Further to my recent problems with DataGrid forms :

I've managed to sort my DataGrid by Key with a:
dispatch "sortDataByKey" to group "myDataGrid" with "myKey", "International", "Ascending/Descending", "False"

but... when I then click / select a specific item/row I'm parsed the data from the wrong dgIndex.
If I remove the sort then everything works just dandy... add the sort and my line/row selection goes to pot...

What I'm trying to do is pass all the relevant data on a specific item into a DataGrid but only displaying enough of it to enable the user to select the item they want to see. Clicking on the required line/row should (well, it does when I don't sort the data) open a group of items that displays the item in full... well, that's the idea but, like I say, I can't get it work after a sort...

Any ideas please ?

Hi Trax,

what did you script "on mouseup" that does not work correctly after a sort?
Be sure to query the current dg INDEX and not LINE, which may of course change after a sort!

Hi Klaus,

Before sorting (SortDataByKey), my MouseUp script works as expected. After a sort it fails.

My 'on MouseUp' script looks like :

on MouseUp
local sData

put the dgDataOfLine[the dgindex of me] of me into sData
Display_DetailedDGData sData --pass the complete data subset (for this DG row) to my detailed data display script...
end MouseUp

When I remark out the sort, populate the DG and select a line all works as expected...

Hope you can help.

Have a great weekend.

AHA!

the DGLine <> the DGIndex!

Code: Select all

on MouseUp
  local sData

   ## Use this:
   put the dgDataOfIndex[the dgindex of me] of me into sData

   ## OR:
   ## put the dgDataOfLine[the dgLine of me] of me into sData
   ## But mixing them will cause some headache!

   Display_DetailedDGData sData --pass the complete data subset (for this DG row) to my detailed data display script...
end MouseUp

The Index stays "fix" where LINE (the visibke representation of a record) may change e.g. after a sort!
