DataGrid

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Here is my favorite line, likely overused:


"I use dataGrids, but do not understand them."


In other words, they are complex, and though are built entirely from standard LC objects, scripts and behaviors, they simply require practice to use effectively, And even more practice to learn exhaustively, as you seem to want to do, unless you fly Trevor DeVore in for a week of private lessons. And in that case, you will simply need more practice.

This to me is a most intriguing tool.I think that this tool should be one of the most important tools available. But it is also very mysterious to me. I have tried to analyze the “How to use” aspects of this tool and when I mention this tool to other users they just kind of look at me, almost as though I am speaking a foreign language. I have yet found anyone who can completely explain “How this tool works or how to use it”.My problem is, I am a very immersive user and I need to know how things work. This allows me to get the most out of anything that I use. I am also assuming that this is supposed to be a “Data Centric” tool which is very important to certain applications.I am hoping that this tool is high on the list of “near future” widgets and will eventually be less cryptic. I have seen the tutorials on the LiveCode site  and I am still trying to completely understand the tool.If the author of this tool reads this list, I am hoping for some help and insight on using this tool.Also, in LiveCode 8 I do not see any way to implement putting contents into the DataGrid.Sincerely,Clarence MartinEmail: chipsm at themartinz.comCell: 626 6965561-----Original Message-----From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-bounces at lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Peter HaworthSent: Wednesday, February 24, 2016 9:37 AMTo: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode at lists.runrev.com>Subject: Re: Email Test 1I use gMail, Inbox actually.
