Hi Len,
What about not dynamically increasing the number of fields in the
group, but displaying different parts of the data instead?
Create a group with fields in rows and columns. Add a vertical and a
horizontal scrollbar object. Now group the fields and the scrollbars.
Write a script that shows line x to y of your data, depending on the
thumbPos of the vertical scrollbar. The script should also show item
a to b of each line x to y of your data, depending on the thumbPos of
the horizontal scrollbar.
You can do this using the scrollbarDrag message, which is sent if you
drag the thumb of the scrollbar. The scrollbarDrag message comes with
a parameter, which you can use together with the endValue of the two
scrollbar objects to determine which lines and which items you need
to display.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

I'm trying to create a group that will act like a "real" table
object should. In other words, I want to be able to align each
column individually.
I've created 5 fields each the width needed for a column and then
grouped them together. Since the columns (as originally drawn) we
longer than the group, I get a scrollbar for the group but it only
scrolls to the height of the fields. Since the number of lines in
the fields can vary from 2 to 200, I don't want to put 2 lines of
data and 198 CRs in each field.
I know someone has done this before where they attach a scroll bar
to the right most column and then somehow get the other columns to
move when it's scrollbar is moved.
Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? If the
group w/ scrollbar is the way to go, how can I dynamically expand
the length of the columns (as the number of records varies) without
moving the top of the field around on the card?
Thanks for any help, pointers, etc you can toss my way.
Len Morgan
