AFAIK all the datagrid information is contained in the 'Revolution Datagrid pdf'... maybe it is because it has been created by a third party, namely 'Blue Mango' and did not come out of runRev ... ? you can find it here...

Thanks. Don't quite understand why dataGrid related tokens are not in the dictionary though. Seems kind of odd.

I am relatively new to LC… how long have we had dataGrids?

The datagrid was created by Trevor DeVore and his Blue Mango learning. It was shortly sold as an add-on and then incorporated into the LC IDE about 2 years ago. All documentation exists at the lessons site, which's technology is made by Blue Mango Learning.

My guess is that when the deal was made, RunRev did not want to write documentation, so Blue Mango said they would maintain a help system based on their own platform.

Note that the Datagrid is third-party add on. In other words, there's nothing in the datagrid that is not native LC. So you chould replicate the whole thing on your own, using LC, and a lot of time.
