button not showing in column

Post by pmc » Fri Oct 01, 2010 12:44 pm

Hi All,
I have been trying to put buttons, text, etc into the data grid without success. When I follow the tutorial, I still would not get the buttons, etc to show up. Very frustrating. Is there a easier way to do this?
I have created a button at the column template but it isn't showing up at all. What is wrong? Please see images 'capture11, 2 & 3"

On another problem, I create 3 tabs (Tab1, Tab2 and Tab3) and create 3 cards (card1, card2 and card3) to house the tab panel. Then I edit the script for the tab (using group edit as I have group the tab panel). Below is the scrip :

on menuPick Tab1
go to card card1
end menuPick
on menuPick Tab3
go to card3
end menuPick

It doesn't work. I am using Windows Vista 'Business' OS. Is there a problem with RevStudio running on Vista? Or is is me?

Thank you very much for any help.

Problem with the Tab panel is all objects in Tab1 shows up in Tab2 and Tab3 as well. And same with the objects in Tab2 and Tab3. They shows up on all Tabs! When I am in card3 which holds the Tab3 objects, objects in Tab1 show up as well. I have to made the Tab3 objects big to cover the Tab1 objects! Surely this is not the way.

Haha...got it. You are not supposed to place objects in the tab panel while in the edit 'group' mode. No wonder my objects are all over the place.

Hi pmc,

I looked at the pictures you posted. In Capture2.GIF your data grid doesn't have any data in it so any custom controls you defined would not show up since there are no rows of data to render. Have you tried putting some sample data into the Data Grid?

Tip: It is best to avoid posting multiple problems to the same thread. Rather create a new thread for each individual problem.
