DataGrid Row Template Stack not responding

Post by Gage » Sun May 05, 2013 10:28 pm

Hi all,

So, I didn't know where to add this thread, so I landed here.

I have a substack containing the Row Templates for a few DataGrids in my app that is not displaying the Properties Inspector, no matter what approach I take. I have tried right-clicking, selecting Property Inspector from the Application Browser, clicking the Inspector Icon, and the Object Menu. Nothing is responsive, and furthermore, the only way I can close the Row Template card once it is open is by Quitting LiveCode.

I am completely mystified about what to do, or about what could be wrong. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Phil E.

Somehow, while backspacing as I typed, text in the field I was editing got inserted into the stack title. I have no idea what command I inadvertently sent, but now the stack name is titled "Row Template for DG "Edit"".

Since it does have the second set of quotation marks inside it, I think it is giving LiveCode grief when the program tries to access it. Problem is, I can't access it in any way to be able to change the name and see if that works.

I tried to use the Message Box with "set the name of stack "Row Template for DG "Edit"" to "Right Name"
However, this returned an error:
Script compile error:
Error description: set: missing 'to'

So, I am at a loss, and have no clue how it happened (my guess is some combination of Shift+Delete+Space or some letter key). I am on a Mac, so Delete is like Backspace.

Hope this clarifies my problem more, so I can get a suggestion!
