Hi Matthias, I'm taking all remarks as opportunities to improve myself and my products, so I was not offended 8-)
This was not the first time a DGH user was not aware of a DGH's feature, so I will work on a different strategy for informing users about what my products are doing. As promised, here is a link to a new DGH lesson: http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4068/l/277255-how-do-i-apply-the-properties-of-a-datagrid-to-another-datagrid Best Regards, On Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 1:11 AM, Matthias Rebbe | M-R-D <matthias_livecode_150...@m-r-d.de> wrote: > Hi Zryip, > > first of all my question about hidden features was not intended as criticism. > Please excuse if this seemed. > I know DGH as a really powerful tool which saved me much time in past. > > >> Am 06.11.2014 um 21:06 schrieb zryip theSlug <zryip.thes...@gmail.com>: >> >> Matthias, >> >> The window opened by the 3 dots button should float over the DGH >> palette window and wait for your click.
