Data Grid property names

Data Grids are working great fro me now, thanks to yhose who helped.

I have one more piece of the puzzle left. I have a handler that determines excatly what type of object is currently selected (field, list, combbobox, check box, etc) by looking at the object type in conjunction with things like the style property. I see that data grids are group objects but is there some other property I can check that will tell me it's a data grid?

Thanks,
Pete

Hmm, I'd say your best bet is to check for the presence of the 'dgData' custom property set.

Code: Select all

function isDatagrid pLongId
  if word 1 of pLongId is "group" and "dgData" is among the lines of the customPropertySets of pLongId
  then return true
  else return false
end isDatagrid

One small tweak Jan. Change dgData to dgProps and your handler should be good to go.

Or try this prop, which is meant for exactly this purpose

Code: Select all

function isDatagrid pLongId
    return (the dgProps["control type"] of pLongID = "Data Grid")
end isDatagrid

Best

Thanks all, been out of town for a few days but just tried the last dgProps suggestion and it works fine.
