Hi All,
Okay, I am at a loss. I have a stack with several cards... On one card I have a
custom data grid form with graphics and several text fields... What I want to
do is copy the data grid and then paste it onto another card--which works fine.
The problem is, I am unclear about how to create
ard id of the new card, then
change the dgProps["Row Template"] property of the second datagrid to refer
to the new group/card. At that point, you can modify the second datagrid's
template as you wish without affecting the first datagrid.
Hope that helps,
