Datagrid issue with Launcher/Splash screen..

[tasdvl9]

Hello All,

I have an interesting problem.

I'm trying to use a Launcher Screen to call my main application stack. All seems to work well, however, now, the horizontal and vertical scrolls no longer work with my datagrid and I cannot highlight any of the items in the data grid. If I build my main application stack as a standalone all works well.

Any ideas, I followed these instructions but still having issues.

Hi tasdvl9,

this is what I usually do, different from the mentioned lesson.

Add a datagrid to your SPLASH screen stack and simply hide it.
This way the datagrid library will become part of your standalone!

This worked for me in my previous projects!


Best

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for the reply. I actually tried that but still experiencing some problems.

I neglected to mention I am running on Linux. Now sure if this is pertinent or not.

Thanks!

Hmmmm...

Try to add this line right before you open the "external" stack
...
start using stack "name of splash stack here"
go stack "path/to/external/stack.livecode"
...
Know what I mean?

Hi Klaus,

Thanks again.

What I ended up doing was adding the revdatagridlibrary.rev in my launcher/splash screen standalone stack settings.
Not sure why this made a difference but it looks like my datagrid has now been resurrected!

Perhaps this is an issue with Linux. I'll be testing on my Windows system in a bit.

Much appreciated!

For future reference you might look here: http://lessons.runrev.com/m/datagrid/l/ ... -data-grid

Basically, you shouldn't need to add a datagrid to your splash stack, but you DO need to trick the standalone builder into knowing it should include the datagrid support libraries and such.

To do this, you add a substack to your mainstack (the splash stack) named "Data Grid Templates Dud"

I haven't tried it on linux, but it works for me on windows and osx.

Then, I choose what else to include manually in the standalone settings.
