Re: Arrow keys in SE

Let me second Richard’s observation, but it’s effects are slightly different. On the Mac it is standard to be able to use Cmd + right arrow to move to the end of a line of text. With auto complete in the new SE that no longer works. Anyone else observing that? Devin > On Sep 26, 2017, at 3:02

How do you currently set the alpha channel? The hit area icon I was suggesting could be an image with the alpha channel that the button uses. That way you could have any shape hit area, it wouldn’t have to be based on the button’s icon. > On Sep 26, 2017, at 1:14 PM, Richard Gaskin via

Re: A modest proposal for a new property

The way that this problem is handled in sort other tools is to have a definable hit area for each control (usually those would be buttons). You can set the idle, over, and pressed versions of the button’s image, and also you can set the hit area image. LiveCode already has a way to do most of

For many images with alpha layers the returned values would be a complex set of points, and for some discontiguous. If the purpose for obtaining that collection of points is to determine whether a click at a specific location would be inside or outside the control's region(s), that would
