DataGrid Question

[Chris Wood]

Charles,

Perhaps this is not the best way to do it but it works. In this example
there is an existing table style DataGrid with 4 columns named First, Last
DOB & Age.


<code>
  
   --Get existing number of lines
   put the dgNumberOfLines of group "DataGrid 1"  into theLineNo
   put theLineNo + 1 into theLineNo
   
   --Create empty array to act as new record
   put "" into theNewRecord[theLineNo]["First"]
   put "" into theNewRecord[theLineNo]["Last"]
   put "" into theNewRecord[theLineNo]["DOB"]
   put "" into theNewRecord[theLineNo]["Age"]
   
   --load existing DataGrid into array
   put the dgdata of group "DataGrid 1" into theDataGridData
   
   --Merge the 2 arrays
   union theNewRecord with theDataGridData
   
   --Load the merged data into the datagrid
   set the dgdata of  group "DataGrid 1" to theNewRecord
   
   --Get the current sort order
   --This will allow us to discover if the new record will appear in the
first or last row
   put the dgProp["sort by column"] of group "DataGrid 1" into
curSortedColumn
   
   put the dgColumnSortDirection[curSortedColumn] of group "DataGrid 1" into
curSortOrder
   
   if curSortOrder = "ascending" then
      put 1 into theLineNo
   end if
   
   --Select the first cell for editing
   put "First" into theColumn
   send "EditCell theColumn, theLineNo" to group "dataGrid 1"
</code>


This hasn't been tested much and then only in a table style grid on OS X
10.5, so if anybody can suggest how to improve this code or more
efficientway to do this then I'd be grateful to hear from you.
