Grid checkbox

[bule]

Is there any way we could place a checkbox inside a cell of the grid object?
This is really important for yes/no type of fields.

I think it is not possible, i would like that aswell...

I also would like a playlist type of Grid:)

I am very doubtful...I spents days trying to insert a simple icon into a Datagrid cell but did not succeed.

If anyone in the forum can find a way to do this then send me a private message, I am willing to pay for this functionality.

...I am not referring to an html table, I need to use the Datagrid (which is populated from an Access table)

This is not an ideal work-around, but you may be able to clean it up and make it work for you...

This may be possible for icons / png images also...that I didn't test.

Determining where to place the checkbox in relationship to the grid may be a bigger problem...

Nice example but it would be so much work to get it right:p and with scrolling enabled it would really be a pain in the....

Suggestion for the IndigoRose:

Add some variable type checking to the Grid object:
- if string is passed, handle the text as is now, sort column as text
- if lua number is passed, align the cell right, sort by numeric value
- if boolean type is passed, render a checkbox, sort by checked
- if table of [text, data] pairs is passed, render a properly aligned combobox

The first three ones are obvious. The fourth one would receive this kind of data:
[['bule', '0'], ['has', '1'], ['some', 'great'], ['ideas', '666']]

Any comments on this rather strait forward approach?

..yes the real problem is the scrolling. I have a table column with over 150 rows of data using 5-6 different icons. Many thanks for your efforts but it does not seem doable for large quantities of data

That plus icon support would very very nice. I would also like to throw in cell merging and cell text wrapping.

Talkin about the Grid... is there any chance that IR at least adds an option for
no-border mode like the one on the input object (border, flat, none)? Please.... :o
