Polygrid questions

2023-08-22 Thread Paul Dupuis via use-livecode 

I see I have the properties of a polygrid for:

pgColumns -- an array of all column properties

and

pgColumnWidths -- a comma delimited list of widths

There does not seem to be a distinct property just for alignments, such 
as pgColumnAlignments


What I need to do is change the width and/or alignment of a specific 
column (that can change which column based on data). I can se no way of 
doing this other than repopulating the pgColumns array


If I try

set the pgColumnWidths of widget "rwTableview" to 
"300,75,75,75,75,75,75,75,75"


for example, that seems to have no effect.

If I try to just change one element of the column array, such as

put "300" into tArray[1]["width"]; set the pgColumns of widget 
"rwTableview" to tArray, it replaces all the other column information 
(names, etc.) with defaults (as I would expect)


Am I missing some syntax that will allow changing the name, label, 
width, alignment, or whatever property desired of a single column 
without touching any of the other column data already set?

Interesting, when I tried to use them recently they didn't work.
Will test again, maybe it was my bad, thanks Mark.

It's probably about time to submit a bug report. The behavior we see isn't expected.

It's a plain gray border with the label appropriately placed. Three pixels 
works about the same.

I can reproduce your results. Weird thing: if I leave showName and showBorder 
on, and set the borderWidth to 4, and then turn on 3D I get a nice clean 
gray-ish border without any splits or lines.

Tested in LC 9.6.10 RC 1.

you probably know this: in the property inspector, there's a panel for
behavior, so you can just select the behavior from a menu button,
without having to type it

Re: Behaviors

2023-08-22 Thread Alex Tweedly via use-livecode 
Not sure how it works in the IDE - seems a problem because it only 
presents button in the current stack.


So I do it all in preOpen... scripts, doing something like

set the behavior of fld "F" of grp tmpName to the long id of button 
"RichTextFieldBehaviour" of \
 card "Behaviours" of stack "/Users/alextweedly/Dropbox/My 
Livecode/Libraries/richText.livecode"

I have a card with my behavior buttons, but I can’t seem to point to buttons on 
that card. Maybe, I’m remembering what I did long ago with front scripts.
