Re: DataGrid question...
Oh. Cool. I did not know you could do that! Can it do widgets (for svgs) and checkboxes too?

Re: DataGrid question...
The only issue with using a field is you are limited to character data presentation only. You can’t put inline images, widgets, checkboxes, etc. For HTML5 deployment I’ve ended up reinventing the wheel with a DataGridV3. I’ve gradually even made it quite generic in code so that it handles whatever data type and layout I throw at it. Still WIP. I should add in row and column freezes. At the moment it only vscrolls, so maybe when I add in hscroll functionality. I was Just saying to someone else, we need ‘someone’ fluent in LCB to create a DG widget. Allowing for customisation is the hard part. Sean Cole Pi Digital Productions Ltd eMail Ts & Cs > Not here. When all I need is a list I just use a list field.

Not here. When all I need is a list I just use a list field. Now that LC's field supports independent column alignment I haven't needed a DG for anything but forms. Parse out the first col with a "split by column", drop it into a control on the left, and you're good to go. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.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
Re: Getting HTML5 going
Sean: You are performing a noble task. After a hiatus, I’m back working on an educational app teaching plate tectonics. When I think of pitfalls of distributing an actual app, I fondly look at web distribution, like I used to be able to do with Director in shockwave. Anyway, I’d gladly pay well for the “How To” book that I hope will come out of your efforts. Best, Bill William A.

Re: DataGrid question...
I am with Bob on this. Oftentimes, just out of stubbornness, I will try to create a "native" solution to some problem. Native here means that I try to force, bend, cajole, whatever, the built-in functionality of LC to make an effect the way I want it. The stubbornness comes from trying to be as lean a possible. All that when, say, one more field placed in the right spot, and acting nicely will do the same thing. And usually with far less management and with far smaller scripts. I am trying to get better.

Yes your idea of a second object that scrolls with the data grid is the way to go. There is a message that gets sent to a data grid called scrollBarDrag. Trap for that then scroll your other object accordingly.

Using ODBC to connect to a MSSQL database
Hi all. I read in a thread a long while ago that someone was currently connecting to a MSSQL database via ODBC. Reading the dictionary, MSSQL is NOT one of the types of databases revOpenDatabase() can communicate with. I am right on the verge of creating an ODBC agent, but have hit this snag. Is anyone actually communicating with a MSSQL database via ODBC?

LiveCodeShare brief planned outage
Dear List Folks, LiveCodeShare is about to be offline for an hour or so while it makes it final move to our new server, having been repaired and updated to run on the 64bit OS. Once this is completed, this should be the final time it has to move, and it should resolve an observed problem with uploading large files it has suffered from for a month or two. Thank you for your patience, and don't worry, LiveCodeShare will be back with us shortly.
