Re: Threading (plus random question)

OK, it also turns out that there is another issue, namely that LC doesn't seem to track ctrl presses in the SE. On other platforms it looks like it treats ctrl like cmd but on the mac it just ignores it. Once I've got it tested and working on all platforms, I'll submit a pull request. There's

Here's a tint function from way back. pRGB is an RGB triplet, pValue is a decimal percent value for the desired tint of the color. function colorTint pRGB, pValue -- pRGB is RGB triplet -- pValue is between 0 and 1 put pRGB into theTint repeat with N = 1 to 3 put item N of pRGB

Yet another option could be to set the ink of the object to "blendLighten". ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences:

Re: "lightening" a color

Since white in the rgb space is made by adding max value of all three primary colours, and getting the colour will give you a list of numerical values in the form of 255,0,0 for maximum red, 0,255,0 for maximum green and 0,0,255 for maximum blue, you can always change any of these values to

Re: "lightening" a color

Have you considered just changing the border color of the object? If you made the border wider, and then changed the color a little that might be the best way to indicate to the user that they are using a different selection. It would certainly be a lot easier than changing the color of the

"lightening" a color

I am adding the ability to have multiple clients open, and want to use colors as a cue. Is there a way to "lighten" a color. That is (I suppose), to grab the numeric representation, and convert that to a much paler shade of the color? -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq. (702) 508-8462

Why, if one clicks on a word (a set of chars bounded by spaces) in a standard *textField* does *clickChunk* yield that word, while in a scrolling *listField* does it yield the whole of the line? This is a problem if one wishes to know which word in a specific line in a scrolling listField an
