Tree type structure in a datagrid

Post by jon@armasoft.co.uk » Mon Jul 31, 2017 12:37 pm

I'm trying to create a tree type structure within a datagrid similar to image 5 in http://lessons.livecode.com/m/datagrid/ ... e-examples, but am at a loss where to start.

The example suggests that you can split a datagrid into sections which can be expanded/collapsed by ticking a box, but I can't find any example code or lesson explaining the concept.

Could someone please help?

Looks like I'll be able to do what I want by modifying the 'LayoutControl' of the behaviour script and adding some 'dummy' records into the data when changing section.

Hi.

I see, and hope, you have found your own solution.

I know your question languished for a while. I only post to tell you that most helpers here (except perhaps Klaus) shy away from rushing in to answer DG questions. Anyway, i do. DG's are complicated, and when I see a query about them, I tend to immediately look for easier fare. :wink:
