Shawn, It sounds like what you want is to resize the field to show all of the text. Have you tried the formattedHeight property, which works in conjunction with dontWrap? set the dontWrap of fld "myFld" to true put whoppingHugeString into fld "myFld" put the topLeft of fld "myFld" into tAnchorPt set the height of fld "myFld" to the formattedHeight of fld "myFld" set the topLeft of fld "myFld" to tAnchorPt HTH Devin Devin Asay Office of Digital Humanities Brigham Young University _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
