Description Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-10-10 22:23:49 EDT
1)	Keyboard navigation causes boolean values to change state (booleans don't have a real cell editor)
2) You can't navigate away from an active combo box
3) You can't dismiss a cell editor with escape

NOTES:
	RG (5/3/01 12:08:37 PM)
	1) This is a "feature" of CheckBoxCell editor. It should not be used in the
	property sheet since one can use a combo instead. (It is needed in the tasklist)
	We removed the property descriptor for this editor to discourage its use.

	2) We could use the up/down arrrows but I think we will lose the key press that allows you to leave.
	Thus you would have to press twice to go to the next item.

	3) This is being fixed
	1G607PZ: ITPUI:ALL - Esc does not disable PropertySheet Text Cell Editor.

	RG (5/7/01 3:19:20 PM)
	Idea 2) above is not valid since we need the up/down arrow keys to navigate the combo list.

	RG (5/7/01 7:17:53 PM)
	Actually the fix for three will allow you to navigate away by pressing escape.

	Now waiting on 1GEM261: SWT:ALL - CCombo still has focus when invisible

Unable to open dialog of dialog cell editor without a keyboard.
The button is asked to take focus but will not because it is an arrow button. 
This is not the correct style anyway. We need a graphic with 3 dots.

Still awaiting graphic 
Comment 4 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-04-22 09:39:28 EDT
Changed dialog cell editor to use three dot button.
All cell editors can now be navigated/opened using the keyboard.

Can this be closed?
Comment 6 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-05-20 13:17:01 EDT
The main issue is addressed but we still need better keyboard navigation (move 
selection to desired property, activate editor using enter. Moving to later.
