App Dev - Indicator Data Sheet

Post by jay_dee »

A grid or data sheet style indicator.
User definable number of columns and Rows. Ability to write text or values to each cell.

In a simple example I have two colums and 10 rows, currently I'm using a manually created array of statictext boxs. A mini datasheer type object could be much neater and require far fewer individual components.

Great idea. Can't promise it quickly though, but we definitely want to expand in this area.

Hi FC team,
whilst learning a bit more of FAD I started to manually create a grid of static text objects, it quickly became ungainly.
I also looked at the FAD exmaple that used the console and wrote lines of test to that.
Both work but a grid based component could really streamline this sort of data representation. :)

It could offer a cleaner to representing data sets as you would only need to update a value, rather than a formated Name:Value:Units test string.
