It appears that you have run into one of the reasons I avoid the datagrid if at all possible. In technical terms, then datagrid in your stack is "Broken." I would suggest making a backup of your stack just in case, then delete the broken datagrid. I would even go so far as to answer "YES" when it as...

First look here: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/datagrid/l/7311-how-do-i-customize-a-table-s-columns You'll want to create a custom column template for your quantity column. You'll also want to create a custom column template for your total column for that item. You'll want to script for the behavior...

When you "dispatch" you have to make sure livecode knows where to find the control you're dispatching to. If you only provide the control name, it looks at stack that the dispatch is being sent from. So if you have a button in one stack, and you want to dispatch to a control in another stack you nee...

Agreed! Nothing like jumping off into the deep end. Thankfully there are lots of lessons and tips and tricks re: the datagrid, but even so. If I can accomplish a task ANY other way, I do. (For most of my uses its way to complex to mess with) I use dataGrids, and am fond of saying I do not understand...

You should probably look at the lessons here: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/datagrid to get a better grasp of the datagrid. From your code, it looks like you're building an array, and specifying a key of 1 (myarray[1]) Then you set the dgdata to myarray. This overwrites the current contents of the d...

Heres my take on this.. Its set up to resize a graphic, but could be adapted for a stack. To test, open a stack and place 2 rectangles on it. Name one "maskRect' the other "dragRect" Group them and name the group "maskG", then paste the script into the group. local sSizing,sSlope,sMinSize on mouseDo...

Are you sure you have a card named "about?" Right after you try to go to the card, put this.. answer the result If there is a problem when you try to go to the card it will appear in "the result" for example, if I try to go to a card that doesn't exist, the result contains "No such card". Hopefully ...

Alas, email to that address goes bouncy bouncy bouncy.

Nice site, good layout. Have you thought of putting together a book? (you can e-publish pretty easily, and/or let people pay for a printing if they want paper)

Does seem to be a great site to learn from.

Yes its possible. But heres the thing. You need to understand your own goal well enough to break the problem down into parts that you can solve. You said.. "This will only work for 1 auto increment, but there will be more for each button.." if each button gives the same amount per second, its easy. ...

I haven't poked through the whole thread yet, but.. Do you know how to save information to a file yet? Well first.. Look in the dictionary under "seconds" In your message box if you: put the seconds it'll pop out a number representing the current time in seconds. So yes, you would want to store that...

It sounds like you need to know the time of the last update before closing the app, the final amount, and any owned "factories". At which point, the next time you open up the stack, you read in the previous balance, figure out the time since last access and do the math to update your score to the cu...

Theres another thing I do on windows that makes things easier.. put shortfilepath("D:\test folder\subfolder") into tPath at which point tPath has the old style 8.3 no spaces path to the file. merge can be pretty helpful too. If you have this string saved.. "attrib +h [[tPath]]" in a variable named t...

The reason the img dissapears is because the character that it is linked to leaves the viewport, so the engine stops rendering it. The same happens with groups, for the same reason. If you want to get around this problem, you can us a cheater method. Use a separate scroll bar, mask off your viewing ...

With 8 dp3 I can see the required properties to work with the datagrid. 2nd icon (at the top) datagrid, then for me an error pops up that I ignore (for now), and THEN wait.... about 5 seconds.. And then resize the inspector and voila' there they are. Simple *cough* After the first time things work w...
