Re: Deleting a Control in LC8 DP16 in the IDE

Arrrggghhh! I knew about the trash can, but forgot it. Dang! In my process, I accidentally deleted a group and I thought it was just going to disappear from the card it was on, and it deleted the entire group. Fortunately, I’m just playing with the UI controls, etc, and it was quickly fixed,

Deleting a Control in LC8 DP16 in the IDE

In Version 7, I can delete a control, by selecting the control in the Project Browser, and clicking “Delete”. This doesn’t happen in LC8 DP16, on OSX. Bug? I can delete it by selecting it on the stage and clicking “Delete”. I remember something about this mentioned on the list, but can’t find

I've been building GUI from ground zero today in LC8 dp16 and it's gets worse and worse the longer the session remains open. The inspector switch to "revFrontScriptLibrary" starts to occur more and more frequently. Now I just opened the project browser and it is completely blank.

Re: LC8 DP16

I had an odd incident in a different context but similar "paradigm" i.e. as if the IDE lost track or the focused object/stack. I had a stack open, a button selected, and the inspector open, and the graphics effects selected in the inspector. I pressed delete to delete the button. Instead of

Re: LC8 DP16

Bill, I tried this and saw the problem once!, but now I’m not seeing it happen again. That’s kind of a familiar scenario with LC8 for me, often makes me think I’m doing something wrong, but then I can’t find enough evidence to make a recipe for a bug report. When I get a few minutes spare

Kay, Tnx for trying this out. My stacks were more complex and I was trying to convert a stack that used mobGUI elements and I couldn’t get rid of them. Then I was trying to copy code from one stack to another and the IDE appeared to get confused. I’ll fiddle with it more and see if I can come

LC8 DP16

Folks: I’m noticing a problem with the Project Browser in DP16. If you have two stacks open, then try to create a new card in the stack in the front, it creates doesn’t create a card in the selected stack. It appears at the top of the Project Browser, on a line by itself or in the other stack.

Re: LC8 DP16 oddities, dataGrid?

Ali, It was the lack of the columns inspector pane that I was referring to. Sorry for my posting being opaque.. No worries, I went back to v7 and changed it, then back to v8. I'm glad the column inspector is coming back in next release. Thanks! Bill William Prothero http://es.earthednet.org

Re: LC8 DP16 oddities, dataGrid?

Hi Bill, Could you be more specific? The dataGrid pane of the property inspector is just the bit that was in the Basic pane of the old property inspector under the Data Grid: --- section. The Columns pane was missing and will be there in the next build

LC8 DP16 oddities, dataGrid?

Folks: I’ve been using DP16 for awhile, and find 1: When setting the alignment of text in a text field, with the property inspector, you have to click twice to get it to set the alignment. Minor, but… 2: Datagrid. The property inspector for the datagrid is now totally opaque. The V7 version was

Re: Problems creating a field in LC8 DP16

Monte, Tnx, but I've solved that one. What's screwing me up is that the formattedHeight and formattedWidth don't give the correct answers. I don't know if it's a bug or something that's changed with the updated field code. I can fix it by adding to the margins. I just hate to do a workaround
