Populating Datagrids?

[boogerbrain]

I need to get a text file into a datagrid and for it to display the data in three columns: the student name, student gender, and a yes or no. Please help me this is due tomorrow

What does the data look like? If it's tab-delimited you can probably just set the dgText property:

Hi.

What Richard said. If it is not tab and return delimited, ask again quickly, since you must format it that way before you can use the one-liner he suggested.

Here's something to help you along. You don't need to set the itemDel unless you're going to refer to the parts of tData as items.

Code: Select all

put fld “FldName” into tData

set the itemDel to tab

put "Name"  & tab & “Gender” & tab & “Answer” & cr into TheTextData
set the dgText [true] of grp "YourDataGrid" to TheTextData & tData
