Can data span multiple columns in a datagrid?

Post by paulsr » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:46 am

Hi.

I am trying to find a way to have data span more than one datagrid column. Sort-of the equivalent of <td colspan="x">.

I've read the comprehensive Livecode Datagrid Guide, but didn't find what I needed.

What I'm trying to do is build a table that has about six columns of data, which then totals the last column at the end of each year. So I need to insert a line that says something like...

Total for year xxxx ...

and then continue with data for the next year. Etc.

But that summary line would need to span a few columns.

Is this possible?

TIA

Good feature request, but I think for now you might have to switch to the form style of data grid to get that.. hopefully someone can prove me wrong though ;-)
