Hi Peter, Are you sure you are selecting the row template group? By chance do you have Select Grouped active in the toolbar? If it is then you are selecting one of the controls in the group and not the group itself. I have a default column behavior script which I use for all my datagrids. Those created under 4.0 correctly execute the various handlers in that script but any created under 4.5 never execute any of the handlers in that script (the default column behavior is set to the correct button). Hard to say without knowing more details. What troubleshooting steps have you taken thus far? I see two new handlers in the default column behavior supplied with LiveCode - PreFillinData and ResetData. What are some uses for these handlers? These two messages are for advanced use cases where you need to know that data is being unloaded from a row/column. For example, let's say you dynamically create player objects in rows of a data grid when the user clicks a play button to sample a song. If the user then scrolls that row out of view you might want to do something with the player object you created dynamically. PreFillinData would allow you to do that. I also saw a recent post to this list regarding some new built in drag and drop reordering handlers in the default script - they don't appear in my default script. There is no code that goes in the default script. I haven't documented the drag/drop routines officially but I have posted examples of using it to the list. I have yet to go through the routines and ensure that I'm completely happy with the API so they remain undocumented until I do so. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems ScreenSteps: http://www.screensteps.com Releasable Revolution Resources for Developers: http://revolution.bluemangolearning.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
LiveCode Datagrid Questions
I'm having a number of issues with datagrids created in LiveCode 4.5. Datagrids created by Revolution 4.0 still work fine. I am unable to create custom column behaviors for any columns using the recommended method. I click the plus sign for the column, the card with the row template is displayed, I select the row template group but the Edit Group button in the toolbar or on the Object menu is greyed out and doesn't function. If I select the card containing the template for the datagrid, then select the Row Template group, the Edit Group command is available to me. I have a default column behavior script which I use for all my datagrids.

I also saw a recent post to this list regarding some new built in drag and drop reordering handlers in the default script - they don't appear in my default script. I have been using the Data Group Handler plugin. I have removed it from the Plugins folder in the Application bundle but these problems did not go away. Any answers much appreciated.

Peter, To clarify things about DGH (Data Grid Helper): 1) About interaction with the IDE. - DGH traps double click and click ONLY on datagrid groups. - it interacts with the LiveCode's inspector ONLY for the objects in its template area. 2) About scripts - DGH build scripts to fill column behaviors but it is not able to change how the datagrid library performs. 3) About templates - DGH uses its own way to edit the templates of a datagrid in a special area and never directly in the datagrid template it edits. - DGH not uses the IDE to edit templates. So DGH is not capable to generate the issues you describe: - group capability disable in the IDE (menu and toolbar) - handlers not working in a behavior script Regards, -- -Zryip TheSlug- wish you the best! 8) http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: LiveCode Datagrid Questions (zryip theSlug)
I understand. I wasn't placing any blame on DGH. I always de-install any third party products when trying to troubleshoot weird issues like this and the problems still exist when DGH is not installed so no blame on DGH.
