In my case 2 columns. I want to hide column 1 and display just column 2. When a user selects something, the system is to return column 1.

You can use the rowtag though to hold the data, which is like having an invisible column. If you need to hold more than one piece of data, the rowtag is Variable so you can make a Class put all your properties into the class then put that into the rowtags.

Display column 1 sometimes.... and display column 2 at others.... _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX 10.6.4 RB2009r5.1 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 5 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
