Once you customize a column it is up to you to set alignment, etc. You can get the current setting of the column alignment using the dgColumnAlignment property. I believe the following should work in the FillInData handler. set the textalign of field 1 of me to the dgColumnAlignment[the dgColumn of ...

With data grids there is no need to format your raw data before assigning it to the data grid. A data grid allows you to customize how the data is displayed at the time it is displayed without affecting the underlying data stored in the data grid. Take a look at the lesson " How Do I Customize A Tab...

One small tweak Jan. Change dgData to dgProps and your handler should be good to go.

Creating a data grid table that mimics a Revolution field with tabstops set is pretty straightforward and doesn't require any additional work. Take a look at this lesson. How Do I Create My First Data Grid Table? When it comes to customizing data grid tables and forms it is more complicated than bas...

Take a look at the executionContexts Brian. It returns the chain of calls leading up to the current spot in a script where it is called.

Here is a lesson that shows how to install an external so that it loads in the IDE and can be included when building a standalone.

When using a variable with "send" the engine treats this: send "DBsearch" && SQLquery to stack "TCS" differently than this: send "DBsearch SQLquery" to stack "TCS" In the later the variable is treated as a single parameter to the function DBsearch. If you want your send statements to always behave h...

Sounds good to me

Note that if you are using the default column behavior then the data grid will save the contents (because the column behavior passes all three params to EditFieldText) of pFieldEditor again unless you pass "cancel". If you pass cancel though you have to make sure the data gri...

This lesson will describe the calls you can use and links to the API docs which provide the details of each. How Do I Open a Table Cell For Editing? As for you partic...

No worries. Glad you got everything working.

All controls in a row template will receive their normal engine messages so a mouseUp script in a checkbox should work, assuming nothing else is getting in the way. Is there any change there is a nother control in front of the checkbox? When you click on the checkbox does the hilite state of it chan...

Awesome. Definitely send me a link. I would love to see it.

The thread you reference has solutions you can use. If you are refreshing the data grid from a row behavior then you must use send in time. If, however, you are processing all engine events in the data grid script then you don't have to worry since the data grid won't be deleted. I've updated the le...
