Re: Dynamically set dgColumnWidth

I had considered looping through each column header to ascertain length. I also considered a similar process for cell data since typically this is wider than the header. This all seemed awkward and was wondering if there was something a little more elegant. The column widths reset, and there is no o...

Re: setRegistry - DWORD

Without the get, the set generates a Livecode "can't find handler" error.
With the get, I get a change in the registry value, however it is reported as invalid.

Code: Select all

put "2" into tValue
get setRegistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden", tValue, "dword")
Anyone help getting "tValue" in the right format?

Re: How can I check values for a table column?

Thanks Claus!

The repeat is what I had implemented but wondered about an alternative.
