No catch at all, the docs are quite well written in this regard: effective [keyword] Use the effective keyword to get the displayed color or font of an object, regardless of whether the object itself has that property set. The effective keyword can also be used to get the filename of a substack

Er... I can't see htmlText in the list there nor can I see the working screenRect which also accepts the effective keyword. Either way it should be documented also under all these properties. On 14/03/2013, at 7:08 PM, Kay C Lan lan.kc.macm...@gmail.com wrote: No catch at all, the docs are

Hi. This is a pretty tight switch construct, of a typical form. And very readable. What makes you feel it ought to be tightened? Craig Newman -Original Message- From: Ender Nafi Elekçioğ lu endern...@gmail.com To: List LiveCode use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Sent: Thu, Mar 14,

I have to agree it's pretty readable right now. If you *really* want a shorter, less readable, way, try put sin(pAngleInRadians) into tX if tX 0 then divide tX by abs(tX) -- Alex. On 14/03/2013 17:56, dunb...@aol.com wrote: Hi. This is a pretty tight switch construct, of a typical

I would do the calc once. I would make the last one default just in case the calc provides you with something funky. Kee __put sin(pAngleInRadians) into sinCalc __switch case sinCalc 0 __put 1 into tX __break case sinCalc = 0 __put 0 into tX __break default __put

Thinking about this more, I think this is a bug. Removing the stack from memory is fine, just needs to be clearer that's what happens, but not sending a closeStack message seems wrong. Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 11:18 AM, Peter Haworth p...@lcsql.com wrote:
