Get the row column of a table using a mouse click?

[rharmon@sandia.gov]

I can't seem to find a consistent means of retrieving the row and column using a mouse click inside a table cell.

Property nodes "Edit Cell" and "Selection Start" seem to work sometimes... sometimes I get -2 and -2, but sometimes I even get the wrong row column...

It just doesn't seem to make any sense to me... I'm probably doing something really stupid, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what the stupid thing I'm doing????

Thanks

OK, I found my stupid... Right after I posted... I had setup my event structure wrong... too fast on the mouse...

I was getting the Previous row/column when they were wrong... Not sure why I got -2 -2... Not going to worry about that now...

Thanks for looking at my post and laughing... I'm sorta laughing too...

This is how you do it (the right way) 😉

Thank you...

I'll update my VI and do it the right way 👍

Honestly I would have never come up with this way... I truly appreciate your post...

Many controls have invoke nodes like this to convert the click position to more meaning full info, e.g. where in the X/Y plot you click.
