When Displaying Several Grids together, Please indicate when the Main Grid is Active.

I am displaying several detached grids together.

Below is an example of the main Grid (ToDo) and one of the detached Grids (Inbox).
I am often believing that the main Grid is active, while it is not, and I make changes to the wrong Grid, which is active (e.g. the Inbox).

How do I Pause a VB script?

Submitted by viking on 2023/08/05 04:12

The purpose is to create a link to another location of the item. My script modifies the item from "myitem" to "myitem {Link}" at item creation time (if possible)

The script is triggered when I create the item, but I need time to enter the text of the item before the script modifies the item.
The idea is therefore to Pause the script while I enter the text.

Function AddLink

     Pause 10 sec
     run rest of script

end Function

Copy item(s') text without the "IQitems" data type / format being put on the clipboard

Pierre, could you please add a way to copy the text of one or several selected items without putting the IQitems format / data type on the clipboard? I would like to be able to differentiate programmatically between what I wanted to do when copying rather than having to decide each time when pasting whether I want to paste items or just item text.

Can I add an Item to the home page?

I have read about home pages here 8. Home Pages.
"The main purpose of the Home Page is to provide links to pertinent information, such as relevant items, grids, pivot tables, mapviews, etc."

It is not clear to me if I also can add items to the home page (not links to an item, but an item)? Then, when I select the item, the document page would show information for the item (which may be text, a web page etc), like it does for a regular item in a grid.

Alarm/Reminder Questions

I am mostly working in a ToDo grid rather than in the Calendar.

1. In order to attach an alarm/reminder to a ToDo item, it appears that I must create an event for the item. Is that correct? There is no way to add the alarm directly to the ToDo item?

2. An Event with an alarm has an icon to the left of the Item text. I guess that it would be a a feature request to also add the icon to the item in the ToDo Grid? I am aware that I could otherwise add the column "ItemHasRemiders" to show this.
