Re: Goofy question about Datagrids

Well I discovered that what you CANNOT do is call a user-defined command or function that has not been loaded yet, as in a front or back script that has not been inserted yet. If I do, when I open the stack I get an error. I suppose I could do the inserts in a preopen handler, but the scripts

Re: Goofy question about Datagrids

This is something I want to look into. I store datetime data in "international" format, but I want to display it in a kind of short date/time format. Currently I run the datagrid array through some functions for doing that, but it might be advantageous to have the datagrid library do this for

Re: Goofy question about Datagrids

If you want to total a column in a simple table field, assuming column 8, this is my long-winded approach. on mouseUp set the itemDel to TAB constant tColumn = 8 constant tFieldName = "myFakeSpreadsheet" put the number of lines of fld tFieldName into tLineCount if line -1 of fld

Re: Goofy question about Datagrids

It's my impression that Datagrids make terrible spreadsheets as is. But so does the table field. A LOT of work has to be done on both to get them to act like a spreadsheet. As it turns out, a spreadsheet is a quite complicated thing to implement. If you intend to do calculations, then there is

Re: Goofy question about Datagrids

Possibly . . . But what I really meant was "what advantage does a datagrid have over a tableField vis-a-vis spreadsheet handling?" Sorry; finding it rather difficult to formulate an uneasy feeling I've had about datagrids ever since they were first introduced. Richmond. On 1.11.2016

Hi Richmond, I'll give you an 'improperly formulated' explanation of my own experience with datagrids. They are more complicated to use (at first). So most of the time I still use a table field for everything except where the nice appearance of a datagrid gives the design a polished and
