Re: menu buttons and showname
“Set the label of button myBtn to space” makes an option button appear blank but does not interfere with a user’s subsequent choice of an option. While disabling the button or hiding the button are other ways of making clear that no option is in effect, an able but blank option button means that an option can be put into effect in one step, not requiring some other action that enables or shows the button.

Datagrid Form
Can't believe I haven't used a datagrid form before but trying one for the first time this morning, following the instructions in the dg manual. Set the dg type to form Edited the row template to include a couple of fields and a check box Added a button that sets up an array keyed by the field/checkbox names with some data in each key and sets the dgData of the dg Edited the FillInData of the row behavior get the data and put it into the fields/set the hilite of the checkbox Clicked the button to populate the dg Nothing. Set a breakpoint at the start of the FillInData handler and tried again. At the start of the handler, my fields and checkbox show up in the datagrid with no data in them. As each line is executed to put the data into them, nothing shows in the datagrid. Each line looks something like: put pDataArray[Company] into field Company of me pDataArray has the correct values in each key Continued stepping through and next comes the LayoutControl handler. I haven't changed that yet. Step through each line, nothing changes in the datagrid. After stepping over the end LayoutControl, my fields/checkbox all disappear and no more code is executed.

Re: Datagrid Form
Hi Pete, Try commenting out all the code inside your 'LayoutControl' handler and see if that changes your outcomes.

Re: Datagrid Form
Silly question, but do you have the cache controls box checked in the inspector for the datagrid? If you uncheck it, and click the refresh datagrid button, does the data show up? If so, is there anywhere that you are manually telling the datagrid to refresh in your code after the dg is populated? Strangely, if Ihave fixed control height unchecked, and cache controls checked, and refresh the datagrid, the datagrid will suddenly appear empty. checking fixed control height, or unchecking cache controls, will make it show back up. (7.0.5) But if I populate it using the button, it doesn't seem to matter what is checked and what isn't, right up until a refresh is done, hence the question about doing a refresh in your code somewhere.

What Richard said, except sounds like you know the filepath so just set the filename to it.

save as of stack file from a script
Odd as it sounds, I want to do a save as of my stack from code, rather than hitting a dialog box. I have a prepCmpl routine to get the stack ready for building a standalone. I've previously set things up so that the various standalone options are set to what I want based on the file name (primarily versioning). Now, I want to have stack mystack.150703a.livecode get renamed to mystic.150703a.to_compile.livecode, at which point I'll start deleting extraneous stacks and copying in a couple that it needs. This was driven by shared routines as I'm writing the server, and the moving of my custom dialog stack out of the mainstack. When the environment is development, it loads the most recent version and uses it as a library. By being loaded, it can also call the dialog stack. Oh, open hidden stack something.someplace.livecode seems to work, although it's not in the dictionary. Anyway, if anyone knows where save as goes so that I can set its options and call it, it would be a great help. -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
