Hi CAsba,
you need to use the message box for that:
Code: Select all
set the dgColumnIsEditable["your column name here"] of group "your datagrid group here" to FALSE

Or, if you could just create a behaviour for the column in question and comment out the contents of the mouseDoubleUp handler for that column…

Perhaps but as I always create behaviours for columns (either to do an action, add controls such as checkboxes or even just set margins to correct vertical alignment as I find the default row height very stingy), it is but a minor issue to just adjust the mouseDoupleUp handler. Plus don’t have to remember yet another command

Hi Klaus,
That was a real simple and effective line of code. Is there a source of such snippets like that for all the other property variants to manage datagrids ?

Hi CAsba,
I worked through all of these LC lessons:
https://lessons.livecode.com/m/datagrid
https://lessons.livecode.com/m/datagrid_tips
A DataGrid is currently the most complex beast in LC, but worth the effort to master it!
There has been a PDF with all of these lesson of the LC webpage, but that is not available anymore.
I put my copy into my Dropbox, get it here if you like:
