Ok, here’s the scoop…
I have one VERY BIG variable I’ve pushed into a data source to populate a table view (what happened to old fashioned listboxes?!?) I also have a second VERY BIG variable (same size as the first, actually) that’s holding correlating data. I need to get the index in the data source of the selected item in the data view. If it indeed a List, then I’m screwed with this because I can’t get the index in a list (especially with a filter reference.) Any suggestions?
Also, when I get the (id of selected data row of my table) it returns 8 for the first thing selected, then increments by 1 with each successive selection! I need to know that I’ve selected the first, 14th, or 158th item in the table view so I can get the first (or 14th or 158th) item of my second variable.
Heeeellllpppp!!!
TIA,

Considering the size of the two variable, walking them would be VERY SLOW.

Bad news. I don’t think it’s possible. I have a similar problem with my TuneTags AS Studio application. Table Views/data sources seem very buggy and incomplete indeed. I have had a devil of a time trying to do what I want in a reasonable way. I almost feel I’d be better of NOT using a data source, and just getting clicked cells, etc. what with how many important and helpful functions do not exist for data sources.
I ended up having to walk through my data sources, one row at a time.
Anyway, I’m hoping someone else responds with a positive way to deal with this…
