Okay, so to follow through with this, I first took a screen shot of a bullet
character, opened it in Preview, erased the white space (making it transparent)
and saving it as bullet.png.
Next I imported the bullet as an image, and set the source of the imported
image to the file “bullet.png” (so I could edit it and see the changes in
Livecode without reimporting).
Then I put several lines into a scrolling field where each line starts with a
space and a tab. I set the first tabstop to enough pixels to fit the bullet
mark. I had to play around a bit but I got it close.
Finally I have this in the script of the scrolling field:
on mouseUp
put the hilitedLine of me into theHilitedLine
set the itemDelimiter to tab
put the vscroll of me into theVScroll
if the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me is "bullet.png"
then
set the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me to empty
else
set the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me to "bullet.png"
end if
set the itemDelimiter to comma
set the vScroll of me to theVScroll
end mouseUp
Presto! Voila! Good looking bulleted list that will look the same in Windows
and Mac, or any OS!
