this is in any case explicitely forbidden by LC license agreement (the 
fineprint)! :-)

But this is not a special IDE feature, one could also use it in a runtime.
So I thought we could use this if not in the IDE, too.

If that were allowed one could conceive of writing a standalone that was it’s 
own IDE and selling it as a third party app.

Thank you for the flowers!
Sometimes I "don't get it" immediately however. ;-)

Well, to also work with the BROWSE tool in a runtime. 8-)

One could think that the grid snap feature would work in Run mode in the IDE if 
scripts would allow the user to move controls in this mode. One could also 
think that the grid snap feature would work in a standalone under the same 
circumstances. This would allow for better control of placement of controls 
«out of the box».

You write English so much better than many Americans I know it's easy to 
forget.


I was asking what you wanted the grid snap feature to do beyond working 
only in Pointer mode.

I actually exspected a simple "yes" or "no". 8-)

Remember, I am not a native english speaker, so I am not sure what exactly you 
mean.

Given its role in snapping the dragging of selected objects, what else 
might it do?

GRID and GRIDSIZE

2021-01-20 Thread Klaus major-k via use-livecode
Hi friends,

is it correct that "snap to grid" does only work in the IDE in "Pointer" mode?
Thanks for any insight.
