Thanks Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design Well I just tried this: set the htmlText of the label of btn targe to biClick here!/i/b and that didn't work. I also tried this: set the htmlText of the label of btn targe to fld fff [where fld fff contains 'biClick here!/i/b'] and that didn't work. I also tried this: set the htmlText of the label of btn targe to the htmlText of fld fff and that didn't work. I can only assume that 'htmlText' is not a property of a label.

But I'm hoping someone may have found a way to pull this off. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design I am a bit confused: Do you want to: 1. Take some htmlText, strip out its HTML characteristics and set the label of your button to the raw text? 2. Use the htmlText as is? Of course it would be 'lovely' if one could just do what I tried ( set the htmlText of btn targe to the htmlText of fld fff ) but, right now, the only thing I can think of is making a group with a transparent field overlaying a button with a label so it is blank.

Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design Well; as there has been a lot of stuff vented ever since Livecode went Open Source about users contributing by hacking various aspects of the IDE one of the most USEFUL bits of information RunRev could give us (throw me a fricking bone here.) would be how to ADD properties to existing objects. Making new objects out of compounded existing objects is, to my mind at least, less urgent than how to add props to existing ones. Of course, whether this can be done in Livecode itself, or one has to go back to the GIT hub and mess around in C++ I don't know. Although something tells me that if Livecode is a really flexible language that can stand on its own two feet it shouldn't be necessary to use another language to modify it.

Re: HTMLtext in Label?
Actually, I see there's a unicodeLabel property, which could work. So if the Unicode number of the character in a font is U+03A9, how does one get this to render properly in a label? I've tried various string combinations and uni-prefixed properties, but I continue to get Asian characters as the result.
