I would like to share some of the wisdom of Zryip The Slug (ZTS) as it may be
of some help to others not the list.
For the Color problem:
ZTS: If you have the need to change the color of the background rectangle of a
row and not want to use the row color property of the datagrid, you have to
rename the rectangle object. Internally the datagrid engine applies the
properties set for the row color to the rectangle "background" it finds in the
template.
MD: This is vert subtile. It looks like best practice would be to always
change the name of any controls that you would like customize.
For the Row height issue in GetDataOfLine mode:
MD: Don't seem to have root cause yet but ZTS offered the following work
around:
on OpenCard
lock screen
set the dgNumberOfRecords of group "Contacts" to 20
set the dgProp["row height"] of group "Contacts" to 34
unlock screen
end OpenCard
By setting the row height property of the dagrid group to 34, all is ok.
And of coarse I made THE CLASIC behaviour mistake in my testing code.
set the rect of graphic "Background" OF ME to x
ZTS: Never forget to refer to OF ME when you are referencing an object in the
behavior script.
Thanks again to Zryip, his help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
