I found another way.
Set standard background a opacity=0
add an new container graphic.
then make the background bigger that the controls, But it won't hilite.
So I might use your method.

Dear Swami,
I have created this kind of form before: roundrect background and margins
between 2 rows.
For the background I used my own graphic. The background graphic if present
is used by the datagrid library for hiliting the row. I removed it.
And for magins, I used a row height upper than the

Bob,
A column template exists for each column of a dg table, so you can use any
control you want inside a datagrid column, including widgets.
Here is a link to a DGH's screenshot . On the left, we have properties for
a column (row or header). This is a datagrid table with two visible
columns.
The template is like the group editor. In fact it may actually BE the group
editor. The behavior script determines what to do when a row is drawn.
I think the thing to understand about datagrids, table or forms, is that for
each array element in the data (itself an array) the template is
Yay! I made my first form.
Now for questions *not* covered by the lessons.
1) Is the graphic "Background" a special object? In Navigator I opened
stack
"Data Grid Temple 333"
directly editing the group "Row Template". I set background graphic to
roundedRectangle, corners set 20px,
I am at the lesson.livecode.com/m/datagrid.
They are quite thorough. Much to my chagrin, everything you need to know
is there.

Someone should do a graphic or schema diagram of the DG message hierarchy.

I finally figured out that a row has the behavior script that "requires
attention"
I have yet to try in dghelper.
FillInData etc. obviously need controls named according to your grid
But I still have the question:
The WSIWYG template has the control "where we want them"
But is

The code you have in the default behavior is the one installed by the

It contains the minimal example code to help the developer starting;

I slowly studying as much as we can on the datagrid,and "digging" in it with an
first attempt to build a form.
One thing is not clear to me.
1) Have the WYSIG panel to build the datagrid form.
2) why then do we have, in the Behavior Script this handler?
Isn't the layout already

Dear Douglas,
Thanks for your interesting feedback about your attempt to use DGH for the

The only thing changing on each row would be

I can give you a "not to do". DO NOT send selectionChanged to a datagrid in the
middle of processing a selectionChanged message already. This will crash LC to
