Interestingly I actually wasn't aware of LC's table field when I was working on the interface of my current app. Given all my previous work with LC was really about utilities that acted on something external and produced something external to the stack. Indeed I rarely made standalones being quite happy to use my tools while in the IDE. When I did think of the table field I saw it as nothing more than a way to display tab delimited text.
Where I have needed to use a table "like" field I have also wanted to have something more than just text involved. For example, a checkbox or a radio button. An image or some other control associated with a line of the table. The data grid makes this really quite easy, once you get your head around it. It is really useful to go through the examples in the Data Grid guide (the one included with LC 8.1+, not the one on the LC web site) and just follow along. The examples should all work as they had to be tested in order to create the images to match LC8+'s IDE. It is really worthwhile and doing them, rather than just reading through them takes a lot of the mystery out of the Data Grid and makes you appreciate what a phenomenal job Trevor did in creating it. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Goofy-question-about-Datagrids-tp4709954p4709976.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ 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
