Copy/Paste Datagrids

[teacherguy]

Still finding dg's pretty intimidating, put making decent progress. I have a card set up with several of them, and I'm now ready to treat all elements of the card as a background for making new cards. I notice that I can check "treat as background" for all of my groups except the datagrids. I assume this is because each datagrid must be a unique group id.

So my question is: Am I OK to copy these datagrids and paste them onto my new cards? This would give them a new unique id yes? Or is there a better approach?

Hi Brian,

I too am struggling to get a handle on Datagrids.

This Livecode Lesson may give you some guidance on copying a Datagrid.

Thanks James. Pretty sure in my case the issues are/have been:

Making sure that I attach a duplicated grid to the proper row template

Making sure that the grid that needs the focus actually has it (I have some over-layed, yikes)

Getting column behaviors understood and implemented properly

My head hurts for sure, lol.
