Datagrid question - variable row templates

It’s been a while since I used data grids - so I’m wondering if there are any new aspects / tricks here that I’m missing. Requirements I need a data grid like object to display json data / an array, in which each item has a type. So type image or type text etc. Each type should be displayed by

Re: DataGrid question...

Hi Bernd Your modTableField is very impressive. Reminds me of the work of the late, great Eric Chatonet (author of many works on Hypercard). I see only one slight problem: after I click into a cell a trace of the I beam is left behind on leaving the cell (this becomes visible on selecting

Re: DataGrid question: Suggestions for further enhancements (Bob Sneidar)

:-) I wasn’t arguing, just pointing out that before the data grid, the community was practically begging RunRev for some kind of robust table object, BECAUSE the table field was so unwieldy. That others have found ways in the interim to enhance the table field is nothing short of astounding,

Re: DataGrid question: Suggestions for further enhancements (Bob Sneidar)

@ Bob S Sure, you are right that the DG data grid supports most of what users might wish to have. My point was that there is a nice enhancement to the table field from Bernd Niggemann and that it could even be further enhanced -- without arguing about DG vs table field. Even if that would only

Re: DataGrid question: Suggestions for further enhancements

Not to belabor the point, but why would the data grid be overkill in relation to a table field? In what way? Cell editing actually works great. Double click a cell and edit the contents. Finding and getting data is far easier in a data grid than in a table field. dispatch findIndex to group

Re: DataGrid question...

Hi all. I’m not sure I understand the nature of the problem anymore as the thread is so long, but if you are using the data grid, it is very easy to get the actual index and column number of a cell that has been clicked on. If you put this into your data grid script, you can see it at work.

Re: DataGrid question...

There is an interesting interaction between the scrolling function, the size of the field, mouseUp or Down.  For my test, when I click the 6th column, scrolling occurs and the function returns nothing.  If I size the field such that no scrolling occurs, all works as expected.   If I change the

This is more or less Jacqueline Gay’s suggestion, but with a couple of wrinkles. You do need to adjust for the horizontal scroll of the field (I’m not sure about borders or margin). And if I am not mistaken sometimes “the tabStops” will not have an entry for each tab, if the column width

I don't know of a simple way to do it. However, Bernd's modTableField does do it, and it uses regular fields, and it's open source - so I took a very quick look there. It's not simple :-) But there's a function 'gatherItemClickedInfo' that (with some modifications) might be the foundation
