Re: Copying and pasting a data grid form?

Here's one way to do this,there may be others. Both datagrids will have the dgProps["row template"] property set to the same group and card of the Datagrid Templates stack. Locate that card and use the message box to make a copy of it in the Datagrid Templates stack. Make a note of the Row Tem

You can do something like this. put the customproperties["en"] of stack "stackname" into myArray --at this point you can modify the array to change your values and then set the customproperties["ja"] of stack "stackname" to myArray On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 10:31 PM, Nicolas Cueto wrote: > Hello

copy custom property set

Hello. I'm not too confident with custom properties, so my terminology here could be imprecise. In my stack's custom properties there is a set called "en". In turn, that set "en" has a long list of keys (?). Thus, for example, if I script: put the en["greetingMorning"] of stack "myStack" it'

Copying and pasting a data grid form?

Hi All, Okay, I am at a loss. I have a stack with several cards... On one card I have a custom data grid form with graphics and several text fields... What I want to do is copy the data grid and then paste it onto another card--which works fine. The problem is, I am unclear about how to create

Hi Bob, The part that I most liked about the linked article was the emphasis on explorability. I think HyperCard had it. My other Tool FileMaker had it. FileMaker has less of it today. And I think that LiveCode is not as explorable as HyperCard was. In the case of LiveCode it nows support 7 plat

Yeah, I can see that would work faster than getting the data from an SQL db. Would be interested to compare speeds with more complicated retrievals though, eg get a list all rows with "xyz" in column 5 and "abc" in column 8, or something similar. Course, the app in question may not need that kind
