RE: Geometry settings...
Hi Dixie, It is not possible easily with the LiveCode geometry manager. (I do not know even how to do it). But NativeGeometry, that is a geometry manager for LiveCode works like that, all geometry relations are scripts and the GUI is just here to help you working faster. Sample: Set the nGeometry of button toto to set the bottom of me to the bottomPadding of this stack; set the left of me to the rightPadding of button 'titi' - Resize the stack - Open the NativeGeometry geometry inspector, then you will see the script that you have designed. http://www.nativesoft.fr/nativegeometry Kind Regards, Damien Girard NativeSoft, France. -Message d'origine- De : use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com] De la part de John Dixon Envoyé : samedi 16 octobre 2010 00:39 À : use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Objet : RE: Geometry settings... Hi Devin... Thanks for the reply.. I have not explained what I want to do too well. What I would like to be able to do is set the 'geometry' in the geometry pane that are in the objects' inspector so, if I create a field by script, I can also set its geometry in the geometry pane... Is it now a little clearer than mud ? Dixie On Oct 15, 2010, at 4:08 PM, John Dixon wrote: Hi...

There are many properties that can be set, like height, width, rectangle, left, right, etc. Usually after you've set them by script you have to force the property inspector to update itself before the new settings are shown. For example, you could close and reopen the inspector, or switch to another pane of the inspector then switch back.

Re: Geometry settings...
Hi Dixie, This really is a big hassle. You'd have to set several cRevGeneral, cRevGeometry and cRevGeometryCache proprties by script. It is possible but really compliated. Alternatively, you might try to create a copy of an existing field, which has its geometry settings already. After creating is, call the revUpdateGeometry and revCacheGeometry commands. I can't guarantee that it works, but you might give it a try. I'm pretty much an opponent of using the geometry manager. In more complicated projects, there is always a moment when it breaks. I always write my own script to manage object sizes and locations. It is faster, more reliable and easier to maintain in the end. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.
