I can across some old code where I an referring to if (the effective width of stack X > someValue) then
This code produces no errors and works. However, I was just trying to look up 'effective width' to see exactly what it was doing in the Livecode 9.6.8 Dictionary and struck out!
Under the 'effective' entry in the 9.6.8 Dictionary, 'width' is not listed as an inherited property that 'effective' can be used with. Under 'width' it is not listed. If I look at the entry to the 'stack' object, I find 'width' but that just takes me to the entry for 'width'
Am I imagining something, OR is there such a thing as 'effective width' and if so, where the heck is it documented?
PS. I thought the width of a stack (or window) vs the effective width was teh difference between the inner dimensions of the stack (the card size) and the size of the stack with borders and titlebar (outer dimensions). I forget which is which and, again, can not find it documented! Also, I thought that contrary to the Dictionary entry to the 'effective' keyword, you could SET the 'effective width' of a stack/window to change the size of the outer dimensions(?)
I'd appreciate any pointers to where effective width or effective height of a stack is documented.
