Re: Sorting [was: Polygrid sorting]
Perhaps some expansion of the column "pgContentTypeofColumn" property? The current possible values are: text|svg-lcname|imagedata|imagefile|color|boolean|autoincrement Allowing the addition of 'numeric' and 'datetime' would at least allow a mapping to sorts although sort support 'international' (perhaps should be the default for a polygrid column of type "text" and "binary". I am also not sure how svg-iconname, imagedata, imagefile, and color should sort. Perhaps svg-iconname should sort as "text". Bolean can sort as "text" since ascending puts "false" first and descending puts "true" first.

Re: Sorting [was: Polygrid sorting]
Datagrids have this feature, so yes, I would expect there to be some way to specify what kind of sort you want to do. But it would have to be on a per column basis. But if you are sorting the text yourself, you can use the syntax: sort lines of tText by item n of each. I don't think any assumptions should be made by the engine as to what kind of data each column contains. I worked with an accounting system many years ago which had numeric invoice numbers, or so it seemed. Once you created a credit memo, it prepended R to the invoice number.

Hi Craig. It's not a popup menu it's a combo box. I do use popup menus and those work as advertized. When I click to expand a combo box menu, it I get the list of items, and if I click an item, it correctly selects that item.

Re: Polygrid sorting (problems)
So there is an example of sorting in the PolyGrid documentation under the entry for the MESSAGE "headerClick" and under the entry to the PROPERTY "text" (and in 'the text of me') The example code only sort the visible rows as "the text of widget X" returns the data of PolyGrid X as tab delimited, WITHOUT the column headers, but ONLY the visible rows. So, what to use for sorting all the data in a PolyGrid by a particular column? The tsvData of widget X (and csvData, and Text) doesn't seem to work. The all seems to only get the visible data (rows). Only the pgData of widget return the whole dataset of the PolyGrid. Is this the way these properties are supposed to work? If that is how text, csvData, and tsvData are supposed to work (returning only the visible rows), then the sort example in the PolyGrid documentation require updating otherwise these properties require updating!

Some customers can have quite large data sets and I have been running into the number of columns (ad a default width of 100px per column) exceeding a GROUPs 32,767px width maximum (about 327-328 columns). At this point the Datagrid just fails - no data is displayed. I can now attest that a Polygrid (under LC 9.6.8) does not have this limit. I have a "test" stack (for Datagrid testing) I converted to the Polygrid and can easily generate 1000 columns x 1000 rows of data and it works. So I guess the answer to bug https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23875 is "Use the PolyGrid" On that note, the Datagrid has 2 features I use in this specific case, user column resizing (built into the Polygrid - Yea!) and column sorting (NOT built into the Polygrid - Boo!). So, does anyone have some column sort code for the Polygrid they have written that they might be willing to share? Also, I have filled a Polygrid enhancement request to allow the left column (or the left N columns) to be locked/frozen, so they remain visible when the Polygrid is scrolled horizontally. See https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23880.

Polygrid sorting
So, I bought the Summer Bundle. Yes, it is a good deal. In my case it was primarily for the Polygrid widget. Our application uses a Datagrid to display customer research data. The columns headers are text and the left most column ROWs are test and all other cells are numbers. Some customers can have quite large data sets and I have been running into the number of columns (ad a default width of 100px per column) exceeding a GROUPs 32,767px width maximum (about 327-328 columns). At this point the Datagrid just fails - no data is displayed. I can now attest that a Polygrid (under LC 9.6.8) does not have this limit.

Re: Shouldn't space or enter in a menu select the hilited item?
Hi, I was not complete. Once the arrow keys have found the menuItem of interest, clicking Enter or Return executes the menuPick handler.

Re: Shouldn't space or enter in a menu select the hilited item?

Ina mouseUp handler in another button: on mouseUp click at the loc of btn 1 end mouseUp Once the menu is open, the up and down arrow keys navigate among the menuItems.

Re: More Server Silliness -- Nevermind
Using Firefox developer tools, found out jquery was not loading property. Hangs head in shame at rookie mistake... Still not working properly, but continue to poke at it.

Has anyone using LC Server gotten that ajax sample to work??
