Sannyasin: "I’m looking again seriously at Listboxes as a replacement for ALP. It’s close, but there’s a couple things that don’t quite work well in Listboxes for heavy data editing. I do both the programming and the data editing for this, so little glitches and funky UI things make a difference!"
I haven't delved into LB's at much depth. Part of it is that ALP does what I need it to do and, to their credit, LB's are an easy transition from grouped scrollable areas. Having done multiple"no new features" upgrades from legacy versions of 4D this year, I appreciate that. In contrast, I worked on a project where LB's were required (ALP was not allowed) and it was absolutely clear that "the little glitches and funky UI things make a difference" to the point of having to figure out a *lot* of work arounds. I offered to buy ALP for the client but they were adamant so the UI was limited but chacun a son gout. BTW, converting the array to a text array and keeping the numeric array hidden might be your best bet. If LB's offer calculated columns, that would be a piece of cake. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Sat, Sep 23, 2017 at 8:10 PM, Sannyasin Siddhanathaswami via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Me too!
