Simple? DG question

[Phil Davis]

Sean, you hit the nail on the head! Thank you! After updating the 
'answer' field, I added this code:

             -- update the DG internal array
             put fld "answer" of me into tDataA["answer"]
             put fld "question" of me into tDataA["question"]
             set the dgDataOfIndex [ the dgIndex of me ] of the
    dgControl of me to tDataA

Now it works perfectly.

You are the MAN!!!  :-)

Phil

I’m allowing the user to mouseUp on an SVG widget with the ‘eye open’ iconPresetName which then calls a handler with the layer number and the target (which is the ‘visibility’ widget) which adjusts the data for the grid and rewrites to it by using ‘set the dgDataOfIndex[pLayerNum] to pVisible' or something like it. Once all the handlers are complete it redraws the grid with the updated visibility icon.

I have verified that this part works, and the toggle object is setting the value of the 'answer' text field to reflect the visual state of the toggle object.
