Wow, thanks Trevor for the R & D! That makes for "pretty plain" Datagrid2 forms. I understand the reasons behind it. But making "gorgeous" UI that scrolls then is not possible.
I am developing youTube library that use Datagrid. So it seems we will have to sacrifice scrolling to get a shadow on the forms, or a gradient on the graphic behind each form. OR get it scrolling smoothly but, it will have a "utilitarian" look and feel. But users are looking navigation, not eye-candy. But our design team will be "pained" by such a choice. I guess we can dress up to the card and static layers.. We shall see.... I will pursue "dictionary" one the other thread. (R.H.

I have confirmed that the following properties will cause a group that is assigned the layerMode of "container" to have an effective layerMode of "static": - opaque - showBorder - showname - hscrollbar/vscrollbar - dropShadow, innderShadow, outerGlow, innerGlow, and colorOverlay In addition, the acceleratedRendering of the stack must be true or the group will always have an effective layermode of "static". _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
