Make selection descriptor follow A1/R1C1 reference style of active worksheet (1.71 KB, patch)

Description Oliver Burnett-Hall 2007-02-12 22:22:47 UTC 
If the worksheet is using R1C1 style references, the selection descriptor still shows the active cell's reference in A1 style.

A possible fix for this is attached; it's a fairly non-invasive way of fixing this, but I don't know if it is the best way.

The patch defines a function, cellpos_as_string_r1c1(), to use instead of cellpos_as_string().  Instead it might be better to change the declaration of cellpos_as_string() to become:

char const *cellpos_as_string (GnmCellPos const *pos, gboolean r1c1_address)

I think this would be a bit cleaner, but would make the patch much bigger (though only in a trivial way).

Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.

I fixed this another way: basically, cell_name and the new parsepos_as_string
know how to query the sheet's r1c1_addresses.  That should fix a large pile
of these issues automatically.
