this is fantastic news and I think I will join you for the LiveCode Global
Jam
If this works it opens a whole new way to present data easily, without any
hacks.

Kind regards
Bernd

Where could we download a demo stack? :)


As soon as you make one. :)

The feature hasn't been released yet, so none of us have had a chance to 
build anything with that yet.

The "table" object is a LiveCode field with special cell-editing 
provided with an overlay field; in all other respects it has only the 
same features any multi-column LiveCode field has, which historically 
prevented independent column alignment.


The DataGrid is great, but ideally for forms. Beyond the convenient 
headers, the list mode is really just a very complex way to work around 
not having independent column alignment in native fields.


With the field object now supporting independent column alignment, we 
get attractive super-efficient, super-simple displays for columnar data 
that may include numeric values.

Hi Mike - yeah it hadn't occurred to me that maybe you could 'fake' full
justification with a multi-column LC7 table (DOH) - maybe it would do it, it
would need some finessing though. 

I'm not sure if LC7 will be stable enough for my client's timetable - but
will look out for any proposals that involve exclusive use of LC7!

Kind regards

Dave

I wondered when somebody would notice! It turned out that something similar was 
required to solve a bug with RTL text layout in the presence of tabs so it made 
sense to turn it into a feature. Any bug-finding you do will be greatly 
appreciated - in my tests, it cooperates properly with paragraph alignment and 
the like but I'm sure there are subtle combinations that I've missed!

Help me out, please:  why not just use a table or a dg?  Is it just to make
it easier to build reports instead of using a report writer/builder?
