[Mr LiveCode man]

Hey guys, I've been able to put normal text and pictures into a data grid, but i need to put a record in with out having to manually put all the data in, does anyone know what i have to do to do this?

What do you mean by "record" ?

Data coming from a database for instance ?

If yes, nothing special or different from regular text.

Code: Select all

      put false into pFirstLineContainsHeaders 
      set the dgText [ pFirstLineContainsHeaders  ] of group "myDataGrid" to myData

Bangkok, you may know this already but the above can be abbreviated to

Code: Select all

 set the dgText of group "myDataGrid" to myData

This will work fine as long as you are using the default (false) setting for dgText.

Thanks for that, i shall see if it works By record i mean a 2-D array with different data types.

Cheeeers.

EDIT : I think that would work but I'm having trouble putting any data into the data grid. Is there something i need to do , to get the data grid to update with the new data?
