LiveCode Forums

I just found your sample and it gives me ideas.
I new that there were ways of creating a datagrid type of interface and this is great.
Thanks for your contribution. I am studying this sample with great expectations.

Thanks Craig.

Thanks Klaus.
When I add a parameter to an object, does this initiate a change in the message path that allows the detection of the parameter?

When I use the following code, what actually happens? This is the code for a button object: on MouseUp pBtnNum --answer pBtnNum if pBtnNum = 3 then answer "ok" end MouseUp I am assuming that by adding the parameter pBtn to the “on MouseUp” command that this allows me to access the pBtn in the script...

Klaus, I don't know. when I initially did this script, it worked. Now,it does not recognise my group and stars with other objects on my card. I am completely baffled. I am just going to use ""the ChildControlName" command for now. It has been working flawlessly for now. I even tried the LiveCode ver...

OK, my report back. Klaus, using "OF" group in the code above does not work, nothing changed. I went back to the code and tried. Craig, I have not tried the "if the owner of fld xField = theGroupOfInterest then..." yet. But I may use that elsewhere. But apparently Of and The are not the same and nei...

Craig,
That may work, I'll explore that.
It does seem to be a little more code, depending on how many objects are on your card.
Thanks, all suggestions are valuable even for later use.

Klaus,
after some thought, using "of" makes sense to me. I didn't think about that.
Thanks again you are always most helpful with my questions.

Hi Klaus,
are you saying the key word for this script is "of" Group, not "in" Group that I was using?

I bring items to the forum for 2 reasons: 1. to get answers/advice from more experienced users and 2 . to expose other users to problems that I am having with LiveCode. Call this "Lessons Learned" I have been working with Group Objects as of late. I thought I was having good experiences using code t...

Klaus,
That works. I don't know why I didn't see that before.
Again, Thanks

Thanks Klaus I will try that.

I know that I can have groups on multiple cards. But, how do I share a table or a field on 2 cards that reflect the same data? for example: if I have a table on one card and I want to see and edit that same table on another card. I have made groups with fields that are shared on 2 cards but they don...

That's something to keep in mind.
Thanks.

Yes, I tried that too.
I tried everything.
I have taken the time to rewrite my code and I seem to have gotten rid of the hidden culprit, wherever it is.
