Data grid inside a tab control problems

I have not been able to get a data grid to work inside a Tab Panel. Has any one tried this?

Inside the same stack outside of the Tab Panel the grid works fine, but not inside the Tab Panel.

Is this a restriction on the use of the data grid?

Dear chris9610,

What kind of problems do you see?

I can add content in the object inspector but it does not populate and columns can be named in the inspector with no results in the grid.

I was trying to use the data grid in a Tab Panel but as soon as the grid is moved into the Tab Panel Group it stops working.

I tried first by placing the data grid in the Tab Panel then tried setting the properties, No Go.

I then tried creating the data grid in the stack outside of the Tab Panel and I was able set properties and add data. Then I dragged the grid into the Tab Panel and the data grid stopped working until I moved it back out of the Tab Panel.

So there seem to be undocumented restrictions on the use of data grids.

Hi chris9610,

That sounds like a bug to me. You might want to report it.

Best,

Mark

There aren't any inherent restrictions on using a Data Grid within another group. Is it possible for you to post an example stack somewhere that shows the problem?
