Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

@Richard, That is precisely what I saw when I did my test. (And DG3 was in a different stack.) I tried manually replacing the old button with one in the stack and that completely broke the DG. @Bob Another option to get script in front of the library would be to set the script of: button id 1005

Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

It is not a bug. You can't save a behavior on a script only stack, they much be added after they loaded. There is a new syntax to make it automatic, but that wouldn't help here. In the IDE, enable "Show IDE stacks in lists", open the Project Browser. Find

Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

belay all that. Apparently I have to get the behavior of the behavior of the ehavior of the datagrid. THAT seems to correctly return the id of the custom button. But the datagrids do not seem to work after a close and reopen of the stack, unless I use this workaround. So there is still

Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

The first "behavior" is a reference to the script of the button to be inserted. The other two are because LC moved the datagrid behavior to a script only file, but left the old button (now empty) in the message path. I was thinking that if you inserted a behavior after THAT button but BEFORE

Surprised that no one has replied to this so I'll just offer a bit of advice. Whilst on the surface your assumption is correct, 64bit will allow more accuracy than 32 bit, what you need to be aware of is the same gotchas still apply to 64 bit LC as 32 bit LC. Try this in the msg box: put

I just tried a simple test. I created a stack, added a DG and a button. I used the example at the top of this thread to set the behavior. I then added another DG to the card. Now when I double click on either DG, the new behavior is used. Is that what you are seeing and what you are
