Datagrid Question

I have a datagrid with several columns, column 4 of which contains a number. Under the datagrid I have placed a field that keeps a total of the values in this column. I would like this field to match the width of column 4 and align itself directly under it so that if a user changes the column w

I’m trying to set up the dataGrid to put the cell contents in another field, for editing, when I click on it. Some of the cells may contain a fair amount of text, and I won’t be able to edit it in the cell itself. The tutorials refer to the revDataGridLibrary. Can’t find it. Or could the

DataGrid question...

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 a

Hi Marty, Best I can think of is to get the dgProps["column widths"] property of the datagrid. It contains a comma-delimited list of the widths of the columns so by adding up the first 3 items of the list, you'll get the left edge of the 4th column, and adding the first 4 items of that list, you'l

Hi Marty, Just posted a more specific way to do this using the LayoutControl handler of the datagrid's custom behavior. If you're not familiar with setting up custom behaviors: - go to the Columns tab of the inspector for the datagrid - highlight your column 4 - click the plus sign at the bottom

Thanks for explanation. So if I have set a column to be non-editable and I create a custom behavior for it, it will become editable? How about if the datagrid itself has been set to be non-editable? Just trying to get a handle on this since I couldn't find anything in the datagrid docs about it.
