It is a global property. I just set it via the message box.
Tried it, no difference.
set the repeatRate to 10
in the openCard handler with no effect
changed it to 0 with no effect.
Is there a particular place to use this?

You're right, modTableField doesn't have a built-in way to right justify a

In a sense it doesn’t matter if it is smooth enough. If the test was to click
and hold on scroll bar to page downwards, that should be a fair test across
tools. If LiveCode is managing 9 updates per second, and the others are
managing 15 per second, they are presumably faster at that task.

Would it speed things up by using the dgData command instead...? Its an array...
Again... Grasping at straws here... I've never seen a datagrid misbehave like
you've described... My apps use a LOT of datagrids and my tables are 100's of
thousands of records... I have one tab
My mistake, when I said fixed row height I meant all rows have the same height
of 25.

Hi,
Correct. one sqlite then dgText.
I have used the other (large data set) method in a previous attempt to improve
performance

it should be on no help here.

database
which I believe the DataGrid converts to an array for internal use storing at as

[row][“type”]

There are 3 behaviour scripts, for date, amount,
Yes, that was what I was thinking. I see you’re getting 9 per second with the
mouse.

LiveCode.
1. Scrolling with Page Up/Down keys 7.5 seconds
2. Scrolling with Page Up/Down via mouse 9 seconds.

I am a little confused by your suggestion.
All scrolling of the LC DataGrid is done by holding the mouse down in the
DataGrid scrollbar and not via. the keyboard.

LiveCode ends up being slower, but one possibility is that in the other two
cases the scrolling is happening if the key is pressed at the time, and in

Not because I have a solution but because it is also limited on the desktop.
