DataGrid with bounce in iOS

Post by teacherguy » Thu Nov 24, 2016 10:18 am

I found some older threads about Monte's ext but it didn't seem to make it as part of the LC acquisition of his externals. Is there a way to have the "can bounce" iOS feature with a DataGrid?

It's part of dropTools. It's not an external, just an object with a script. dropTools is free. There are different versions of the datagridScroller. The later ones scroll the column headings off the screen, too, so I usually use one of the older versions.

The other option is to use one of the table scrollers. Those are discussed in one of the other threads. Scott Rossi did a couple, one is called tableLab and the other is part of the tmControls. tableLab is interesting because it gives you a lot of what you get with a dg. For most purposes, that is sufficient for me, but when I really need a dg, the mergDatagridScroller works great.

Thanks for the info on that Mikey.

I purchased some DropTools years back, and also had a license for mergext before it was included as part of LC. But, I don't currently see a way to download mergDataGridScroller. Sons of Thunder refers me to Monte's site, but his site just says everything is now included in LC. But of course....mergDataGridScroller is not included.

Stumped. I will email Monte.

Mdgs is free, so I'm sure it's lying around. I have it if needed, but I don't use the latest version because of the header scroll

For anyone else interested in this topic, see the iOS release notes regarding "Unbounded vScroll"...no problem get the bounce effect with data grid.
