LiveCode 8 datagrid

Post by lohill » Thu Dec 08, 2016 6:51 pm

In LiveCode 8 while in the Inspector for a datagrid I cannot seem to find "Text" like I could in LiveCode 7. Where is it that I can set the font and font size for the text in a datagrid?

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,

this is a known bug and I hope it will get fixed soon!
See entry in qualtity center: http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18177

In the meantime you need to do this by script like:
...
set the textfont of grp "Datagrid 1" to "Arial"
# etc. for more text properties
...

Thanks Klaus,

I assume that could just be done one time per datagrid from the message box and all would be taken care of. I have been going back to version 7 to do it and then have come back to version 8 to continue work.
