I started out thinking I would make a multi-dimensional listbox, but I have found them to be complicated and, also, possibly not the best option in terms of efficiency. I also thought I could simply make a one-dimensional list box, but have found that route to be impractical, as well. Ultimately, I admit, I am new to computer programming, so there may be a relatively simple way to use either a one-dimensional or multi-dimensional listbox, but if there are simpler routes I should take or if it would somehow be possible to use arrays, I would appreciate any bits of knowledge that any of those of you who have been doing this longer can afford to me. I'm essentially trying to make this spreadsheet shown below. It will have 6 columns, and I would like users to be able to add or delete rows as they feel necessary. I appreciate any input. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesi ... dsheet.gif First Name Last Name Gender Address E-mail Phone # Jenk Uygur Male 920-867-5309 Ana Kasparian Female 920-987-6543 Ben Mankiewicz Male 920-876-5432 Jesus Godoy Male 920-765-4321 Andrew Napier Male 920-654-3210 Top jefftullin Post subject: Re: Attempting to make editable spreadsheetPosted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 2:12 am Joined: Wed Nov 15, 2006 3:50 pm Posts: 2230 Location: England The multi-column listbox should do all you need. You can set the cells to be inline editable. There is a (quite old) tutorial page that includes a discussion of that jere http://www.applelinks.com/rbu/012/ Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 2 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
