Data Crid - set the dgNumberOfRecords

I am using a table form of data grid and trying to display the records using a cursor and then setting the dgNumberOfRecords. I am able to get the cursor and the record count of the cursor and I can get dgNumberOfRecords before I set dgNumberOfRecords. I want to set dgNumberOfRecords so the recor

Mike, Well explained... Just when I learned the power of LC array the fact that a box could only contain a data item OR other boxes is what bit me. I actually coded up a mini storm and it wasn't until I start testing that I figured this out. At the time I couldn't think of a reason why LC coul

Re: ABC of arrays

I'm one who uses visualization to get a handle on things like arrays. For me, arrays are just a bunch of nested boxes. And a box can contain other boxes, or a dataitem, but not both. So if you get the keys of myArray you've just looked into the first box to see whats there. If there are no keys

Hi Malte The engine can now load a text file as a stack. If you use the livecodescript extension I think newer versions will launch the file at some point. All you need to do is write this on the first line: stack "libDate" It might be worth modifying libDate so the current libDate stack is jus

Graham, I think one of the things that is confusing you as you are trying to learn arrays is the fact that you are looking at output created by ConvertXMLToArray. ConvertXMLToArray is working as designed, but it just happens to create key in a syntax that looks like a livecode array referen

Richard, forgive me for just extracting a bit of your interesting mail. I see that the real issue is with the idea of sub-arrays, which have their own sets of keys. You emphatically do not get a list of all the keys of an array with subarrays in it from the ‘put the keys’ action. I modified your

Yes I do, because the LC dictionary does not qualify ‘the keys’ in any way. It just says: > returns a list of the element names in an array variable It doesn’t suggest that an ‘array variable’ can’t be multi-dimensionl - in fact we know that it can. So maybe I’m just looking at a documentatio
