I have a general purpose function in my app that laods data into any datagrid based on various custom properties of the datagrid. 95% of the time it gets called from outside the datagrid itslelf and works just fine. The other 5% of the time it gets called from a script in the datagrid group and the datagrid gets corrupted (missing data, data displayed in wrong columns, etc). If I click the Refresh Datagrid button in it's property inspector, all looks OK again

I think I'm running into the issue about trying to redraw a datagrid from a handler within a datagrid, but not sure. If that is the issue, I'm unsure as to how to get round it. The handler in question is in a front script and loads data into the datagrid by setting the dgText property. I tried the send in zero seconds trick but that didn't fix the problem.

Any ideas?

PS Forgot to mention that the code is invoked from a popup menu associated with the datagrid when the user clicks the right mouse button and the code for that is in the rwo template behavior scrit I've associated with the datagrid.

Where did you add the send in 0 seconds? Was it in the menuPick handler of the popup menu?

I put the send in the handler that is in the datagrid group script and it was a send to the card that contains the front script handler.

In case it helps, here's the roadmap of the various code elements.

User right clicks - code to trap this and display the popup menu is in the custom behavior script for the datagrid.
User selects an option from the popup menu - code in the popup menu script issues a call command for a handler in the datagrid group to process the the selected option.
The handler in the datagrid calls the front script handler.

I also tried moving the code that is in the datagrid group script into the popup menu script but got the same result.

Thanks,

Try adding the send to the code in in the popup menu that is triggered when the user makes a selection.

Thanks Trevor, that fixed it
