Re: Custom property retrieval incorrect

Those are exactly the two values I get too. The earliest version of LC I currently have installed is 9.6.7 and it happens there and in three newer versions after that. A custom property named "cVers" works okay. But I've been using "cVersion" for years and years, so not sure what the ripple eff

This is probably a totally goofy reply, but here goes: I just set up a stack with a graphic: grc "diamond" in LC 7.1.4 and then typed this into the Message Box: set the "GRUNT" of grc "diamond" to 123 and that, automagically created the property "GRUNT" and filled in its value. I saved the

Re: Custom Property Data Limit?

I just did a test and 200,000 records in my data set (stored as a tab delimited custom property) results in a stack of about 46mb. That's well under the 4 gig limit that you mention. But it takes a long time to load in a datagrid! I have questions about that so I'll start another thread. Thank

Re: Custom Property Data Limit?

Yes, my idea has always been to limit my queries to a certain number of records, and then have some transparent method for paging, but this other method of updating the datagrid via callbacks intrigues me. Bob On Dec 2, 2011, at 3:01 AM, Bernard Devlin wrote: > You wouldn't necessarily need

Some years back I was working with a few joined tables in a commercially available relational database. Making certain queries across these joined tables became unusably slow as the size of the tables increased (I can't remember the numbers, but certainly in the millions, possibly billions). As t

Oh I see, so that is a method for displaying large amounts of data if you think that you may overwhelm the datagrid with too much data. Interesting. Bob On Dec 1, 2011, at 4:25 PM, Michael Doub wrote: > Bob, > > Using the GetDataForLine Callback is the technique that I was referring to > t

Re: Custom Property Data Limit?

Or just use revDataFromQuery with the columns in your SELECT statement in the same order as the datagrid columns then set the dgtext of the datagrid to the returned value. If you're using a datagrid to store your data, there doesn't seem much point in creating a cursor... Pete On Thu, Dec 1, 2011

I do not know what that means. At any rate, let me remind everyone that sqlYoga produces arrays that are compatible with datagrids, so that a simple query for all the records or even a subset of records, and then set the dgData of group "myDataGrid" to theDataA or something of the sort. for up

Re: Custom Property Question

It would be a line that looks something like this: Set the myCustomProperty of button "MyButton" to field "MyField" That actual name of the custom property can be just about anything, but it needs to be a single word. You do not have to precreate custom properties of objects. When you set them,

Hi Charles, I'm not sure what you want, but this is the syntax to store data from a field in a custom property: set the cCustomPropertyName of control "Some Control" to fld "Field Name" (control can also be card or stack). -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Softwa
