Is it possible to add a column to an external datawindow at runtime...?
Hi All, Is it possible to dynamically add a new column to an external datawindow at runtime...? Thanks in advance for your response. Jein. Yes, but it's ugly. As I recall, you have to replace the DataWindow.Table attribute as a whole to make a place in the buffer, as well as adding the visible attributes of the column and any label. Look at an export of an existing DW to see what you need to do.

datawindow.column.count not returning the column count of a datawindow
I am having problems with the datawindow.column.count property of a datawindow. It just started happening with PB 6.501 and still works fine in PB 5.0. The function that looks at this property is in an ancestor userobject. The dataobject is assigned at this point but all other properties of the datawindow are missing. Any suggestions? Don't recall, but was it still dwDescribe() in version 5.0? If it was that may be your problem.

DataWindow.NET

If I configure my computer to use a Windows Classic theme the border is rendered as expected. Is there something else I need to do to get the datawindow object column borders to render correctly when using a Windows XP theme? Ken Are you using 3D Lower...

DataWindow Within DataWindow
How Can I access/modify object/control from a Datawindow within Datawindow. When i access/modify object/control from a Datawindow i used dw_1.modify("name.text = 'new val'") but within another datawindow or child datawindow it doesnt work. Your description is difficult to understand due to the terminology. First, a datawindow is assigned to a control - either a datawindow control or a datastore. Second, the Modify function can only be called within a script. With that as a basis, can you rephrase the question and describe more precisely what you want to do? ...

Adding columns to a datawindow at runtime
Does anyone know how to add columns and headings to a grid datawindow at runtime? I want to have a datawindow with a number of columns of checkboxes equal to the number of different report types specified in a database table, and I would like to dynamically map the report types to their corresponding columns on the datawindow depending on how many report types are in the database. I figure I could create about 50 or so columns ahead of time in the datawindow and then show/hide them and re-label them depending on the number of reports at runtime, but if anyone knows a truly dynamic w...
