Re: [datagrid] how to search and show the result?
Good news folks, there is a workaround ! Enabling the cache controls of the datagrid, forces all fields to be build in the datagrid group. Hence, the find command does finds its way to the foundCHunk. So we can eventually identify the foundChunk as being part of a datagrid and trigger a scroll of the datagrid..!! Now I just can't get to set the datagrid to focus on the actual foundchunk... -- the standard method implemented for fields in a group does not work in the case of datagrids. I cannot fond how to calculate the formattedTop of a datagrid group. The dgFormattedHeight does not seem to be quite the same; it stays fixed, where the formattedTop changes.

Re: [datagrid] how to search and show the result?
Well, folks I think that an outline thingy is kind of both a text container AND a collection of rows with columns and various pieces of information attached to each paragraph But anyway.. problem half solved for the time being since the size of datagrids I use is rather small, it's ok to cache controls. And thanks to Trevors API we can get our hands into it. On the ground of it, the issue I raised is one of coherence because when we start to have to implement as many find commands as we have GUI objects.. it will be less fun!! don't you think.. ?? and even so more for newbies attracted by the X10 productivity, as advertised! -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Re-datagrid-how-to-search-and-show-the-result-tp1311658p2337278.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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

Okay, now I see. In all fields, the found chunk when not actualy visible, is brought into focus by the find comand, except for datagrid, although it works with datagrids for occurences which are visible. This is understandable given how dataGrid works only building fields for the visible part of the table. It's a problem relatives to groups, not only to the datagrid object. Try to create three fields and group them. Set a vertical scrollbar to the group and change the rect of your group to have two lines visible and the last one only visible if you scroll. Type some text in each fields, then try to execute the find command. As a datagrid is in fact a group of controls and fields, the problem is the same than with a simple group of a few fields. So as it stands, if there is a datagrid on a stack and if one wants to implement a search that searches everywhere, the standard find command must be doubled by a dataGrid related dgFind which is not trivial to do since the existing findline command reports only the first occurence. Personally I never considered a datagrid as simple text container. For me a datagrid is a container for rows or for records and when I search in a datagrid, I'm waiting to have an entire record as result. I can't speak for Trevor, but I think he has built the datagrid object like that. With your findline command that reports multiple occurences, it remains to implement the actual find in datagrid which will show the found chunk ; and finally combine both standard find and dgFInd into a single findAll command! It possible to jump to a line with two available commands in the datagrid engine (one for lines, the other for indexes) For now I'm not see how to scroll and box a string in a visible line from the outside of a datagrid. It probably possible in a custom behavior. As far I have time and most of all an idea, I will give this a try. So I filed a request for an update of the find command, that really should work on all GUI elements for simplicity and coherence. In practice I beleive we'll have to sort out some sort of workaround once more, blessing your coming dg helper library! I planned to come with the DGH library after the release of the DGH plugin. In which form, I don't know. In my mind I not integrated it as a plugin feature. I just uploaded the possible help stack of this not ready library, because I thought it was near of your need.

For me a datagrid is a container for rows or for records and when I search in a datagrid, I'm waiting to have an entire record as result. I used the datagrids in the list form e.i with the row behavior, to implement a scrolling text similar to an outliner, each line being treated as a paragraph, in order to be able to reorganize the text and to be able to associate medias and various actions to each paragraph lines. I thought that was an appealling use of datagrids allowing more fancy things as far as the appearance is concerned. Thanks for pointing out the field within group problem with the find command. Its' not so bad!! Explaination : I initially started without datagrids and used a group of fields that would scroll. I just tested the find function within groups. Things are not so bad : the found chunk is actually found in a field within a group, even if that field is not visible. By hand, scrolling the group, you can get to the found chunk in view. A handler can easily do that since we have the foundChunk information. So after having invested quite some time on datagrids.. hum I have to consider to roll back to my own, less complete but with a find command that can work, which for my use is something important!! This will teach me to plan for all functions BEFORE going ahead... frankly I did not anticipate that problem with the find... !!! hope this can help others. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Re-datagrid-how-to-search-and-show-the-result-tp1311658p2335902.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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

yes it is... dgh_FindLine is what I need to actually use Datagrids in real. Still this will not make up completely for the standard find function : getting the line is fine, but drawing a rectangular round the serached string is better, and the standard a user will expect for a search function.
