Re: Object inspector question

[Roger Guay]

Hi Bill,

I fixed the Add to favorites and the Delete from favorites.  it was a brain bug 
. . . not an LC bug. I can't duplicate the Export problem you spoke of. Import 
and Export work fine for me using LC 8.1.0. I will continue to investigate.

The fixed TextOmatic is here: 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/shcv2pjgsn3s1eo/TextOmatic.livecode?dl=0 


Cheers,

Roger

Yes, as Paul Hibbert reminded me, that's a combobox, not an option 
control, which does indeed work the same on all three desktop platforms.

Quite happy to help.  Soon (any day now, really ) I'll get myself set 
up with git here so I can submit actual pull requests to move those 
things along even more smoothly.   So many little things crop up that 
just a quick one-line fix can resolve easily.

Not in this case. The PI font selector appears to be a Combo-box Menu and it 
only shows 5 lines on a Mac too.

On Mac:
An Option Menu, Pulldown Menu and Popup Menu all show a list as long as the 
screen real estate allows, but a Combo-box Menu only displays the number of 
lines set in the PI menuLines property.

On further investigation, type this line of code into the message box and it 
allows you to set your desired number of lines to display (25 in this example):

   set the menuLines of btn 1 of group 1 of cd 1 of stack 
"com.livecode.pi.font" to “25”

Just bear in mind that next time you launch LC it will revert back to 5 lines.

Regards,

Paul

Re: Object inspector question

Not a big deal, but, FYI:
 I was messing with the “Export” command and it keeps asking for the 
selectedObject, which should be a field named “myText”. When that field is 
selected, the selectedObject is still empty. This is in debug mode in the IDE, 
and it behaves the same way as a plugin as a palette . Also, deleting fonts 
from the “favorites” field doesn’t work in LC 8.1.0.

The plugin is still useful, as it is, but I thought you might like the feedback.

I'm assuming that's on Windows or Linux, yes?  Mac always shows the full 
list, but the other OSes truncate the list to be scrollable.


The number of lines visible in an option control is defined by the 
menuLines property, and apparently in recent builds the PI's have 
reverted to the engine default (a surprisingly low number, maybe 5?).


Font lists tend to be long so I found scrolling in such a cramped space 
somewhat annoying (a sentiment I suspect the core team would share if 
they spent as much time with the IDE on non-Mac systems), so I provided 
a fix along with the enhancement request for a longer scrolling list:

Object inspector question

[Earthednet-wp]

Folks,
I'm getting used to the object inspector in lc8, but notice that setting the 
font of a field or button is different. In v7 and earlier, the drop down menu 
showed a long list of fonts, but the new inspector show a short list of font 
types (system), etc. I can type in the name of a font and it does apply that 
font. But, what is the intended way to set the font of an object?

Best,
Bill
