Here is an example: function listDatagrids pObject local dataGridList repeat with i=1 to the number of groups of pObject if grp i of pObject is a datagrid then -- fix this line put whatever data on the datagrid & return after dataGridList -- fix this line else put listDataGrids(long ID of grp i of pObject) into childList if childList is not empty then put childList & return after dataGridList end if end repeat return dataGridList end listDataGrids
there are 2 lines you need to fix - one is how to tell a grp is a datagrid. I recall a property or API you can check, but didn't have the datagrid PDF handy. The other is whatever info (short name, long ID, etc. you want for each datagrid Call it with the long id of the card. As in: put listDatagrids(long id of cd x of stack y) into myListOfDatagrids On 10/4/2016 3:16 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > Hi all. > > Some time back someone had the need to enumerate every datagrid on a card > even if the datagrids were themselves grouped with other objects.
