-- This script defines the behavior of your data grid's custom template. This behavior
-- only applies to 'forms' and not 'tables'.

on FillInData pDataArray
    -- This message is sent when the Data Grid needs to populate
    -- this template with the data from a record. pDataArray is an
    -- an array containing the records data.
    -- You do not need to resize any of your template's controls in
    -- this message. All resizing should be handled in resizeControl.
    
    -- Example:
    set the text of field "Label" of me to pDataArray["label 1"]
end FillInData


on LayoutControl pControlRect
    local theFieldRect
    
    -- This message is sent when you should layout your template's controls.
    -- This is where you resize the 'Background' graphic, resize fields and 
    -- position objects.
    -- For fixed height data grid forms you can use items 1 through 4 of pControlRect as
    -- boundaries for laying out your controls.
    -- For variable height data grid forms you can use items 1 through 3 of pControlRect as
    -- boundaries, expanding the height of your control as needed.
        
    -- Example:
    put the rect of field "Label" of me into theFieldRect
    put item 3 of pControlRect - 5 into item 3 of theFieldRect
    set the rect of field "Label" of me to theFieldRect
    
    set the rect of graphic "Background" of me to pControlRect
end LayoutControl


on ResetData
    -- Sent when data is being emptied because the control is no longer being used to display data
    set the text of field "Label" of me to empty
end ResetData


on PreFillInData
    -- Sent right before new data is going to replace existing data in the control

    -- This custom property is set when the highlight of your custom template has
    -- changed. By default the "Background" graphic will be highlighted for you.
