So I'm guessing the thundering silence can be interpreted as a no then?

Anybody?

sritcp: Thank you so much. That solved my problem perfectly. I just knew it was something I was doing wrong. DataGrids are a godsend, but yes, as everybody knows, very complex and obtuse beasts. I'm sure I will be using ColumnControlOfIndex a lot in the future. I have much to learn still. Adjusting ...

Thanks for the excellent tip Jacque. I guess i'll try "rolling my own" checkboxes. They have certainly been a headache inside a DataGrid and I have custom comboboxes already. My Mac certainly sets/clears a checkbox when pressing the spacebar there is just no visual cue that the checkbox in question ...

Well this is a little disheartening. I was attempting to make my simple little example easier to understand on a Mac. First I added a red hilite border to Col 2 so you can see when it has focus on a Mac. Works in Win 7 but not OSX 10.10.2. Darn. So I tried skinning the buttons. A little sketchy as t...

Klaus; Thanks so much for looking. I didn't know you were on a Mac so I tried it on mine and I see where the confusion is. On my Win 7 machine the check boxes are hilited when they have the focus. By that I do not mean checked but a red dotted line around the text "New button" indicating the checkbo...

Thanks for the help so far. I have named the stacks on my 2nd try and saved them as 5.5 and tested it on my 6.1.3 box, everything is the same. Here is my testing sequence of keystrokes: double click into Col 1 then tab,tab,"a",tab,tab,tab,"b",tab,tab,tab,"c",tab,tab,tab,"d",tab,tab,tab,"e",tab,tab,t...

OK, Here's the code. Please someone have a quick look. Just a DataGrid and a tiny bit of code to facilitate data entry by keyboard ... and the checkbox version that loses it's place on line 7. The problem occurs when tabbing from line 6 to the newly created line 7 and then to the checkbox. So my tes...

What "awesome" news. Sorry ... I couldn't resist.

I have stumbled into a free font called Font-Awesome. It is an iconic unicode vector font with 585 icons that are truly superb. Totally scalable with all the standard web icons for Twitter, facebook, Tux, Win etc etc etc. They are intended for web designers but I use them in LiveCode like so: set th...

So sad. Regular price is $240.00 US.

Services don't generally have a user interface component. User interfaces are a real strength of LiveCode so I choose other tools to write services. That said, I've heard the new LiveCode Builder in LiveCode 8 allows you to write headless apps that would be very suitable for services where the LiveC...

Unfortunately that is not an option for keyboard only input. I do use AddLine to add "tab & tab & tab & cr" to the DataGrid then then EditCellOfIndex to edit the line. All good until the n+1th line when sending focus to the checkbox goes to the wrong line. I'm trying to find relevant things to say o...

Still no files attached. Now it tells me the extension is not allowed and they didn't have any. I suspect it won't let me attach a file no matter what the extension is due to my low post count. Please PM me and I'll email them. They are only about 20KB each.

The forum didn't attach my files. I'm trying again but it failed telling me the extensions "livecode" and "rev" are not allowed so I'll have to kill the extensions. They are in fact livecode stacks.

I am attempting a data entry app using a DataGrid. I have run into a wall and am hoping that it is just inexperience and not a bug. I have scanned the forums and the web to no avail so I am now asking the experts. I have built a tiny example that demonstrates my technique and the problem. First the ...
