- I am building a stack that needs to present information in a table
- format. For example:
-
- --------------------------
- | <text> | <num> | <num> |
- | <text> | <num> | <num> |
- | <text> | <num> | <num> |
- --------------------------
-
- Now the only way that I know how to do this with HyperCard is to have
- 3 transparent fields and draw some lines between them. This works fine
- until you want to select a line from this table - HyperCard won't allow
- you to select lines from more than one field at one time. I want to be
- able to select lines so that I can cut/copy/past entire lines at a time.
-
- So ... does anyone know of a PD or commercial XCMD that implements
- a table view. I envision this XCMD doing one of two things:
-
- - implement a field that allows multiple items of data to be placed in
- a line such that each item starts at some tab boundary.
-
- OR
-
- - implement a field type that allows more than one field line to be
- selected at the same time.
-
- Thanks for any info or pointers.
