Hi Gang I'm still grinding away at this thing. Maybe I didn't describe the situation very well. or else it's impossible. To recap
I'm trying to get a Datagrid to work in a stack that works fine by itself in the IDE (with the datagrid template in a substack), but fails to work in a "Stackrunner" style stack launcher. My launcher is an application that includes all the libraries and engine and a base stack, and provides a listing area to choose a stack to 'GO' to . This thing works great and I can store them online and use my utility stacks without having to compile. It's an expansion of an idea by Ken Ray. However, Datagrids, as discussed earlier, seem to break under these conditions. Why, I don't know. I put a command line kind of diagnostic field in the app so I could check out more. I can see the substack and its templates exist by using commands in my fake 'message box' I put in the stack for diagnostics, while running in stackrunner mode. By the way, this stack functions as designed in the 'suspend IDE controls' mode. I've tried (per the docs for expanding the same template to many grids) *set the dgprops["row template"] of group "OutputGrid" to the long id of group id 1006 of card id 1005 of stack "Data Grid Templates 1307301831663" of stack "onlinelistmanager"* (grp 1006 is the "Row Template") With no error, but the grid is lifeless. Can't scroll, can't put data in etc. There must be a methodical way to re-connect the datagrid with the template in the substack. Is there more to re-connect that the Row Template? This is a stock table style datagrid. Is there more datagrid 'stuff' that needs to be included that gets added by the standalone builder? (and yes I've seen the lesson that deals with 'splash stacks' - this is different in that each stack needs it's dedicated template to come in with the stack) These datagrids are sensitive - they don't like me monkeying around. thanks in advance for any advice. -- Stephen Barncard San Francisco Ca.
