Hi Bernard,
Though I appreciate everything you said, having NOT watched the first
webinar for a number of reasons as I recall, it would still be a great
help to know the foundation upon which DG works. I found in my
earliest years studying mathematically subjective subjects that,
rather that memorize a whole bunch of formulas, I could derive those
formulas on an as need basis once I understood the relevant process.
So I guess I'm asking: "Has anyone described the DG process in
sufficient detail so that, had we the need to do so, we could recreate
DG for ourselves?" IOW, how does it work, OR how is it expected to
work in case it doesn't?
Also, once we are so empowered, we would be able to expand DG for our
own special needs, freeing Trevor from the need to "mother-hen" his
creation, something I'm assuming we have the power to do.
Perhaps I'm asking too much.
Incidentally, now that I think about it, I did not watch the Webinar
mostly because I've found them to be a bit too fast paced, lacking the
provision for adequate reflection, in most instances. (referring to
OTHER Webinars I have watched. Is it, BTW, still "around" for viewing
and is/are there an additional Webinar(s) on DG? Unlike the majority
of those who follow this list, Revolution is NOT a source of income
that sustains my existence.
Thanks to all who participate on this list.

Hi Joe,
Did you watch the first webinar on the DataGrid? I think that is by
far the easiest way to grasp why the DataGrid is useful. Basically,
the DataGrid serves to style the presentation of rows of complex data.
One's options for doing this in Rev go (in increasing power and
complexity) field, table field, ListMagic, DataGrid.
The great thing about all these questions on the DG is that a) they
have given Trevor ideas how to expand it further, b) they've found a
few bugs, c) they will provide lots of additional information for you
if/when you ever decide you too need to use a DG in your code.

I've not even considered using the datagrid control, but I've
noticed an
awful lot of traffic regarding it on this list.
Since, once I understand how something really works, I've wondered
if a
description of the concept behind datagrid has been provided.
Probably a
real stupid question, but we have some pretty bright people on this
list. It
seems to me that most of these threads would most likely be
unnecessary if
there is one; or like many other things with revolution, this
description is
too well hidden, not readily obvious to the first time user of the
datagrid
control. Please forgive me if I'm waaaay off base with this.
