Re: Scrolling Menu

So I made a stack that had a group of a dozen buttons piled up vertically. The height of that pile was greater than the height of the stack. I placed another thin button alongside the group that was of the same height as the stack, tall and skinny. The numbers are not important, but I placed this

Re: Hanging indents in LC fields?

Thanks Devin – the negative first indent works nicely on normal text! Unfortunately I have an added complication in that I’m working with list style lines as well and list behavior seems to override some of the other indenting stuff. What I’m really trying to do is replace the ‘disc’ character

Re: Hanging indents in LC fields?

You can either set the left margin of the field to some large value like 20, or I believe there is a leftIndent property that you can set for a paragraph. Then set the first indent property of the paragraph to a negative number. Devin Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 20, 2017, at 5:15 PM, Terry

Hanging indents in LC fields?

Has anyone used livecode’s text formatting commands to create paragraphs with hanging indents (all lines but the first indented)? If so, any clues on how to do it? Best regards, Terry... ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com

Re: Widget usage examples

Hi Jonathan, the problem is the slowdown/stuttering because base64 encoding increases data sizes by round 30%. To avoid a huge html file I had to use an extra callback for that. The other method I described is simpler and faster anyway and can easily be LC-scripted. As this is a widget usage

NVM. The solution was to first set the result column to signed, then cast the start and end mileage to signed. Turns out one of my techs does not get the concept that when a dialog pops up telling him that he cannot have negative mileage, it doesn't occur to him, "... and therefore I've made an

Hi Lagi, Thanks for checking! After doing lots of research, I think the problem is that chrome CEF blocks webgl for certain graphics cards. I am trying to figure out how to set the ignore-gpu-blacklist flag in CEF. As for the app layout - I need to have it provide instructions on first open.
