Bonjour,
In a dataGrid I need to change the values of a selected Line according
to new data provided by the user (by mean of ask dialogs).
To get the current values of the line, I found in the docs the
dgDataOfLine[theLine] property
So my handler (of a button) is the following :
put the dgHilitedLines of group "dataGrid" into theLine
put the dgDataOfLine[theLine] of group "dataGrid" into theDataA
put the keys of theDataA into tKeys
sort lines of tKeys numeric by word 2 of each --- because the
keys are not in the same order as my column :
REPEAT FOR each line tKey in tKeys
put theDataA[tKey] & return after DataLine
END repeat
This works but
QUESTION 1: Is it possible to simplify this script ? and, could it be
a simpler way to get the values of a line of the datagrid ? (I mean
something like "get the dgTextOfLine[theLine] of group "dataGrid")
Then I do some calculations involving the old values (the lines of
DataLine) and the new data (the answers of the user) in order to get
the new values of the line .
Finally, I build a tab separated list of the new values in a variable
newLine
and I send "deleteLines theLine" to group "dataGrid"
and send "AddLine newLine" to group "dataGrid"
This works but
QUESTION 2 : is this the simpler way to repopulate the selected line ?
or is it possible to directly change (or replace) the content of the
selected line ? Again, my first idea would be something like set the
dgTextOfLine[theLine]
I am learning the use of the dataGrid (that I like a lot :-)) and, in
the same time, the use of arrays (that I do not like so much yet ;-)))
So any answer and help will be much appreciated
Best regards from Grenoble
André
