Object Grid
Display your data in an object grid (obj_objectgrid) by attaching it to the valueTable property. An object grid displays returned data as multiple objects, called icon objects, in a scrollable grid. Each icon object in the grid is analogous to a row of data in the standard table. Icon objects display the data using graphic attributes (e.g., color, dimension, orientation, etc.). The default icon object displayed in the object grid is obj_circ2d_ilvx_ra4 (shown below).
Any object that appears in the Object Palette (with the exception of tables and graphs) can be used as an icon object. To specify which object to use in the object grid, in the Object Properties window, double-click on iconProperties in the Icon category.

Background Properties
Specify how the background is displayed in the object grid.
 
Property Name Description
bgBorderColor Select the  button and choose a color from the palette to set the color of the edge on the background rectangle. This property is only applicable if bgBorderFlag is selected.
bgBorderFlag If selected, a border is drawn around the background rectangle,
bgColor Select the  button and choose a color from the palette to set the background color of the table. 
bgEdgeWidth Set the width of the 3D edge on the background rectangle. This property is only available if the bgStyle selected is 3D Rectangle.
bgGradientColor2 Select the  button and choose a color for the second color in the gradient. Default is white. NOTE: The bgColor property sets the first color in the gradient.
bgGradientMode Display a gradient in the background rectangle. Select from the following options:
 
  None No gradient
  Diagonal Edge Gradient is drawn at a 45 degree angle from the top left to the bottom right corner of the object.
  Diagonal Center Gradient is drawn at a 45 degree angle from the center to the top left and the bottom right corners of the object.
  Horizontal Edge Gradient is drawn horizontally from the top to the bottom of the object.
  Horizontal Center Gradient is drawn horizontally from the center to the top and bottom of the object.
  Vertical Edge Gradient is drawn vertically from the left to the right of the object.
  Vertical Center Gradient is drawn vertically from the center to the left and right of the object.
bgRaisedFlag Reverses the direction of the gradient, as well as that of the 3D edge if the bgStyle selected is 3D Rectangle.
bgRoundness Set the arc length of the rounded corners. This property is only available if the bgStyle selected is Round Rectangle.

NOTE: The value of bgRoundness cannot exceed half the value of the objWidth or the objHeight. If bgRoundness does exceed that value, then half (of the smaller of the two values) of objWidth or objHeight will be used instead. For example if objWidth is 100 and objHeight is 50, then the value of bgRoundness cannot exceed 25. If it does, then half the value of objHeight (25) will be used instead.

bgShadowFlag Select to display a drop shadow on the background rectangle.
bgStyle Choose one of  the following three options from the drop down menu:
 
Rectangle Select to display a background rectangle.
3D Rectangle Select to display a 3D edge on the background rectangle. If selected, use bgEdgeWidth to set the width of the 3D edge.
Round Rectangle Select to display a background rectangle with rounded edges. If selected, use bgRoundness to set the arc length of the rounded corners.
bgVisFlag Select to display the background rectangle.
borderPixels Set the amount of space (in pixels) between the table and the border.

Foreground Properties
 
Property Name Description
fgColor Set the color of the space between the objects. Select the  button and choose a color from the palette.
fgGradientColor2 Select the  button and choose a color for the second color in the gradient. Default is white. NOTE: The fgColor property sets the first color in the gradient.
fgGradientMode Display a gradient in the space between the objects. Select from the following options:
 
  None No gradient
  Diagonal Edge Gradient is drawn at a 45 degree angle from the top left to the bottom right corner of the object.
  Diagonal Center Gradient is drawn at a 45 degree angle from the center to the top left and the bottom right corners of the object.
  Horizontal Edge Gradient is drawn horizontally from the top to the bottom of the object.
  Horizontal Top Gradient is drawn horizontally from the center to the top and bottom of the object.
  Vertical Edge Gradient is drawn vertically from the left to the right of the object.
  Vertical Center Gradient is drawn vertically from the center to the left and right of the object.

Sort Properties
To sort the object grid by a column from the data attachment, enter the name of that column as the Property Value for sortColumnName in the Object Properties window. The column used to sort the object grid must be also be entered as a Property Value for iconProperties (e.g., PERCENTCOMPLETED).

Interaction Properties
To specify a drill down target for the table, double-click on the drillDownTarget property in the Object Properties window. Based on your data attachment, preset substitutions are created automatically and passed into your drill down display. To customize which substitutions will be passed into drill down displays, in the Object Properties window double-click on drillDownColumnSubs in the Property Name field.

Use drillDownSelectMode to control how a drill down display is activated. Set to Anywhere to activate a drill down display by double-clicking anywhere on the object grid. Set to Element Only to enable a drill down display only when you double-click on an object in the grid.
