A Data Grid table has a header where the column names are displayed (1). When a user clicks in the header with the mouse the dgHeader of the target returns the long id of the group control that contains all of the header controls.

When the user clicks on a column header (2) the dgHeaderControl of the target returns the long id of the group control that contains all of the column header controls.

Here is some sample code that prints off the dgHeaderControl and dgHeader properties when the user clicks on a Data Grid. You can place this script in the Data Grid script.

==========

Copy & Paste

==========

on mouseDown pBtnNum
	put "Column header control:" && the dgHeaderControl of the target \
			 & cr & cr & "Header control:" && the dgHeader of the target
end mouseDown

After adding the script to the Data Grid the value of the dgHeaderControl and dgHeader properties are displayed in the message box. In this example both properties return the long id of a control (1) because I clicked on a column header (2).

In this example only the dgHeader property returns the long id of a control (1) because I clicked in the table header but not on a column header (2).
