Re: Polygrid or polylist as datagrid form replacement?

Thanks Andreas – that lesson explains how it works for Mark much more clearly than I could in the space of an email. Form datagrids are great but they can be a bit slow to render when they contain a lot of stuff. I use them to create fairly complex asssessment feedback reports (PDFs) to student

Re: Polygrid or polylist as datagrid form replacement?

So, Terry is correct: Polygrid and Polylist currently have fixed/uniform row heights. I hope that might be enhanced one day. So if variable row height is a requirement, you’ll have to stick with the Datagrid for now. This was also discussed in the Forum last year, including hints on how to achi

I believe he is talking about form style datagrids. Form style has row templates that can be coded dynamically. To my knowledge, table style only have column templates. Bob S > On Aug 16, 2024, at 3:02 AM, Mark Smith via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Terry, I can’t answer your question but

Re: Polygrid or polylist as datagrid form replacement?

There are a great many things you can do with a datagrid that you cannot do with a polygrid. From what I have been able to gather, the main advantage to using a polygrid is that they perform better than a datagrid. But their list of properties that you can get and set are what I would call minim

Hi Terry, I can’t answer your question but I am curious if you have any code you use to dynamically resize the row height in a datagrid. I am very interested in doing this. Thanks Mark Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 16, 2024, at 7:35 AM, Terry Judd via use-livecode > wrote: > > I’ve been usi

yes, the dg does have all of these properties. i'm replacing a dg with a pg. dg's work on mobile, too. the scrolling can sometimes be a little hairy and jerky, but it does work. until the pg, nearly every project we built for mobes had at least one dg in them. i'm doing this because this project is

Re: polygrid formatted column width

Can I just say that the Datagrid does have all these properties? What is the big advantage that would make Polygrids a better choice? Is it because they are Mobile friendly? Faster for large datasets? Easier to work with (apparently not unless by easier one means less properties that you can man

Re: polygrid formatted column width

You have the dataWidth of the polygrid for the formattedWidth of the widget (to be wide enough to display all data), but what I think you want is some equivalent of the fomattedWidth of each column. I don't believe any such property exists in the polygrid. It would be like setting the columnWid

Thanks Klaus. I may use this method rather than the overhead of clearing and setting the whole pgData property. Actually, the more I think about it, neither "method" should be needed. This is a polygrid bug. If you set the pgColumsn to fewer column, regardless of whether there is left over d
