Stam,

Understood, I retract my suggestion.

Thanks.

Hi mallwrithing, So I suspect their are folks that will say this is a bad practice, but I have been using a "$" global variable for years and it works great and I do not have to do anything special. It is available anywhere in my app I am working on. I call my global "$X". I put data into the global...

Hello, I just installed 10.0 on my new Windows 11 laptop, it seemed slow so found this thread but then it finished fine, took about 10 minutes.

Hello Bernd, thanks for the sample stack, pretty neat and nice that you put all the extra controls. Very easy to see how it works. Worked great for me in ver 9.6.13.

Sort of related to this thread. I created a field with number formatting and I added it to my object library so I can place the object on any new card I am working on. Think it works pretty well and I am in US, so that is what I use it for. So thought I would share it, may be helpful to some. Lance

Hello Bernd,

Your improvements keep coming. Put your updates into the sample and worked great. Attaching an updated zip file with 'our' work:).

Cheers.

Bernd, nice improvement. Thanks for sharing.

Hello, So for my purposes to use PolyGrid vs DataGrid there are two things i have not been able to figure out how to do, perhaps one of you have? 1. How to get a multiple line column header? I can only get a single line to work. In DataGrid I can type multiple lines in a text editor and copy>paste a...

So I had put PolyGrid in the closet for some time and decided to take another look at using it more as it is so fast. I went back to direct cell editing and have a very simple sample where if you click on a cell a field is sized the same as the cell and allows you to update the cell content. Works p...

Some good points RIchard. It potentially could cause issues in terms of backwards compatibility. I wonder if you could simple add some sort of command in the main open stack event like "set fieldTextChangedEvent to true" if you wanted this this new trigger to work?

Thanks for all the replies, appreciate it. The "dispatch" idea from Stam looks like my most likely solution. Sounds like everyone would really like a textChanged to be trigged when setting text by code. Seems logical to me. I may be in a position to at least get this in front of the LC team. I have ...

Is there a way to trigger a function when I add data to a field with code? Something like "on textChanged" ?

put "test data" into field "Data"

then i want that event to trigger another function to update some buttons that become enabled with there is data available in field "Data"

thanks.

Hello, Just thought I would add a comment. I have not done many posts as most of the time I either do not have the answer or the core group has jumped on responses and it appears solved. I do however read my digest email every morning. I enjoy seeing what others are working on and I have gained know...

I have had very good luck using "launch document tFileName" running on Windows 10. I use this line after the launch document command to show me errors. "if the result is not empty then answer the result"
