Re: wxGrid boolean changes

 

Jeff,

This doesn't work on windows.  The first click works as expected where
is selects the row and checks the checkbox.  The subsequent click
selects the row and the next click behaves like two consecutive clicks
which leave the checkbox in it's original state.  I will try to test
this on linux tonight when I get home.

Cheers,

Wayne
