dgToolTip Snippet

Hi all. If anyone is interested, I have a working version of a datagrid tooltip handler. It requires the arrayToText handler as written but that can be replaced by another function of your choosing that takes an array and returns some kind of text representation of it. (printKeys comes to mind

I just compiled a Mac standalone. App works in the IDE. I get this error when I point at a datagrid control. This is my new function for displaying a tooltip when pointing at a datagrid record. The error "Chunk: error in range start expression" is what throws me. I am passing the long ID of th

Re: Set the tooltip of a datagrid

Well I just discovered an amazing thing. You can get the dgData of a CONTROL of a datagrid and it still returns the data. For instance if you know that the dgLine you want is 3 and the control name is siteid 0003, you can put the dgDataOfLine [3] of field "siteid 0003" into aData and you will
