Re: [ widget that turns text horizontal ]

Bernd: What I was thinking was like a text fly-out. With your widget, it would just start from invisible and expand out from the center and stop without turning. Thinking of a presentation/slide show type system that would be more interesting that just text on a screen. What I would really love

Re: Hypercarding Livecode

I did not have time to test any, but it looks very nice. The label text in buttons looks a bit squeezed in. Could there be an option to place horizontally or vertically as the user may choose? I am not sure if too many users like using too many different interfaces. Better to settle on one

Re: Random? changes to textAlign

Found it! If a label is the 2nd or higher object in a selection (shift-click or drag scoop), then the textAlign changes. I tried giving the label field a unique name, but that didn't help. Dar --- Dar Scott dba Dar Scott Consulting 8637 Horacio Place NE

re: Fwd: LC / WordPress / CGI challenge

Hello Richard, Rating Stars for WP - just doing an iFrame will not be that simple, because you will need to transfer a good deal of info into calling iFrame. Plus you will NOT be able to track the user. I suggest using a WP plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/. There

Oh, great. Now it doesn't change. I have no idea what I might have been doing to cause the change. Maybe some layout cleanup or something. > On May 29, 2016, at 3:44 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: > > I love random features. > > On Sun, May 29, 2016 at 3:23 PM, Dar Scott

Re: Fwd: LC / WordPress / CGI challenge

Richard, actually you might be better off with Alex's suggestion of a WP plugin. iFrames in WP with .lc content work fine, but from within an iFrame I don't think there is a way for your Livecode Server script to access WP's data on the user/session and thence know whether a user has rated a

Nevermind. Having textalign set, and changing tabalign to various combinations of tabs and settings does do interesting things, but I can't make it do what you describe so far. On Sun, May 29, 2016 at 3:10 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: > the tabAlign isn't set to anything is it?

the tabAlign isn't set to anything is it? And if so, is the label text changing with possible preceding tabs? On Sun, May 29, 2016 at 2:46 PM, Dar Scott wrote: > I have a couple label fields in a background that keep changing from right > aligned to left aligned. I'm pretty sure
