Thinlet table in Pocket PC

Question

Trying to determine what cell is clicked in a thinlet table. I'm aware that a cell is not selectable in the table. I tried using the setMethod to pass a thinlet cell java file that permits access to the XML file.
Here's a sample:
cell = thinlet.create("cell");
thinlet.setString(cell, "name", String.valueOf(1) + String.valueOf(i));   
thinlet.setString(cell, "text", "some data");
thinlet.add(row, cell);               
thinlet.setMethod(table, "action", "getSelectedCell(cell)", row,thinlet);            Actually, I would like to get the column if the cell can't be determine from a mouse click. Is this possible if the mouse click event is overriden?
I'm able to use place the method call in the action attribute of the
XML file, i.e. action="getSelectedCell(item)", which of course returns
the row. However, if is possible to determine what cell is clicked in a table?
any help is appreciated

Answer 1

In an attempt to determine what cell was clicked, the processEvent of the thinlet object has been overriden to capture mouse events. From the mouse event, I've tried using the xy coordinates to determine what cell is clicked. Here's an example.
protected void processEvent(AWTEvent e)
if( e instanceof MouseEvent)
MouseListener listener;
MouseEvent me = new MouseEvent(this, e.x, e.y....);
listener.mouseClicked(me);
super.processEvent(e);
// override mouse event
public void mouseEvent(MouseEvent evt)
Point pnt = evt.getPoint();
Object row = thinlet.getSelectedItem();
Object cells[] = thinlet.getItems(row);
}In the mouseClicked event, I've tried using the x-coordinate to determine the column the cell is in. However, in thinlet it appears that the width of a column can't be retrieved since there's no corresponding height property and the height and width have to both be specified in order to use either????
If I able to get the width a column, this should help determine the column a cell is in.
any help is appreciated.
