Power Table row selection issue

Ignition
1

I am using a Power Table with Cell Bindings to display a large number of signals that are constantly changing. The user needs to be able to click on a row in the table to select it. If the values being displayed in the Power Table are static the selection process works fine. However, if user presses the mouse and while they still have the mouse button down the values in the Power Table update, it will go from highlighting the row where they clicked to the previously selected row. Since I have a large number of signals that are constantly changing being displayed, even if the time the mouse button is held down is brief, there is still a high chance of at least one value in the table changing.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? is there a setting I can change or a workaround?

There is no work-around so long as the table's dataset is changing. (I never use cell update bindings due to pathological behavior like this.)

I would replace the column holding the tag values with a dummy column. Create appropriate scripts or bindings (I recommend my Toolkit's tags() expression function) that populates a custom dataset property on the table with the live tag values. Simplest if same number of rows as the table's data. Then use the configureCell extension method to supply the appropriate content for that column display from the corresponding row of the live values custom property.
