Yes I agree, before updating a datagrid, lock the screen. Performance is much improved. Also make sure no property inspectors, script editor or message box is open while benchmarking. Bob S > On Jul 11, 2018, at 21:14 , Richard Gaskin via use-livecode > wrote: > > Tom Glod wrote: > > >

Hi folks, thanks for all your input. Just to be clear, I am not re-creating a whole datagrid solution. Trevors DG solution is so awesome and flexible and works really great for so many things ... but its awesomeness came at a cost. For me I have very few things to think about the

Thanks for looking into the matter. We currently use a control to allow the user to adjust the DataGrid row height (which of course changes all rows heights). While inelegant, it does let the user expand the view of a row where one or more cells have a lot of content. Variable row height would

Wondering if a widget would work for this. The tree widget doesn’t to a great job with extremely large data sets though. Thanks, Brian On Jul 11, 2018, 10:22 PM -0500, Tom Glod via use-livecode , wrote: > Update on this .. I'm coming to realize that dg isn't going to cut it > for my needs

Hi Tom, I haven’t done much of anything with the datagrid, but I am wondering what happens if one of the cells in your row has an image in it? Will the row resize to be able to show the minimum height of the image? If so, that might be a work around for you. Good luck, Rick > On Jun 18, 2018,

thats exactly what I mean...and while thinking about it .. there is already a significant performance hit with having to calculate all rows in order to know how to scroll through the rows. the scrollbar works based on equal row sizes . so i will have to find a workaround for that

To be specific, I would like to see a added feature to the "table" mode of the DataGrid where the row height for each individual rows is set to the max(formattedheight) of the contents of the visible columns for that specific row. So if a dataGrid has 3 visible columns and for row 1 the height of

Isn't that the difference between a form datagrid and a table datagrid? Why not just create a form datagrid and control the heights programmatically? Or do you need the row heights to be user manipulated? I saw an example a long time ago of a form style datagrid where one of the buttons in the
