and down navigation is required in suggestion forms which is the other place winsuggestion is used.
