I'm very keen to use table fields but need to know how to load and unload a complete table field quickly and efficiently. I've seen some of the earlier messages which mention "revReadCellValue", "revWriteCellValue", "cREVTable[]", "revDisplayFormattedData", but NO complete documentation for how to manipulate and display table fields.
It is somewhat of a cheat to claim that Rev supports "Spreadsheet fields" (see http://revolution.runrev.com/section/features.php for the claims)
but then doesn't provide ANY documentation for how to actually use them apart from when attached to database queries!! Moreover, if you try to apply general field manipulation techniques things go really weird with edited cells still containing old values, etc.
Specifically, I want to be able to: - load/unload a complete table in one go
put tableContent into field "Table Field" -- put data into complete table
put field "Table Field" into tableContent -- get complete table data
- clear a table
put empty into field "Table Field"
- address individual cells for reading/writing
set the itemDelimiter to tab -- the lines in a table field have the columns separated by tabs
put 6 into item 5 of line 7 of field "Table Field" -- row 7, column 5
put item 3 of line 2 of field "Table Field" into mycell -- row 2, column 3
- fix the number of columns when tabbing across
not sure what you mean by this one?
- have table column headings that scroll as the data table scrolls
Hmm, you could put the headings in another table immediately above the one they belong to, set the tabStops the same, eliminate the scrollbars, make it non-editable, and put a bit of code in the main field ("Table Field") to keep the horizontal scrolling in sync. I did something like this with an experimental stack I had started at one point.
Then you could format the other table field however you want.
and I need proper documentation (or even SOME documentation!!) in order to do this.
Is there anyone on the list (or better still from RunRev) who can provide more comprehensive documentation for table fields, so I can REALLY use them?!
Cheers
