Re: Must have flexible row height for Datagrid Table
Or use a form datagrid! The only place this is an issue is with table grids.

Re: Must have flexible row height for Datagrid Table
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.

Re: Must have flexible row height for Datagrid Table
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 biggest challenge will be the handler to handle off-screen drawing and scrolling...but I have some good ideas there I hope.I have particular advantages in my case 1, the upcoming the AR Rendering improvements for nested groups 2. not using custom properties 3. no copying of data all read directly from variables 4. 3 or 4 columns per row max 5. < 8 - 10 controls max per row (only 1 or 2 text) 6. The dg sends a lot of messages and sets and gets a lot of properties in order to be a general solution with all of its awesome features. No need for that here.. 7.it does not have to be a general solution applicable to other things. just the content types present in my application. It will work for other things and other developers, but I don't have to build features for them to be able to adapt it.

Re: Must have flexible row height for Datagrid Table
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 have been a more elegant addition. Perhaps LC will add it to the DataGrid for "DataGrid 3" some day. On 7/11/2018 11:22 PM, Tom Glod via use-livecode wrote: > Update on this ..

I would be interested in seeing those tests. Vars are much faster than fields, and still faster than custom props but much less so. I would imagine the bigger bottleneck is with rendering so many nested groups of objects. All that said, if you know your total size will not exceed 32k px it's easy enough to use one group populated with row groups copied in as needed. But if you need to go beyond 32k px you'll find the geometry becomes unpredictable with the integer limit. For that you'd need to replicate Trevor's hard work in virtualizing what's on screen vs what's in memory, and handling the scrollbar via script rather than letting the engine handle it. With all that work it may be simple to fork the existing DG if needed. But either is a bit of work, so I would think time spent isolating the true bottleneck first would be time well spent.

Re: Must have flexible row height for Datagrid Table
Update on this .. I'm coming to realize that dg isn't going to cut it for my needs in applications where performance matters. Datagrid is built using custom properties. which are way way way slower than accessing variables i haven't tested in a while but last i did it was orrders of magnitude slower. that is its major bottleneck, and i think i have to move away from moving the LC grid for my needs. So i think i need to make my own grid solution that covers both different sized rows, better performance, and no without all the duplication of data..

Re: Must have flexible row height for Datagrid Table
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.

Re: Must have flexible row height for Datagrid Table
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 ... which is probably the reason why the feature is not there in the first place. .. i don't think i have much choice though.

Re: Must have flexible row height for Datagrid Table
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 the contents of each of the 3 columns was 1 line, the row height for row 1 is set to 1 line. if row 2 column 3 had contents that was 3 lines high (or 42px height or whatever) and col 1 & 2 were less, then row's height is set to 3 lines high and so on.

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 form template expanded and collapsed the row.
