Hi,
I have a problem with my datagrid, look at the following picture (click on it to see all the picture):



As you can see, the second column appear empty, but I correctly filled it. Looking in the property window I see that there are the values in the second column.
I used dgText or dgData property to fill the table, in both cases I obtain the second column empty. It' s stange since Livecode says that there are values in that column.
The datagrid in this particular case has 38'873 rows and 9 columns.
What do you think? Where is the problem?

Show us your code with DgText (the easiest way, dgData with arrays is more tricky).

Hi.

What Bankok said. But real quick, what does this show in the group script: Click somewhere in the DG. What do you see?

The result of: is and it's right.

The result of is
If you open and look carefully at the image, on the left there is the data grid and on the right the DgText. So why on Property/Content I can see the column data and on the datagrid not?

Have you checked the visible property of the second column ?

Otherwise : try to create a new DG.

Hi MaxV,

What are the columns name of your DataGrid and how are you populating it?



Best,

Hi Zryip,
the column name is "livello" and I tried two method using dgText and dgData, you can test the script on: http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/7 ... administer

It's a strange bug...

Hi MaxV,

I explored the datagrid template of your datagrid.

For columns "Livello" and "Domanda" you have a custom template. You have probably clicked on the + button at the right of the "column behavior" button in the "columns" tab of the inspector.

When a column has a custom behavior, the datagrid engine adds 2 items in the datagrid template:
- a group named with the column name. This group contains a "_columndata_" field
- a button named with the column name + "behavior"

For columns without custom behaviors, the datagrid engine uses a standard script located in the datagrid library. For columns linked to a custom behavior the datagrid is using the column button behavior located in the datagrid template.

For example for column "Livello" you should have:
- a group "livello"
- a button "livello behavior"


In your case the button "livello behavior" is missing (card id 1005 in your datagrid template substack) . That is the reason this column remains empty and do not react to double click.

Deleting the column will not solve the problem, because the inspector is not deleting the column group in the datagrid template. So when you will recreate the column with the same name, it will be linked again to the missing custom behavior.

Assuming you are not a Data Grid Helper user, for fixing the issue:

• 1. Double-click on the datagrid group to open the inspector
  2. In the "Basic properties" tab, click on the "Row template" button
  3. In the template card, select the group, then edit it
  4. Select the "Livello" group (it has not name and should be located at the left of the "domanda" group
  5. Delete the "Livello" group
  6. Save the template card and close it
  7. The link to the column custom behavior should be removed, and your "livello" column behaving as expected.

In case a DGH user would read this message and would be confronted to a similar problem with a datagrid:

• 1. Select the column in the DGH column builder
  2. delete it.
  3. Confirm the dialog warning about the presence of custom behavior for the column. DGH will delete the column and the corresponding controls in the datagrid template.
  4. Recreate the column

Best,

WOW, you are a datagrid master! You solved it!
Thank you!
