'effective' discovery

2017-03-20 Thread Phil Davis via use-livecode
In LC 8.1.3 I just discovered you can say: put the effective properties of control x into tPropsA and it gives you all the effective properties! I knew you could do it with individual props, but didn't know you could get all of them at once. It isn't documented. -- Phil Davis _

So I made a stack that had a group of a dozen buttons piled up vertically. The height of that pile was greater than the height of the stack. I placed another thin button alongside the group that was of the same height as the stack, tall and skinny. The numbers are not important, but I placed this

Thanks Devin – the negative first indent works nicely on normal text! Unfortunately I have an added complication in that I’m working with list style lines as well and list behavior seems to override some of the other indenting stuff. What I’m really trying to do is replace the ‘disc’ character

You can either set the left margin of the field to some large value like 20, or I believe there is a leftIndent property that you can set for a paragraph. Then set the first indent property of the paragraph to a negative number. Devin Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 20, 2017, at 5:15 PM, Terry Ju

Hi Jonathan, the problem is the slowdown/stuttering because base64 encoding increases data sizes by round 30%. To avoid a huge html file I had to use an extra callback for that. The other method I described is simpler and faster anyway and can easily be LC-scripted. As this is a widget usage exam
