Dictionary and dgHilitedLines ?

Post by samuel.vannesteBUSGvXT » Tue Oct 07, 2014 10:53 am

Hello,

One question I've got this morning while showing LiveCode to a friend and I was not able to explain why. In the Dictionary, when you select "All", if for instance you search for "dgHilitedLines", no entry is found.
And even if the Data Grid is a part of the Tools, there is no reference to it in the Object section of the Dictionary.

So, this made me wonder if I was not aware of some parts of the language itself (I've learned about the Data Grids and how to use them thru the Business Academy previously).

Thanks for any information.

LiveCode 6.6.3 - Commercial - OS X 10.9.5

Hi Samuel,

yep, unfortunately there is no documantation about datagrids "on-board" :(

But here you will find all available docs: http://lessons.runrev.com/m/datagrid
Download the PDF and learn it by heart :)

I do it everytime I have a project with datagrids involved, they are so dang complex!


Best

Klaus

Hello Klaus,

Thanks a lot for the link. I have took a look at it but... Kevin is a great teacher and has already provided the essential information (in the academy I have studied) to be able to do stuff quickly ;-)

But I do keep the link for my friend or I would probably miss something. All my bests :-)
