Bonjour TheSlug, I just bought your Data Grid Helper. Congratulation for this very nice tool ! Very intuitive indeed, and very useful when installing new dataGrids or modifying old ones ;-)) The documentation is concise enough and very clear. Un outil magnifique :-)) Best regards from Grenoble André ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

The DGH is a plugin, right? Can we use it also to deploy application for the web (revlet) and for mobile ?

So I rewrote a text and I send it to the list to have your opinion about this new explanation. Do you think that is more clear? Thanks for any advice! 8-) What is DGH? DGH is a plugin for LiveCode. This plugin is a special and - we hope - intuitive interface for building LiveCode's Data Grids. DGH has: 1) its own interface for managing properties of a datagrid With the standard LiveCode interface you have to manage the properties of a datagrid for a part in the inspector palette and for another part by code. In DGH all the properties have an interface. Some examples of properties that you have to manage habitually by code with datagrids but fully integrated in DGH: - text margins for header and rows - text color for header - gradient colors for header background and header background hilite - color for header separators - default header behavior and default column behavior. Here DGH allows you to define default behavior by pointing an empty button or a button with a behavior and clicking on it. If the script of the button is empty, DGH will fill it with the required code from the datagrid library. This future is named Behavior picker. - etc 2) its own interface for managing columns of a datagrid DGH allows the creation or the deletion of columns in a datagrid with a visual interface. When you are defining columns in DGH you are really working on a datagrid: - you can select a column by clicking on it (invisible columns included) - you can reorder columns by drag drop - and you have an interface for managing properties that you have habitually to manage by code like, define a column to be editable or not, add a tooltip to a column. - etc 3) Its own interface for managing templates in a datagrid In a datagrid, a template is the way to add custom objects in a column or a datagrid form, like popup menus, radio buttons, etc. In the standard datagrid to define a column template, you have to edit two groups. Not in DGH. In DGH, you select a column by clicking on its header and you open its template directly in DGH in a special area named TMPL area. You have two ways to open the TMPL area: - by double clicking on the header column - with an expand button Once the template updated, you click on the update button in the TMPL area to save it and you can switch to another template by clicking on the next column. No need to juggle between groups. 4) Can create scripts for column or form behaviors If you have defined a template for a column, DGH can build for you the required script to manage it. For example, if you have a template with a popup menu, DGH knows what code is required to manage it, in - the fillindata handler - the menupick handler The name of this feature in DGH is Script builder. Script builder is actually capable to build on the fly the required structure of handlers needed to manage a template. It possess its own dictionary and is fully capable to build a coherent code by detecting all the controls in the template. For text, script builder manages the truncatetail feature of the datagrid library. 5) Can install code in a datagrid group DGH can install scripts for specific needs. The first script available allows to reorder lines in a datagrid. Other scripts will come with things like reorder columns (already existing in the column builder of DGH) or sorting.

Thanks Paolo Mazza Paolo, you are correct. DGH is a plugin. This plugin gives an alternative interface to build LiveCode's datagrids. I have no experience with revlets or mobile application. If I remember well, in a recent post you said that datagrids works on mobile excepted for scrolling. DGH built datagrids full compatible with the way the LiveCode inspector works, so I see no reason that a datagrid built with DGH should not works for web or mobile. However DGH not contains direct tools to deploy datagrids for web or mobile. The trial version of DGH is free for 30 days, so you can test it to create a datagrid for a mobile application, and let me know the result ;) Thanks!
