(2nd try - yet another post that never made it the first time - sent with Mush, an old Unix text email program, no HTML as far as I know, trying again with Thunderbird choosing send in text only, fingers crossed)
Hi Trevor, More info: I am using the default template and not overriding the default column behavior, and I am not using a custom column template as far as I know. All I am doing is using a default data grid (with 9 columns, the only thing I set was the column labels) and filling in the data in one gulp by setting the dgtext of the group, and then, scanning through the data line by line, and cell by cell to see if that cell holds a valid value, then setting it to different text (such as 'not found') if it is not valid. The repeat loop was the part doing the scan. Are you saying, I either need to override the default behavior with a script, or, create a customized column template? I don't want every cell red in every column, just selected cells in selected columns. Is that possible? If I need to refer to the lessons on creating override behavior I can do that next. Sorry to be so dense. I was hoping there was maybe something simple like setting the color properties of a container variable with text in it and then putting it into a specific cell of the data grid with SetDataOfIndex or something like that. Not so simple I guess? Thank you again, Sadhu ...................
