RE: Changing text properties in a field via the IDE

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

Works OK on Mac and PC here LC 9.6 rc1. I created new stack put in a label 
field. I did not change the default text. Could it be the actual text you put 
in the field causing the PI problem for you?

Subject: Changing text properties in a field via the IDE

I’m using LC 9.6.0 rc1 on a Mac. Just now I did something very simple that 
didn’t work. I created a label field, opened the Property Inspector for the 
field and changed its text - that worked. Then I attempted to change the font 
size - that didn’t work. The appearance of the label in the stack itself didn’t 
change, nor could I change the font, make the text bold etc. I tried this again 
with a regular field - same result. I started a new stack with just the one 
field - same result. 

All these values can be changed by script, in the Message Box or elsewhere, but 
I can’t make them in the IDE by changing values in the Property Inspector.

What am I doing wrong?

Text attributes can be set in the field, and the field properties can be 
overridden by a text run within the field.


When changing field properties doesn't change what you see, try 
selecting the text within the field and changing that.

OK. By my reckoning that's
8AM PST
11AM EST
and I don't even know what day that is in Sydney. Is that Saturday morning?

Folks,
Sometimes Apple’s auto-correct embarrasses me, especially if I carelessly don’t 
read what I just typed.

I know Heather” is not spelled “Hear her”.

The time zone for the meeting time will help me not miss it by hours.

Best,
Bill
