Thanks Thierry,

This is just the help I needed, I'll post again when I have completed some experiments.

Thanks

Hi, I would like to add the ability to write key word tags to files in Mac OS X. I have found details in the LC dictionary of how to access the resource fork (OS9?) but not how to write to the extended attributes of Mac OSX files. Googling suggests I need to use the OS command "xattr" and process so...

Hi, I have spent the last few hours experimenting with drag and drop. While I have written code that works it feels a clumsy and over complicated so I would appreciate any comments. The code below is in a behavior button used by two list fields. The aim is to allow the user to select complete lines/...

Hi again, I have discovered a repeatable method of putting a datagrid into a state where modifying the code in the row behavior button fails to restore correct operation. In summary if the line exit to top is used things break. However, if the line is removed the datagrid remains broken until Liveco...

Thanks for your comments. I have LC 8 DP16 and will look for a log file. Quailcreek your set up is the same as mine, when you say you use Dgs often are you customising them with additional controls and editing/adding behavior buttons? I think that I shall have to investigate further but I am wonderi...

Hi, I have just started to use Livecode (7.1.3) after break and am refreshing my knowledge (ha!) on the working of Datagrids. I have created a simple stack that imports a list of names and addressed and I am displaying this list in two datagrids on the same card. I have no specific problem of the “h...

Thanks - I will have a look if I am able to locate my old code.

I have a sort of answer: first do not alter the values in the string passed as pControlRect as it may cause problems. Second it seems to me that a line causes a problem because the datagrid does not allow a line to increase the height of a line in a form. My line has item 2 = item 4 in its rect whic...

I wonder if you can save the name of the current field in a global (which is updated on closeField, say), and use it with the key information gleaned separately. Thanks it works : I added a custom property to the datagrid group and populate it with the name of the field in the row behavior handler ...

The code snip was in a button behavior used as the CustomFieldEditor. I have tried of the target and of me and both return the field name as "DataGridFieldEditor".

Bump 3 years...... have passed,

Was an answer found ? I am trying to do similar with a datagrid.

Hi Craig, Yes, depending on where I put the code I can get either the name of the field but no detection of keydown or I get the keydown but the field is reported as the ghost fieldeditor field. I am trying to emulate an outline app where in return in the title adds a new row/record and a return in ...

Hi, I would like my code to react to the return key being pressed in one of the two fields on my datagrid form. I have trapped the key press in both a custom field editor script and the script of the datagrid group but I am unable to determine which field is being edited. on returnInField put the sh...

Hi Richard, Thanks for both your replies and I apologise for not seeing them earlier. I am creating a simple (ha) note taking application for my own use. I'm doing it partly to replace an OmniOutliner File plus Applescripts that is creaking a bit and partly to have a go both with styled text and dat...

Sri,

Thanks for spotting my silly mistake!

best wishes
