I forgot to finish my thought. What Tom could do is query for ALL the data, excepting the image data, then have a custom script that loads the images for just the visible records. This would preserver the ability to use findRecord and findIndex on the full set of the already queried and stored d

If he only queries for the data for the visible records. Otherwise the query is going to take as long as it takes to DL all the data. I was thinking some time ago about developing some paging scripts for the datagrid, using the LIMIT function of SQL, but I never actually had a reason for it. A

Hi Dan, To begin, using the NUmberOfRecordsProperty cancels out all performance issues with the dg. Using this method enables exactly what you are asking for. On Fri, Nov 8, 2019 at 12:29 PM Dan Friedman via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Greetings! > > Say you have a fo

Greetings! Say you have a form DataGrid that is displaying 100 entries. Each entry has an image (loaded from a server) and some text. When you set the dgData, it will get all 100 images as it's building the rows. This is obviously going to take some time to load. Is there a way to have the

Hi Clarence.. happy to hear. Yes it was created in Livecode some 20k lines of code and a couple of what I would call architectural innovations... :) I built it to be able to also build all kinds of other applications on top of it. I want to release it open source, but I also want to gro

I finally spent some time with your toolbox and I find it to be an interesting and useful tool. I have not downloaded the free sample yet but I intend to do so soon. Was this created with Livecode? Impressive work anyhow. Sincerely, Clarence Martin Email: chi...@themartinz.com Phone: 636 696556

Hi Tom, That’s much better. I was able to fully enjoy your video. I think your clip-board manager and the key-short cut macro are the best tools. I’m not one for emojis. I still do mine the old fashioned way. :-) Good luck with your launch! Rick > On Nov 7, 2019, at 4:42 PM, Tom Glod via use
