Try this ...
1. Create a new blank mainstack.
2. Draw a descent sized Field on it
3. Go into the Inspector and check the Table settings (Table Object and Cell
Edit)
4. Put some numbers in the first four cells of column one (how about 1, 2 ,3
and 4)
5. Open the message box and execute ... put empty into fld 1
6. The field should go blank
7. Click on the cells into which you previously input data.
8. Like magic your numbers reappear in the cell while it is being edited.
Second round ...
1. Open the message and execute .... put "TEST" into line 3 of fld 1
2. "Test" appears in row 3 column 1
3. Click on it and you will see the number you entered and then wiped out
earlier and not "TEST"
Third round ...
1. Open the message box and execute ... put empty into fld 1
2. Click on row 2 column 1
3. One of the earlier numbers should appear. Type over it with another number.
4. All the earlier numbers appear.
Fourth round ...
1. Use the "Popup Menu" button and draw a quick button off to the side.
2. Go into the Inspector and give it some Menu Items (how about A, B, C, and
D each on a sep. line)
3. Select line 2 of column 1 but don't change anything.
4. Click on your pop up button and watch it party again.
I'm very open to suggestions! Feel free to point out something simple like ...
set tableNotBuggy to true
... I'm not too proud for anything at this point.
