I am not sure this is a BUG. It is certainly an inconsistency and
changing it would break some current code. On the other hand, the
Polygrid is part of the widget set for Xavvi/Livecode Create and the
goal for that tool is to have things be super easy and super intuitive
for beginners (non-code or low-code app building) so I think beginners
would find thsi jarring.
So, is it a bug? What does the community think?
I'd say it's definitely not a bug.
It may be a "missing feature". There is an asymmetry, in that there are
ways to
- extract one row
- delete one row
but only
- add multiple rows.
You could make a case for adding a feature to "add a single row". But I
wouldn't bother, because it's already so easy - see below.
You suggested converting by
repeat for each key tKey in sColSubtotalArray
put sColSubtotalArray[tKey] into tA[1][tKey]
end repeat
-- tA is now in the format that the addDataAfter property of the
Polygrid requires.
The latest LC has the additional feauture of "automatic" sequences; i.e.
put [ sColSubtotalArray ] into tA
So, in fact you would simply do
put the numberOfRows of widget "rwTableview" into N
set the pgInternalPointer of widget "rwTableview" to N
set the addDataAfter of widget "rwTableview" to [
sColSubtotalArray]
