Found this: replaceText(stringToChange, matchExpression, replacementString) from Dictionary. then replaceText("Description","cr"," ") looks like it should work. Does not work. Not enough information. The field is Description. I want to either remove or change carriage returns so that they do not cau...

EXCELLENT! Works.
Thank you.

Not being miserly. This was all the relative code. Trying to keep it simple.
Help appreciated.

I did. Plus went to the samples and tutorials without finding anything like this. Here's what needs to happen: An image in a DataGrid field needs to change according to the id of the listing. The data for the listing is taken from multiple tables in one database. The table that references the images...

The rest of the code doesn't pertain to that.
Check this out:
set the text of field "Begins" of me to pDataArray["label 3"]
put the long date into field "Begins"

This does go in the Row Behavior, right?
If so, it doesn't work.
Also tried in field script and changing fld to field in each.
Doesn't work there either.
Suggestions?

Needing to load images into DataGrid from MySQL database as needed. I have written a query that gets the ID of the needed image. The required image is not in the table. The actual image is in a folder. The table only contains the names of the image and not their locations. The rest of the location n...

I have field that is populated with a URL from a MySQL database. A URL, of course, is one string with no spaces, in this case can be wider than the field containing it. That is the problem. The URL needs to be forced to wrap according to the width of the field, not truncate. I have looked for ways t...

I have a description field that is called from a MySQL database. It has carriage returns and/or line feeds that cause parts of the text to go to Description field in a new row it creates, then into the next row, and the next row, until all the returns in the field are used. The problem is how to kee...

"put the long date into field----" only puts date in every 2nd or 3rd field. It was putting the change in every other field, then every third field, but never every field. How does one get this to work on all fields? Boxes are unchecked for having this happen.

Instead of reinventing the wheel I used a static list of the 50 states. Then used that choice to query the database. Putting that result into DataGrid was next. I decided not drill down any further, in displaying the data by city instead of state. Problem solved.
Thanks.

Will do.
What I'm building is hopefully probably something a lot of folks might be able to use, a state, city, facility, pulldown menu using database selected items. I see lots of them around. I have one that works in php.


Any input appreciated.

Super reply. Sure nuff missed max tho. There have been multiple epiphanies though. I found this one was a little strange tho. Once I found the way the data grid is able to display, the default area turned out to be really small. That's how I missed it. I can laugh now but at first :evil: . Whew! Got...

If I can help it. Not relative to anyone's work status.
I will look into those.

Thank you.

I agree with Quentin. The complexity of the datagrid makes it where it needs excellent documentation for the beginner and the advanced user, for the free AND the premium, IF there is to be new blood into the life of LiveCode. The documentation for LiveCode is terrible, especially for the beginner an...

How does one get pull down menu button to populate from database (MySQL) and have those items be able to be selected as menu items, then send that selection to the next button, and the next button.The button sequence is State->City->Facilities List->List of events at that facility in DataGrid. Succi...
