Re: Getting Data Grid props
Answering my own question: put the dgProps [row height] of group Data Grid works fine, but: put the dgProps [column margins] of group Data Grid does not?

Hi Paul, I just dropped a data grid onto a card, selected it and executed the following in the message box: put the dgProps[column margins] of selobj() I saw 8 appear. Are you getting empty?

Re: Getting Data Grid props
Trevor, You are keeping late hours. The reason for my question about the margins is: I use a 15 pixel dimension grid for laying out the objects in the stacks in my business system. Thus all fields have a line height of 15. This is smaller than the default data grid, so I have to change change the row height to 15 and the margins to 5. I was doing the margins with a repeat loop, but, obviously the column margins is faster. Thank you, again. It would be nice to be able to set the column margins in the Text formatting panel of the Object Inspector - as one does with non-grid fields.

I've was traveling on the west coast for the last week and a half so
my internal clock is all messed up.

change the row height to 15 and the margins to 5.

Yes, there are still some properties that need to be added to the
property inspector in a future version and some others that need to be
fleshed out more.
For example, setting the color Header ('header background color') or
Header hilite ('header background hilite color') of a data grid
table in the Property Inspector allows for a single solid color. When
using the API you can actually set those properties to:
a) a solid color
b) two colors, one per line
c) a fillGradient array
(a) is the standard way to set colors on a Rev control. (b) takes the
two colors you pass in and creates a gradient for you automatically so
you don't have to worry about working with the fillGradient property.
(c) is for complete control as it allows you to customize the gradient
displayed in the header using the fillGradient array.
It would be nice to have UI for (b) and (c), or at least for (b). For
now you can just do something like this:
set the dgProps[header background color] of group Data Grid to
125,125,125 cr 240,240,240
