Hey there Sorry to post such a terribly n00bish question. I’m right at the beginning of my JUCE journey, still going through the tutorials. 16 lessons in I have hit my first wall. [https://docs.juce.com/master/tutorial\_table\_list\_box.html](https://docs.juce.com/master/tutorial_table_list_box.html) From the description and instructions I’m expecting the compiled result to allow text-editing of the table cells. I’ve yet to see this work though. Has anyone else had this issue? Or am I somehow expecting the wrong thing? Any thoughts or advice on this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance and best wishes, Jeff MacOS/Mojave/JUCE5.41/Xcode10.1 ---

you probably need to revisit your code for the tutorial section about custom components and setting the label to be editable. ---

Thanks for the quick reply Matkatmusic. Hmmm That’s exactly what I would have said. However, I’ve been over it multiple times now and am still getting the same result. setEditable (false, true, false); line should make a label editable with double click and maintain uncommitted changes on a clickaway. It’s certainly worked that way elsewhere. It’s also already set as that in the tutorial .h file. Has anyone here compiled this tutorial as downloaded, with no modifications, using Xcode10.1/macOS with JUCE 5.4.1? Would love to hear if the compiled macOS executable works for you. Many thanks!

In the tutorial code there is this line: ``` table.getHeader().setColumnVisible (8, false); ``` I’m not sure why it’s there, but column 8 is the editable column. If you remove that line then you’ll see it. I’ll update the tutorial. ---

OK, I’ve updated things but it’ll take 24 hours or so to refresh on the web. ---

Hi Tom Ah, I glanced at the line but should have commented it out as a test. Thanks very much for looking at this so quickly. The support is much appreciated, as are these superb tutorials! Btw are you the Tom from here? ![XcodeResource](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/juce/original/2X/0/0569e54ae8937dd010c944738d303d271b68dde5.jpeg) All the best, Jeff ---

Yep, unfortunately that’s me. I’ll get that removed too! ---

Heh all good. I didn’t mind that actually. Was oddly comforting to know that I was following in an actual persons footsteps. 🙂
