LiveCode Forums.

I am new to Rev, having purchased my package during the last Mega promotion, but having not yet begun to use it until yesterday.

I want to create a table for data entry - one line per record - where each column will be a specific data type. I see a way to create Text, Numeric and Date columns, but what I'd like to do is create a TEXT column comprised of codes that can be selected from a dropdown list or radio buttons.

So, is there a way to create a radio button as one of the columns in a data grid table? My users won't know what internal codes to enter into specific fields, so I'm trying to make it easy for them to do the data entry.

I saw mention of a Data Grid Manual in some of the posts, but I haven't been able to locate it. Is it separate from the standard RunRev User Manual?

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi JE,

look here:

You can also download the docs as a PDF file from there!

While the link Klaus pointed to you is still valid and up to date you can now find the docs on the RunRev lessons site.

In addition to the Data Grid manual there are a lot of other lessons that help you accomplish common tasks.

Thanks to both of you for pointing me in the right direction.
