OK - a very basic challenge for all you LIveCode wizz kids out there :) How do you set the text of a field. The twist is you need to do it for a group which has been placed on multiple card, so there is the text on card 1 and this is different from the text on card 2. The difficulty is that you want to use a behavior of a group, so that you can refer to the text of the "Title" field (there are two fields in the group - one called "Title" and one called "Body").
The problem is based on the fact that while you can get "the text of fld "Title" of card 2" - the title_Text of group "Title" of card 2 does not work - it returns the text of the "Title" field of the current card. So how do you do this? Here are the sample handlers (that don't work): getprop title_Text > return the text of fld "Title" of me > end title_Text > > setprop title_Text someText > set the text of fld "Title" of me to someText > end title_Text > To make it easier to test you can use a setprop (or any handler placed in the stack script). The only way I can do this is by a horrible hack - is anyone up to the challenge? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
