editing a table

in cell editing

You can click on a cell and start editing in the cell.

If the cell is an external key or the possible values are limited and known then a combo box is presented. This will prevent you from making typing errors and keep referential integrity among tables.

line editing

Sometimes not all the information is visible in a cell and editing can become cumbersome. Therefor is the cell value displayed in the line at the top of the view.

Changes made in this line will be made permanent after the enter key is pressed. This is also a way to override the combo box style of cell editing when using external keys.
