Data Grid objects in standalones

[Mike Bonner]

Ah k. Yep. There is a behavior script that the datagrid is linked to, i bet
it goes wonky when things are separated.  If you "put the behavior of
group.." whatever the group is that is your datagrid, and its in the
toplevel of the  main stack it says button id 1005 of stack
"revDataGridLibrary"

Ah k. So you're having it move substacks to separate stackfiles from the
standalone settings?  I think you can get around the problem by a) just
having all your secondary stacks be mainstacks in their own rights (and you
can include them in the files to copy pane)  Don't have the compiler change
substacks to stackfiles (because my guess is that it does this BEFORE
looking for inclusions)  and then leave the datagrid templates stack as a
substack of the main, and don't choose to move substacks to stackfiles.
Otherwise, I doubt the stack "revdatagridlibrary" is getting included, so
the last option would be to manually clone that stack, save it tooand
include it in the stackfiles, then change the behaviors of all your
datagrids to point to button id 1005 of stack
"path/to/the/revdatagridlibrafyfile.."
I also don't know for sure if you would have to "start using.." the
revdatagridlibrary stackfile or not.
