Option menu in datagrid
"...* table-style datagrid and each row includes an option menu * *button"* I assume you mean that your DG table has a column that contains an option menu button (which, of course, appears in each row). Edit the default column behavior of the column that contains the option button. Edit the FillinData handler to include something like If conditionA then set the text of button 1 of me to the text of field "OptionText1" else set the text of button 1 of me to the text of field "OptionText2" end if Don't forget to refresh the data grid. Tested; works!

Re: 8 datagrid text properties
Hi Mike: Have you consulted the DataGrid help document (or dictionary)? set the dgProp["Property Name"] of group "DataGrid Name" to thePropertyValue where you have a slew of properties you can set: "header height" "header margins" "header text color" "header text font" "header text style" "header text size" "header background color" "header background hilite color" etc. Similarly to set the properties of body text, you have "text color" "text font" "text style" "text size" "hilited text color" etc. I tested. They work in LC8.

Bob,
May be I have not understood what you are trying to do, but a user-defined
function in the same script as the FillinData handler of the column in
question works perfectly for me.
<http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/file/n4710097/before.png>
Above is the original phone number format. I tried to convert it by adding
an fConvert function in the column behavior of the "Phone" column, as
follows:
on FillInData pData
-- set the text of field 1 of me to pData
set the text of field 1 of me to fConvert(pData)
end FillInData
function fConvert pData
set the itemDel to "-"
return "(" & item 1 of pData & ")" && (item 2 of pData) && (item 3 of
pData)
end fConvert
It works perfectly; here's the image.
<http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/file/n4710097/after.png>
I hope the images show in the post (My post wouldn't make any sense
otherwise!)

Sri

Re: Goofy question about Datagrids
1. The underlying data structure is in the form of an array (dgData). So, anytime there is frequent access to edit, calculate, and re-display results, array will have an edge over list. This would be even better if LC introduced additional array manipulation commands such as (multidimensional) matrix multiplication, etc. 2. Individual columns can be populated using their own rules (FillinData). Thus, it is possible, say, to color a row green if the email column of the row data contains "richmond" 3. Since you can have buttons, checkboxes, images, graphics, etc., in a cell (not just text), you can have different tools show up in a cell (column-row) depending on the value of an entry in a different cell in that row. 4. All this with DG table. DG form can do much more, but is not comparable to a spreadsheet and so is not relevant to your query.

Re: Livecode all around the world
If you assign a word in, say, Mandarin for every LiveCode-specific word or phrase (keyword, command, message, etc.), it will be a cheap (if stilted) solution to the problem. The added advantage is translation of an entire application script to any language at the click of a button and back. There are clear limitations to this approach, of course, but you can't beat the cost-benefit.

It can be a camelCase phrase (as long as it needs to be to make sense) for word. Of course, it would still be "unnatural" language approach! But, it might be better than "English or nothing" option. Some languages are going to lend themselves better than others, but imagine if we have this option in Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi. If even a small fraction of non-English speakers from those milieus are tempted to give LiveCode a try, it would be worth it. Remember, at any time they can click a button and the entire script appears in English. Since no one (no programmer, that is) is completely English-ignorant, switching back and forth will facilitate learning and using the language and eventually switching to English script.

Re: [Datagrid] How to change an objects owner from a Datagrid to a Card
I am not sure why go to all that trouble to retrieve a misplaced object.

Re: Use MenuPick properly
-- Here's using an array put revDataFromQuery(tDataBaseID, SELECT displayItem, storeItem FROM tableName) into tArray -- Note that displayItem is what you want to display in the menu, storeItem is the corresponding value you want to store; the data is not an array yet. split tArray by return and tab -- now, tArray has displayItem as the array key and storeItem as the array element -- Now you can display the keys of tArray in the menu in the order you like -- and save tArray[chosenMenuItem] in the database.

Re: Data grid Line or Index
Since arrays relate to how data is stored and not how data is displayed, I'd think no display-related factors should affect them. I'd expect dgData to stay the same (i.e., not updated), regardless of how the user manipulates the table displayed. (Any edits are incorporated through the index).

Re: Speed testing: Fastest search method
Hi Mike: In your method 1, . repeat for each item tItem in tDeletions delete line tItem of tDat --delete the lines after the repeat for each. end repeat ... the line numbers of tDat will get rearranged dynamically after each deletion, whereas the line numbers contained in tDeletions are static. Won't it mess up the whole thing?

Re: OpenControl
Will this work? 1. Create an invisible button in your group named, say, Card Change. 2. On openControl, Set the script of the current card to add in the on closeCard handler the statement: send mouseUp to button Card Change of group myGroup 3. When the button received the mouseUp message on closeCard of the current card, a) it goes into a watch mode to see if the current card has changed; and b) when it changes, it resets the contents of the group, and c) modifies the closeCard of the new card. Just trying to exercise my brain cells!

Re: OpenControl
Hi Jacque: Wilstrand's method seems to work (with a little modification). In the following, oldCardID is a custom property of the group. The first focusOut is issued on closeCard. on focusOut local tID put the ID of this card into tID if tID is not the oldCardID of me then set the oldCardID of me to tID -- here, change the contents of the group, as necessary else send focusOut to me in 50 milliseconds end if end focusOut Let me know if this doesn't serve your purpose. I am just trying to learn from all you experts on this use group.

Re: [OT] Xojo
Richard Gaskin wrote ... in practical terms the difference in proprietary licensing affects only a relatively small subset of users.. I don't know. People who want to develop iPad and iPhone educational apps, but cannot really recoup $500 a year ..., must constitute a significant population, I think. I invested some time learning LiveCode but have put it in cold storage for almost a year now, for this reason. Nearly 100% my target segment is iPad users. I could elaborate in some detail why this is so, but then the key point here is if people like me are really a small subset. I truly think if LiveCode comes up with a different licensing schedule, one that allows, for a much smaller fee, people to develop commercial iOS app of some restricted size or lines of code (a rough yardstick of project complexity), they will be pleasantly surprised by the response. iPad has a disproportionate enthusiasm market share when it comes to edu apps.

I look at LiveCode website once a while to see what's new, but did not stumble onto this page. I went back to livecode.com home page and tried to navigate to the above page, and had some difficulty finding it! I was looking for a page that compares Community and Commercial editions (I have seen it before), but couldn't navigate to it from the home page. I wonder if most people who come to the website to find out about the licenses will actually end up with full information. Others have said it before, the live code website badly needs some help.

Re: [OT] Xojo
Richard Gaskin wrote . If instead the app is to be sold commercially as part of a business, how can the business survive if it isn't making enough to cover the cost of design, development, marketing, and Apple's 30% cut for distribution? There is a segment between those who make free apps as a hobby (and a contribution to the field), and full-time programmers/businesses. There are programs that may be useful for narrow niches (e.g., low-incidence disabilities) that may still involve enough time and effort to warrant a modest price (which the users are willing to pay). Such programs are not profitable for professional programmers/businesses, but too involved for a strict hobbyist.

LiveCode and Xojo both create multi-platform applications, but that's where the similarity ends. Conceptualizing applications is 100% different. The sort of issues that arise during development are 100% different. The goals of either...you get the idea.
