My first real play with Datagrids and I have to say I'm very impressed. After sorting out the display and getting the first set of data into the DG (which all went very smoothly - much better than expected) I went to implement a Next and Previous buttons to move through chunks of data. To do this I duplicated the Next and Previous btns on a different Card and then using the Project Browser dragged the duplicates, one at a time, to the Card with the DG. Unfortunately, for reasons I can't explain, the Previous btn ended up on the Card, but the Next btn ended up as part of the DG.
I've now spent quite a lot of time trying to drag the Next btn out of the DG and onto the Card but with no success. The 'owner' is a read only property and there is no hint on how to scriptually achieve a change of ownership. I'm looking at the Menu -> Object -> Ungroup Selected with fear and boding. Foolishly I didn't start my DG experiment with 2 fields and an image as per the online Lesson, but with 56 fields and some graphics in a rather complex split level display. Looking at the Application/Project Browser I see there are A LOT of objects associated with my DG that I didn't put there. So admitting I have no clue as to the internal workings of the DG the last thing I want to do is Ungroup Selected and have it all break. Any help very much appreciated. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
