Re: Go Card Error Handling

2016-06-23 Thread J. Landman Gay

Apologies, Mark, I apparently managed to leave out a critical piece of info; this is in Edit, not Run-mode. To be clear, double-clicking a control in Edit-mode does not open the Property Inspector, and Right-Clicking does not display the PopUp menu to Edit Script, show the Property Inspector,

Trying to decide if this is a "bug" or "feature", but it keeps pissing me off so I would like file it under the former. If I have the Property Inspector open to the Text tab and select multiple field objects, the textAlign of the last selected object gets applied to every object selected. I call

I like the fact that things that would probably be complicated with other languages are simple with livecode. Not everything by any means, the number of libraries/extensions etc for other languages dwarf livecode so far. But livecode builder is a huge step towards opening the 3rd party door.
