Using Arrays

[Mike Bonner]

dgtext isn't an array value, to do what you want you need to get the dgdata

For example, if you have a simple table grid with 2 columns, col1 and col2
with 3 records, to get the array back out do

*get the dgdata of group "yourdatagridgroupname" *
*put it into tArray*

At this point, knowing whats in the grid if you

*put the keys of tArray*
since there are 3 records, the keys will be 1, 2 and 3 will be displayed in
the message box. If you then *put the keys of tArray[1]* you will see the
column keys, col1 and col2, so to get a specific cell is as you've been
trying to do with the dgtext  tarray[1]["col1"] will get the data from row 1
col 1.

if you get the dgtext, it should react like a tab delimited flat file.  So
if you

*get the dgtext of group "mydatagridgroup"*
*put it*

it should display all rows and columns of the datagrid in the message box
