Re: Set Line color in dG?

2020-06-16 Thread zryip theSlug via use-livecode
Assuming the lesson you have taken in example is the following:
http://lessons.livecode.com/m/datagrid/l/7332-how-can-i-colorize-individual-lines-in-a-table

Code for coloring rows is located in the button "My column default
behavior".
The code you shared is located in the "toggle line 3 color" but it is not
enough for coloring a datagrid row. Having a row in color is not a standard
datagrid feature. So that is the reason you have to change the  "default
column" behavior script of your datagrid.

Do you have copied the  "My column default behavior" button in your project
and if yes, do you have linked your datagrid to this button by using the
code?

 set the dgProp["default column behavior"] of grp "myDatagrid" to the long
id of btn " My column default behavior " or what ever you named your column
behavior script button.

where  "myDatagrid" is the name of your datagrid.

Hope I'm more clear in my explanation.

Re: Set Line color in dG?

2020-06-16 Thread Prothero-ELS via use-livecode
Zryp,
Crap, accidentally sent the response without finishing.

I was checking that the code in my test button was actually talking to the 
datagrid in question, and it returned the correct values, so I assumed it was. 

I don’t understand how “myBtn” would participate. I need to change colors from 
some other script.

Best,
Bill

Re: Set Line color in dG?

2020-06-16 Thread Prothero-ELS via use-livecode
Zryp,
What I wanted to do is make a distinction between data that was retrieved from 
a database and data that was entered but not yet stored. A datagrid is. Way 
overkill for what I’m doing, but  the button that accesses the datagrid 
data to get the specific line is for testing only.

Bill,

The example you mention is probably using a custom column behavior script
for accomplishing this.
Do you have copied the button in your project? The button must be linked to
your datagrid by using the following code:

set the dgProp["default column behavior"] of grp "myDatagrid" to the long
id of btn "myBtn"
