Success! The custom property worked perfectly. Thank you, Mark W and Mark S, for coming to my assistance in solving this problem. This has been a remarkably positive experience for me, and I am amazed at your level of expertise and friendliness. You are both superb ambassadors for the LiveCode comm...

PS if you are still having problems, please post your "search" field code so we can check it. There may be something missing in there. The problem still persists. I've played around with the code some, but here is the what's currently in the Search field. I am experimenting with the code on two dif...

Can you use the inspector to view the Content of the Data Grid? If so then perhaps you can select the content there and copy it. I've done something similar in my stacks.

it sounds from your description like the rows of the datagrid are getting overwritten properly *only* when there's actual data to overwrite, and otherwise your original content is still there. Take a look. The table on the left is what I see just by opening the card. The table on the right is a dup...

Same result so far. I'll experiment with placing that code in different places...

It's so close I can taste it! Your solution has brought it to 99% completion. The Data Grid filtering is working, but there is a strange problem. There is a double-layering bug in the grid's text content. It's difficult to describe without a picture, but I'll try: It seems that there are two layers ...

I can't figure out how they're doing it, but the Summer Academy Index is doing it in their stack. Once the search field is cleared their list returns to what it was before. Would it help if I get you a link to that file, or can you determine what's going on from the code I've already posted?

I see what you mean. That's a problem I didn't really expect. Is there a way to take the original content of the Data Grid and store it in a variable at the very beginning of the process so that when the search field is cleared all the content will become visible again? In my head I assumed that it ...

Yes, I do. Sorry if I caused some confusion. I do want for the filtered results to appear in the Data Grid. The problem has been that the script was clearing out my actual content and filling the grid with data from an outside source. When the user types in the search I'm trying to get the data grid...

Mwieder, thank you so very much for your willingness to help. I inserted the code you wrote, and it definitely made a change. The search box no longer overrides the Data Grid (that's very good), but it actually isn't responding to the search field at all (that's less good, but I know it'll get bette...

Hello LiveCode community, I have only recently discovered LiveCode while doing a search for a simple cross platform development environment for a class project. Having had experience with Hypercard I was quite happy to learn that this is built on the same paradigms. Here is my current problem: I am ...
