Re: Initializing the segmented control

2017-04-18 Thread Mike Kerner via use-livecode
The browser widget is too limited for my use, so no, I don't bother with
it.  By "well-written", I meant written in such a way as being easy to
understand, not well-written like feature-complete, free of any bugs, etc.
I still use tmc2 for all my interface work...

Have you tried the browser widget ?
You might be surprised by how well written it isn't.

Paul H. said the other day there were 30 active bugs on it.
I ran into a few problems, including IDE hangs trying to use it (and 
yes, I will submit QC reports as soon as I get a chance to look at it 
again - but revBrowser does what I need so it's not been my highest 
priority).

Re: Initializing the segmented control

Ok, got it!
set the hilitedItemNames of widget "timerNav" to "timer"

“timer” is one of the itemNames.

I guess it just needed for me to take a dinner break.

Re: Initializing the segmented control

Mike:
thanks. I’ve been trying to avoid getting into the widget modification part of 
livecode. I just figured there must be an easy way to initialize the widget’s 
selection. I did look at the dictionary API entry and it doesn’t tell me 
anything about how I would code an initialization to a particular hilight.

Best,
Bill

Go into the API, then in the picker on the top left, pick "Segmented
Control".  There is one message and a bunch of properties.
Also, if you get stuck, some time, all the widgets have their source
available, and since they're written with LCB, it's pretty easy to read
(the documentation for each is at the beginning).  On git pick the LC
repo, then drill down to extensions->widgets.

Initializing the segmented control

2017-04-17 Thread William Prothero via use-livecode
Folks:

I’ve tried the obvious, but::
How do I initialize the segmented control? 

I’ve tried: there are 3 items named analysis,valveSel,timer
set the hilited of control "timerNav" of this cd to “ timer”

set the hilitedItems of widget "timerNav" to "timer"

set the hilited of widget "timerNav" to "timer"

It oughta be easier!

What is the proper syntax?

Best,
Bill
