Hi jacque

Thanks for edifying me on that. I thought about the seconds but didn't know it used midnight for all , I just assumed it was "Real Seconds"
and didn't want (know how?) to make the adjustment.

Hi I very much agree with mickpitkin92 . but I would go about it in a different way "Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have top do it himself" :wink: First the problem of managing legacy commands/functions etc. - my suggestion would be that a switch back to legacy could be made on a more...

Hi "the date" - will get you today's date but that will return "03/30/15" for me today (30th of March 2015) the American English Format so I need the system date which will pass back the date in the User's home country format (i.e. what is setup in the regional settings) So putting "30/03/2015" into...

Hi After another couple of hours where my meticulous naming conventions lost the plot ... And I mixed up EditCellofIndex for editcell (quite why index is different to the row when I only loaded 4 rows in the content field I'll never know, unless its to do with headers sorting the columns). Anyway he...

HI I was not calling closefiled I meant I was trying to trap it. Actually its with the closefieldeditor I was trapping for the grid. I put this code put the dgHilitedLines of group "datagrid 1" into theLine  put the dgcolumn of the target into theColumn send "EditKeyOfIndex theColumn, theline" to th...

Hi Thank you for all your help. I created a small test stack and "played" for about 4 hours - I have nothing better to do of course. :wink: Here are a few of the handlers I played with on RawKeyDown local lnRow, lcContents, laRowData global lcTheData put the dgHilitedLines of group me into lnRow put...

HI WE have all these handlers we can "override" like closefield , exitfield, focusin, focusout , enterinfield (which is actually the RETURN key ) enter is the key on the numeric keypad. They are not consistent as to when they are called - Ive tried to call closefield from the datagrid script, the co...

Thanks Klaus

Setting the opaque to TRUE did the trick

oops! I typed false in the original post but am confirming that setting opaque to TRUE as Klaus suggested works.


Thanks again

Hi I have managed to change all but one of the properties of the fields/cells in a grid. Basically using the "column name 000x" in a button set the textalign of field "Col2 0003" of group "dg2" to "CENTER" <-- works set the textcolor of field "Col2 0002" of group "dg2" to "RED" <-- works set the hil...

Hi Mats, Is the problem possible to work around easily or has livecode broken it for good? I really don't want to have different versions of livecode running - will you be fixing it soon or at least give me an idea what it could be? Anybody in the livecode team got any idea what has been broken? Tha...

Hi I downloaded rgrid 1.6 I loaded it into the latest commercial stable edition on a Mac. If I click on directory that works. As soon as I click on demo I get this error "button "rGridBehavior": execution error at line 4389 (Chunk: no such object), char 12" if there is a grp id tContainerID then put...

HI I suppose it's RTFM (Read The Fine Manual) time - seems the Datagrid being a group can't get focus so we have to use : set the dgFocus of group "grid1" to true|false Now I have been trying to do the next part of opening up the cell for editing WITHOUT needing to double click. Infact what I wanted...

Hi Simon Thanks for the reply The second line is like you said, I just mistyped in my post Ibshoukd have cut and pasted Both lines give no errors when I press apply The second only gives the error when executing the line. I was hoping if I could get the focus workingb then I could at least send a do...
