Deleting a datagrid

Post by Rob van der Sloot » Wed Feb 24, 2016 8:58 am

Hi all,

I am in the proces of developing an app where many datagrids are used to present data from a sql database.
In the developing proces I often like to delete a datagrid and start over again with a new one.
This works much nicer then to work the whole datagrid around all the time.
But deleting a datagrid is not always easy. Sometimes it works with the delete key on the keybpord, sometimes I have to do ctrl-x to cut it away, but also sometimes it just does not want to be deleted. Then I make it invisible, but thats not clean programming of course.
What is the best strategy to delete a datagrid? I can't find anything about that in the Datagrid Api.

Thanks

Maybe you can use deleteGroup as the datagrid is a group. Look in the dictionary.
cut the datagrid and it still resides, i don't know why, but you can still see it in the stacks tab of the standalone settings.

It's also fun when there is a fault in the datagrid -not-, i had it several times, i had to create a new stack and copy all except the datagrid.
I could not get rid of the fault.

i did not try deletegroup yet, let me know if it works.

Groetjes!

Hi friends,

FYI: "deletegroup" is a message and not a command! 8)


Best
