Re: Nice news for builders of financial apps
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?

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!

Re: Nice news for builders of financial apps
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!

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. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
