Re: Can't maintain textSize properties
Well your answers point to this being an issue with your specific app/stack/collection of stacks. No one would want to recreate 21,000 lines of code, so with you there ;) But errant code does not mean erroneous code; but rather than some unforeseen compound effect that has come in at some point duri...

Re: how to print a line (row) of a dg table
Unless you know an easier way... OK, so more the last option then... Do I understand from your last post that you used a tableField and that's what isn't behaving? Or did you just use a normal field? I presume that data is exported as TSV (ie the dgText)? I can't see how a tableField wouldn't work ...

Re: Can't maintain textSize properties
Three questions then: 1. Have you experienced anything like this with other stacks/applications (eg trying to rebuild a portion of this app from scratch)? 2. Has anyone else had this issue or is it just you? (I certainly haven't heard of this before or seen it posted on the forums, but then you have...

Re: Can't maintain textSize properties
Stam. What do I look like, a power user??? :roll: No, though. :cry: Craig It was just a random thought... but yes you are a power user ;) I can only the imagine the issue is some weird inheritance from some parent object or that you have some code somewhere that is unintentionally doing this. I tak...

Re: how to print a line (row) of a dg table
Hi Stam, that's what I've done, but the resulting text is a mess, as it doesn't show the text in columns, as, depending on the width of text in each column of the dg, the lines are too messy to present to the user. I was looking for a way to keep each dataset in a column in the field. Hi Craig, as ...

Re: Can't maintain textSize properties
Just a thought - you haven't used responsiveLayout at some point previously on the stack?

Re: how to print a line (row) of a dg table
My practice with any any kind of list (tableField, data grid, polygrid, etc) is to store the full data set in a custom property of the object in question. This allows me to filter the list to only show the records I'm looking for (I guess in your case the lines you want to print) and and having the ...

Re: Can You do this?
If you don't care why did you bother to point something out. Give it a rest. I'm pointing it out because it's not just about you. This is a public forum read by all, and every post here should be to show the best possible answer, to help all. If there is a better answer, I'm happy to be corrected, ...

Re: Can You do this?
Like I said, I really could not care less what you choose to do.
I was just pointing out the error in your statement

which can never apply to modal stacks, and invalidates your argument.it can get obscured by other substacks unless one is very careful.

Re: Color Scripts
Thanks Zax Also be aware that FerrusLogic released a LiveCode port of the javascript library TinyColor , and it's pretty amazing. It does what you describe and a whole lot more. It's a scriptOnlyStack so you can just copy the text to any stack/substack script if you want to obscure it in your app. J...

Re: Can You do this?
However, the 'problem' about using a substack as an answer palette is that it can get obscured by other substacks unless one is very careful. You really didn't read, or at least comprehend, my post, did you? I said "presented as modal " If a stack is modal , no other stacks can be in front of it , ...

Re: OpenCard to control?
It points up to the control. I was wondering if it should loop back and point down to the control (or even just back to the message path line). Hmmm, I'm not sure looping down up and down again (if I understood correctly) benefits... the graph gets cluttered with (in my mind) unnecessary lines/arro...

Re: Can You do this?
Stam. Could not agree more. But where else might it be possible to insert an image where before I (we?) only assumed text could go? I still have not heard from Klaus on what might be a single line of code that placed that image into the dialog. Craig I know what you mean, but in my mind just becaus...

Re: Can You do this?
HOW COULD THEY NOT mention this somewhere? It would be a fabulous addition to who knows how many LC gadgets. Craig I'm guessing that by the time you've made the image the right size, positioned everything as you want and then have to keep doing this for every image, you're probably better off desig...
