dataGrid - set the dgData[TRUE] to tText

[Shao Sean-2]

should the following not work? line 1 "moo" and "cow" would be the  
labels of the columns and line 2 "pig" and "oink" would be the data  
for each of the columns.. all i get is an empty data grid..


on mouseUp
   set the dgText[TRUE] of group "DataGrid" to "moo" & TAB & "cow" &  
LF & \
          "pig" & TAB & "oink"
end mouseUp

works for me if I use CR instead of LF and if there are already at  
least two
(unlabled) columns  in the DG :-)

Sorry, just did a test, and this does not work here either?
Oops, the column names must be a comma separated list, but that does  
not work, too?


TREVOR! :-D

In the code above "moo" and "cow" would have to be the name of the  
columns. The columns would have to already exist if you are passing in  
the names. Do they?

I think I just posted the same question as Shao Sean on the
screensteps documentation site for the datagrid.  Apologies for that
Trevor.  Feel free to answer me here or on that site (I think I also
spotted an error in the sample data on the relevant screensteps page).

Basically my question was "is it possible to determine the the number
of columns and the names of the columns using dgText[true] without
resorting to the property inspector."

This does not work, but should, right?

on mouseUp
    put "moo,cow" into tCols
    put "moo moo" & TAB & "cow cow" & CR & "pig" & TAB & "oink" into  
tContent
    set the dgtext[true] of grp "DataGrid" to tCols & CR & tContent
end mouseUp

Only if you have already defined "moo" and "cow" columns in the data  
grid. When you include column names in the dgText the data grid will  
not create them for you automatically.

When you fetch the dgText just set pIncludeColumnNames to true the  
column names will be included on line 1.

put the dgText[true] of group "DataGrid" into theText -- line 1 has  
column names

I just noticed that this isn't included in the API docs (it was added  
in 1.0.0 build 8 which was included in gm-2) so I updated them.

AHA! My fault, I thought one could provide the wanted column LABELS in  
the first line.

Thanks for the info!

Trevor, thanks for your speedy responses.

Is it possible that one could set the number & names of columns in a
future version?  Or would that just not be possible given the
motivation & design behind the DataGrid?

You should use the dgProps["columns"] property to do that.

Hi

No problems getting the global variable $1 working on a runrev windows
standalone to determine what data file was dropped on the application or
double-clicked to launch the standalone but how do you do this on OSX?

Discovered if the data file is really a renamed stack set to be opened
by the osx compiled rev standalone then that works ok (stack just runs
and no need for $1) but what if you do not want to use a rev stack file
for your data file container or want to activate the rev app by dropping
a data file onto the standalone application icon sitting on your dock?

regards
alex

Use an AppleEvent handler for Macs:

on appleEvent pClass, pID
   if pClass is "aevt" and pID is "odoc" then
     -- the file path is in the appleEvent data
     request appleEvent data
     put it into tFilePath
     -- open the file here
   else
     pass appleEvent
   end if
end appleEvent

Not too certain about others, but why does the data grid not  
automatically do it?

The scenario that came to mind when I was deciding whether or not to  
automatically create columns when passing in headers as the first key:

Application has a table and allows user to select a text file to  
import. The text file has some additional columns besides those being  
defined in the table. As a developer do you want those extra columns  
to automatically be displayed in the table?

Maybe, maybe not. It is simple enough to create the columns yourself  
if you do and this way there are no unintended consequences in your  
shipping application.

It is true that setting the dgText without providing column headers  
will create columns for you but really that was only done so that a  
developer using a table for the first time could enter some data in  
the property inspector and see it appear in the data grid.

Thanks Jacqueline!

That and setting values for the standalone OSX settings: Document Type &
Document Extension, solved things.

kind regards
