I may have asked you before I don't remember. I had a friend a long time ago named Jim Sims who used to have a handyman business in So Cal. Would that be you? Bob Sneidar On Aug 4, 2013, at 9:21 AM, Jim sims wrote: > Solved - i think > > Just in case somone else has a similar issue here is w

Solved - i think Just in case somone else has a similar issue here is what i did. At scrollerBeginDrag i set the filenames of the images to empty but kept text field text. At scrollerEndDrag i reloaded the filenames into the images. These images are all thumbnails so they load very quickly, plu

I'm pretty sure now that it isn't the loading of images that is the problem. I added code that verifies when all thumbnail images are loaded. When i have only a few images the group scrolls well - up and down all i want. When i have many more images (say 20 instead of 7) then the group starts to

Yes, 'load' I'm glad you were able to take my vague suggestion and clarify it! Clarified it for me, too :- ) If you are using LC version 6 then John's suggestion of 'prepare image' sounds great. -- Scott On Aug 4, 2013, at 4:27 AM, Jim sims wrote: > Thanks for the reply Scott, > > You m

Thanks for the reply Scott, You must be referring to "load" as in "load URL bla blah" Didn't think that was ok on iOS but reading the dictionary it sounds "sort of ok" - done without liburl in the background. Will give it a shot and see. Am in Venice, swapped my flat (flat for flat) for this ex

Jim, have you tried caching the images to the device first and then pointing at the cached files? (I don't believe this has anything to do with dataGrid or not dataGrid.) -- Scott Morrow On Aug 4, 2013, at 3:13 AM, Jim sims wrote: > Thank for the reply Gerry, > > Well they want to add and re

Thank for the reply Gerry, Well they want to add and remove files a lot so they also adjust a tab delim text file (not an issue here) and upload files as needed. The problem seems to be when the scroll takes place after the images/filenames are loaded. I have played with datagrids before but thi

Data grids are not all that complex once you get the hang of them. But I'm guessing that the link to online images is your weak spot. Can't they be located in the device? Gerry On Sun, Aug 4, 2013 at 7:48 PM, Jim sims wrote: > The iPad app has a set of groups like this: > Each group has 3 co

The iPad app has a set of groups like this: Each group has 3 controls Image - text field - text field I made 80 of these (3 part) groups and then grouped them all so they scroll with an iOS scroller. If i do not set the filename of the image control objects it will scroll with no problem on the
