Same here. mostly of the time i just use the dgText property to fill and read the table content of a datagrid, because i use the DG only as "normal" table, but with DG features the normal table field does not have, like easy column resizing, column reorder. This and the awesome Datagrid Helper from Zryip is all i need to get it working. The DGH plugin is so powerful and it´s so easy to configure and modify the DG.
But sometimes there is a need to go deeper into the DG api and that´s where i always get stuck. ;) Matthias Matthias Rebbe free tools for Livecoders: https://instamaker.dermattes.de <https://instamaker.dermattes.de/> https://winsignhelper.dermattes.de <https://winsignhelper.dermattes.de/> > Am 11.02.2019 um 16:59 schrieb Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com <mailto:use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>>: > > Yeah, when we first began to brainstorm about a real table object, some > people wanted just a simple row,column object where each column, row or cell > could be formatted a certain way.
