DataGrid dictionary?

[Anthony Howe]

Hiya folks.

Is there a reference somewhere for all the commands/ functions of the datagrid? I've done the tutorials etc but just trying to implement stuf now and needed to look a couple of things up...

I notice that they don't seem to be listed in the livecode dictionary?

Another thought....anyone got an iOS app on the way with the LC dictionary in it? You'd be popular with me if you did!
