Re: Entering text into vector graphic
Sorry Hugh had missed your posting somehow - and yes it makes me smile too - it came from something clever you wrote but for the life of me I can't remember what it was! ...whatever it was you wrote was definitely clever and even witty even though my brain is too lumpy to remember, can you? If you can't remember either I'll have to change my signature to something like Hugh Senior once said something witty but I can't remember what it was Anyway I'd better stop now or bernd will start pestering me about bananas again :) Kind regards Dave FlexibleLearning.com wrote On Mon, 24 Mar 2014 14:56:26 -0700 (PDT) Dave Kilroy lt; dave@ gt; wrote: [snip] - Some are born coders, some achieve coding, and some have coding thrust upon them. - William Shakespeare Hugh Senior -- This still makes me smile every time I see it :) Hugh Senior FLCo ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@.runrev Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode - Some are born coders, some achieve coding, and some have coding thrust upon them. - William Shakespeare Hugh Senior -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Entering-text-into-vector-graphic-tp4677482p4678443.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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

Entering text into vector graphic
I am returning back to live code after being non active for a long while and having encouraged by the forthcoming live code 7.00 m( Unicode). My problem is that I am unable to type (enter text) inside a vector graphic shape . (e.g. to type a word inside an oval shape) . choosing either tools ( browse or edit) does not work ( naturally !) . I could not not find a text tool ( as in the old Hypercard). I looked everywhere (tutorials, userguide, forums ...etc) but to no avail. I am sure this might appear a silly request bu your help is really appreciate.d My email to write directly to me : m...@soas.ac.uk.

Put it on top of the oval. .Jerry ___ 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
Re: Entering text into vector graphic
I assume it's the same in LC7, but you can set the label property of the graphic to your text. There's just no entry for this in the property inspector. You can use the message box, something like: set the label of graphic oval to My Great Text Make sure you enable the showName property of the graphic also.
