Oh. Cool. I did not know you could do that! Can it do widgets (for svgs) and checkboxes too? Sean Cole Pi Digital > On 25 Mar 2020, at 03:56, Mark Wieder via use-livecode > wrote: > > On 3/24/20 6:43 PM, Pi Digital via use-livecode wrote: >> The only issue with using a field is you are

The only issue with using a field is you are limited to character data presentation only. You can’t put inline images, widgets, checkboxes, etc. For HTML5 deployment I’ve ended up reinventing the wheel with a DataGridV3. I’ve gradually even made it quite generic in code so that it handles

Sean: You are performing a noble task. After a hiatus, I’m back working on an educational app teaching plate tectonics. When I think of pitfalls of distributing an actual app, I fondly look at web distribution, like I used to be able to do with Director in shockwave. Anyway, I’d gladly pay well

I am with Bob on this. Oftentimes, just out of stubbornness, I will try to create a "native" solution to some problem. Native here means that I try to force, bend, cajole, whatever, the built-in functionality of LC to make an effect the way I want it. The stubbornness comes from trying to be as

Using ODBC to connect to a MSSQL database

2020-03-24 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
Hi all. I read in a thread a long while ago that someone was currently connecting to a MSSQL database via ODBC. Reading the dictionary, MSSQL is NOT one of the types of databases revOpenDatabase() can communicate with. I am right on the verge of creating an ODBC agent, but have hit this snag.

I did something along these lines some time ago. I needed check boxes to the left of a data grid that scrolled with the grid but remained visible. Yes your idea of a second object that scrolls with the data grid is the way to go. There is a message that gets sent to a data grid called

Has anyone come up with a way to configure a DataGrid (LC9) so that the left most column remains visible when the other columns are scrolled horizontally? Or is the only way to to do this is to have a separate field to the left of the DataGrid that holds the left column? Anyone solved this
