DataGrid Row Template Substack not Responding
Posted: Tue May 07, 2013 9:02 pm
Hi all,
I have a substack containing the Row Templates for a few DataGrids in my app that is not displaying the Properties Inspector, no matter what approach I take. I have tried right-clicking, selecting Property Inspector from the Application Browser, clicking the Inspector Icon, and the Object Menu. Nothing is responsive, and furthermore, the only way I can close the Row Template card once it is open is by Quitting LiveCode.
Somehow, while backspacing as I typed, text in the field I was editing got inserted into the stack title. I have no idea what command I inadvertently sent, but now the stack name is titled "Row Template for DG "Edit"".
Since it does have the second set of quotation marks inside it, I think it is giving LiveCode grief when the program tries to access it. Problem is, I can't access it in any way to be able to change the name and see if that works.
I tried to use the Message Box with "set the name of stack "Row Template for DG "Edit"" to "Right Name"
However, this returned an error... "Script compile error: Error description: set: missing 'to' "
I have no clue how it happened (my guess is some combination of Shift+Delete+Space or some letter key while I was typing something else, something similar has mistakenly happened a few times). I am on a Mac, so Delete is like Backspace.
I am completely mystified about what to do. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!
