Hi, That sounds reasonable. Then to move the object less than the slop rect would have to be achieved using the cursor keys? Do the keys work on all objects? I seem to remember some issues with this in the past, but can't remember the details. All the Best Dave On 26 Feb 2007, at 15:07,

Re: Loading images to MySQL using Read/Write

2007-02-26 Thread Stephen Barncard
Jim, Why do you want to store images in MySQL? I know it can be done but Blobs can be tricky and I imagine that big binaries slow down the SQL server quite a bit. Have you considered storing *references* to the images in the database instead? Instead of a blob, you could be storing the text

Hi, Yes, time would work, or would be better to have it so you had to mouse up, mouse down (select the object) and then mouse down again to move it. In conjunction with this, would it be better to have an area of the object that must be clicked on before movement is allowed? Obviously we'

Hi Dave, Why not use time rather than distance? If the move was done within 200 milliseconds (or whatever is suitable), debounce. That way, you can keep the changes even when 1 pixel away but the mouse left down long enough. Alternatively, you could have the rule that this debouncing only

Hi, No, not yet. I'm not sure what the best method of "de-bouncing" would be in this case. If anyone would care to make some suggestions then we can talk about the various merits, decide which is the best and I'd be happy to put in a enhancement request. All the Best Dave On 23 Feb 2007,

Hi Scott, Set the traversalOn of you menu buttons to false should' solve your problem: Setting the traversalOn to false for any object means that this object no longer can become the active (focused) object. Then the focus can stay on your field. Hope this helps. Le 26 févr. 07 à 08:42, S
