you can make a copy of an existing datagrid group no?....isn't the "template stack" stored in one of the internal properties of the group?.... perhaps make a copy but change the template that it references ...and for sure u can change the template via the code.

Hey Sean, thanks for answering .... I actually did mean "minimum limit" thinking that IF THERE IS A LIMIT its at least 255. The filenames are not long.... but the absolute paths inside livecode might be...depending on where the user decides to store their data. I did end up on that Wikipedia page to...

Hello friends, My app is coming along great, I am writing file operation functions. My plan was to use filenames and folder names to help me get information more quickly, and so I am using relevant ID numbers to name them. My ID numbers are UUIDs. My concern is whether I can possibly run into proble...

Hi everyone, So I have an INI file that sits in my Application's Path I read each line of it and put the setting into an array. Everything works well, except that the file does not load cleanly unless it is saved as ASCII. Notepad's standard save is UTF-8. The INI file will be saved from WITHIN Live...

Roger that! Thanks Klaus!

Ok... well.... thse are the main points that made me think of this strantegy I am using SQL lite as a database for each user Each user will only ever write in his/her database and only read that of the other users (I did it this way, because using SQLLite I can read the same file no matter how many ...

The reason for this is that each user gets their own database of records, but these records interact with eachother......and I didn't want to construct a temporary database that would combine all the users databases into one giant one to search it. So my plan was to load all of them into memory AS O...

and 3. Do Data grids require a the root key to have a numerical index? Is it different for setting the dg Data or setting the dg Text?

Heloo geniuses Just want to ask a few questions as I am planning my strategy for new more complex sections of my app. 1. I have read in this forum, the the "for each element" or "for each key" are very fast, capable of handling many many records very quickly. My plan is to store all data in an array...

The one that works is set to true and the one that doesn't .... doesn't show the bar at all if its set to auto. the script on FILLINDATA is literally 1 line at this point. Could it be a wait issue? maybe it doesn't have time to update. where would I put the wait command? I clear it by setting dgdata...

Hi everyone, I am creating a datagrid, which I have successfully done before ..... and I am having problems with the scrollbar. It isn't activating / updating on FILLINDATA. I have made a datagrid before.... compared the code of both ....1 works the other doesn't. But the code doesn't seem like its ...
