Dear LiveCode & DGH Users, A new update for DGH is available.
In this version, DGH introduces the capability to apply numbers formatting to a column. A new "Format" topic has been added in the column builder's properties. This topic regroups 3 DGH's special properties for the datagrid object: - the format pattern (experimental) - the thousands separator - the decimal separator (default is .) The pattern property allows the definition of three patterns separated by commas: - one for positive numbers - one for negative numbers - one for zero values This pattern supports the following symbols: - spaces: separator (replaced by the thousands separator property) - # Digit placeholder. This code does not display extra zeros. - 0 Digit placeholder. This code pads the value with zeros to fill the format. - . Decimal number (replaced by the decimal separator property) - $ - + / ( ) : - [color] where color is any color name supported by the LiveCode syntax. A format, only changes the way a number is displayed in the column. The corresponding number remains unchanged in the data. This means one can continue sorting a column or edit the full number, as if the format was not existing in the cell. For more informations about this feature please read these two lessons: - one for formatting numbers in DGH: http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4068/l/39269-How-Do-I-Format-a-Number-in-a-Column- - one for building a pattern: http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4068/l/39268-How-Do-I-Create-a-Formatting-Pattern-for-a-Column- Any feedback for improving this feature will be appreciated. This new version has also the following fix and changes: Fix: - DGH no longer trying to apply some properties to a deleted or closed datagrid - The Columns sorting script installer was broken in the 1.3.5 version. This is fixed in 1.4 - Fix a column confusion in the DGH's column builder, when the first line was not the column name - Sorting by date/time was not properly got in the column builder. - Fix a problem with the truncated contents of a cell when one used the tab key for navigating in a datagrid. Change: Setting the scrollbar width of a datagrid working now as expected. Note that only values between 1 to 20 are working. 20 represents the auto value accepted by the datagrids property: dgProp["scrollbar width"] If you have not tried DGH yet, a trial version free for 30 days can be downloaded here: http://www.aslugontheroad.com/index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&id=12:trial&Itemid=63 You can also reach the Data Grid Helper plugin on the LiveCode Marketplace: http://www.runrev.com/store/product/data-grid-helper-1-2-0/ Hope you will enjoy this new version.
