Re: How to tell when a datagrid column has been resized

The problem is you want put to evaluate the variable, but the way you're entering it, livecode evaluates it BEFORE the do. if you just on mouseup put field 1 into fo do put foo into field 2 end mouseup it will work. do put foo into field 2 is the same as put foo into field 2 the other way
