DataGrid not showing data

[CAsba]

Hi,
My dg has just 2 columns and 12 lines of data, all visible when clicking on the third icon from left in inspect mode. and with colours assigned under the sixth icon from the left. The problem is that when in operating mode none of the data is visible.
I can edit the data (that remains invisible) by using a set up of Ctrl-6 and Ctrl-7 to scroll up and down the lines of (invisible) data with ask command, but everything remains invisible.

Hi CAsba,

very hard to tell from afar...
Textcolor is set correctly, so no white text on white background?
Textsize is correct?

You can send me the stack if oyu like an I will take a quick look, if you like: klaus AT major-k.de

If data isn't displaying correctly, you should check the data structure.
The internal data should be a numerically keyed array - you can views this in the property inspector (go the 'custom' tab that shows custom properties and use the drop-down to view dgCache.
I should be in the format

Code: Select all

[1][column1]
[1][column2]
[2][column1]
[2][column2]
...
[n][column1]
[n][column2]

Hi all,

it turned out that the datagrid in question had a VERY RARE case of data corruption.
There was a (numeric) KEY missing in the dgdata:

I could let LC fix this by itself by simply adding a CR to the dgtext of the dg and immeditaley removed it again.
Obviously this made LC create a new "index" in the data and that fixed the whole thing.

I would just be wary that this isn't a corruption but a bug in the OP's code.
If it is a bug, it should recur.

If this reproducibly happens again, then make sure you're code isn't assigning grade to an empty key or some such.

I did not see any code that fills the datagrid with data, so I guess CAsba did this manually , maybe by copy/paste.

... then make sure you're code ...

I am NOT code and never will!
