Re: Need to populate array into datagrid
I have seen this sort of thing before. Try setting the dgData to empty, and
also the dgText. Further, make sure that the column names of the datagrid match
the keys of each record in the array.

Re: Need to populate array into datagrid
Skip, are you putting this into a form style or table style datagrid?

Re: Need to populate array into datagrid
So yes, I have tried this method but I am only getting the first element to
appear in the data grid ("1,2") in each row
None of the other details appear in the datagrid.

Re: Need to populate array into datagrid
Hi Skip, First, make sure your array uses the format required by the datagrid. It should be a numeric-indexed array, where each key (index) represents a DG row (line), with that key's subkeys representing the DG columns of the row. Then: set the dgData of grp "my grid" to tMyDataA That's it! It might be helpful to manually put a couple of lines of values into a DG and then do something like this so you can have a visual depiction of how the array should be organized: -- in a test button on mouseUp put the dgData of grp "my grid" into tDataA breakpoint end mouseUp Phil Davis On 8/10/21 11:52 AM, Skip Kimpel via use-livecode wrote: > What is the best way to do this?

Re: Need to populate array into datagrid
Hi Skip, I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for but if you want to set the datagrid to display the data in an array you use: set the dgData of group "DataGrid" to pDataArray If your data is just delimited text you can use: set the dgText of group "DataGrid" to pData Either way tiggers the LayoutControl and FillInData handlers in the datagrid, so these need to be the same as (or be modified to meet) the structure of the incoming data. There is more in the dictionary under dgData and dgText. Mark > On Aug 10, 2021, at 7:52 PM, Skip Kimpel via use-livecode > wrote: > > What is the best way to do this?

Need to populate array into datagrid
What is the best way to do this? I have searched my old code, online results, etc and cannot find a clear cut answer. Having said that, it has been a VERY long time since I have done this so I am part of the "use it or lose it" club right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
