[hopefully pulling the colors brought this down to the size limit] Bringing up an old topic . . .
I got interrupted after asking, but here's a cute way to do it. Hopefully, someone can help with a couple of the deficiencies of this script: 1) backgroundPixel no longer works. Older examples to convert a color to a triplet used it (set the backgroundPixel to a color, then set it to its own color producing the triplet). 2) I see no way to set the mouse position other than with screenMouseLoc 3) selectedLoc when a line win a field is selected seems to do nothing--putting it doesn't even change the output in the message box! 4) can I scroll a field to a selection? if so, the scrolling fields in this might even be useful! 5) because I'm monkeying around with the mouse position, I can hardly slide at all. 6) if I could change the color of the slider on the scrollbar, this would work much better, but I can't see a way to do that To try, make a new card, add a slider, and put this into it's script: on scrollbarDrag sVal --REH, 170124 local oMloc, oClr, nClr,clrScl, oVl, linLoc lock screen lock messages if not there is a field 1 then create field 1 set the rect of it to 10, 40, 226, 400 exit scrollBarDrag end if set the vScrollBar of field 1 to true set the left of me to the left of field 1 set the top of me to the bottom of field 1 + 18 set the textheight of field 1 to 18 if not there is a field 2 then clone field 1 exit scrollBarDrag end if put empty into field 2 set the top of field 2 to the top of field 1 set the left of field 2 to the right of field 1 + 18 set the textheight of field 2 to the textHeight of field 1 set the vScrollbar of field 2 to true set the opaque of field 1 to true set the opaque of field 2 to true set the pageInc of me to .05 put the screenMouseLoc into oMloc repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in field 1 switch case line i of field 1 is a color case item 3 of line i of field 1 is a number put line i of field 1 into oClr set the backgroundColor of line i of field 1 to oClr break default set the backgroundColor of line i of field 1 to empty next repeat break end switch _______________________________________________ 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
