Hi,

Yes, in this case rve.CurItemNo returns an index of table item.

Items in cells are not items of the main document, they are indexed

separately for each cell.

When cell is edited, a special RichViewEdit is created on top of it. You can

use it instead of the main editor.

In the latest version, it can be accessed as

rve := RichViewEdit1.TopLevelEditor;

In 1.6.10, it can be accessed as

rve := RichViewEdit1;

while rve.InplaceEditor<>nil do

rve := TCustomRichViewEdit(rve.InplaceEditor);

Now you can use CurItemNo and other methods of rve.

(if cell is not edited, rve will be equal to RichViewEdit1);

But, in most of cases, CurItemNo is not needed. You can use GetCurrent***

and SetCurrent*** methods, which work with the item in position of caret -

both if it is in the main editor or in cell.
