Hi All, I have to say that I haven't really taken to the data grid. I recognise that it is an awesome piece of work from Trevor, but to me, it's too difficult to use to be a true Xtalk thing. So I looked at the tutorials in the beginning, but didn't actually implement it, except in a very simple way that was mainly to take advantage of the column sorting.
Now I have an app that needs more sophisticated use of the data grid: custom sorting, displaying icons in one columns, differing column alignments etc. I have been working my way through what I need, referring to Trevor's excellent lessons whenever I got lost. So I was able to implement a custom sort and I have a variable image displayed in one column (although I am having transparency issues). My real problem came when I had a column with an image. The column header was "Type" but the column data (one of a set of images) was only 20 pixels across, so I wanted to reduce the header width to allow the column to reduce to the minimum of 20 pixels. I naively thought that setting the column header to empty would work, but this was a BIG MISTAKE! DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! This results in an un-editable column and every click throws a data grid error. Now I have to go back to an archive copy - thankfully I use tRev which archives regularly, but I know I have quite a bit of scripting that will not be in the archives, so I will have to re-create that. So, Trevor: it would be better not to allow an empty column header if this is going to cause irretrievable errors. And to everyone else: don't set data gird column headers to empty.
