Re: Group resizing.

No, I don't, and that's probably what I should be doing. I had not expected that changing the LEFT of a control would change both X *and* Y coordinates of the enclosing group - but that is what seems to happen; and that at least makes sense - any change to the control causes an adjustment to

Re: Group resizing.

Thanks, but no, I can't do that. lock messages will prevent the "resizeControl" being fired for any sub-groups whose co-ordinates get changed, so it would prevent proper layout for them. 'lock messages' is good if you have all your controls directly re-positioned within your resize handler -

Re: Most obscure HC question

Thanks for the suggestions. The ideas about resizing the card window is what I had already tried. The scroller window only allows the window to be made smaller, it won’t go bigger. Double clicking in the scroller makes the card window hide or show, it doesn’t do the expected make the window

Can you explicitly set the text of the card in an openCard handler? Craig Newman Sent from my iPhone > On May 2, 2020, at 7:06 PM, Colin Holgate via use-livecode > wrote: > > I fear that the HyperCard group in Yahoo may be lost. Please let me know if > that isn’t true. > > But between

Re: Group resizing.

Do you have the group size/position locked (lockLocation property)? If not, moving a control could change the rect. Thanks, Brian On May 3, 2020, 10:28 AM -0400, Håkan Liljegren via use-livecode , wrote: > You probably need to lock messages in the beginning of your resizeControl. > Otherwise

Re: Group resizing.

You probably need to lock messages in the beginning of your resizeControl. Otherwise the group will adapt to your resizing of your controls. I usually begin with both lock messages and lock screen, but the last is more for optimization. Håkan On 3 May 2020, 16:22 +0200, Alex Tweedly via

Group resizing.

I realized after the discussion last week about resizing that I was missing the benefits of "resizeControl" being sent to each group, so I changed one of my resize handlers to make use of groups (adding a few groups along the way). And it all went wrong :-( Eventually I traced it down to the

Re: FormattedHeight

I agree that that’s what Widgets are for, but I don’t think there’s been enough input from the mother ship to ensure that all published widgets look as much as possible like ‘normal’ LC objects, with the expected properties and full documentation. Obviously some are very powerful and useful and
