I noticed "tabalign" in there too - it was mentioned in a recent post on the ability to define right-aligned tabs.

But I suggest you weed the > list down manually It was very quick to get the initial list thanks to your db and I will change my script to look for keywords as well as properties but narrowing it down manually requires time I don't have. Maybe someone at RunRev will use the list as a starting point to get the dictionary up to date at some point. I guess it's possible that there are valid properties that aren't included in the propertynames and I have no idea how to deal with that.. At the end of the day, what I need is a complete list of the valid properties for each LC object. I appreciate that's a fairly unusual requirement and I know there have been discussions on the engine forum about this and it's apparently not as easy as it might seem. In the meantime, the method I'm using (issuing a get the <propname> of the templateField/Button,Stack/Card.etc within a try/catch block for each line in the propertynames) is the closest I can get and takes 100 milliseconds to execute so maybe that's the way to do it in the engine. > _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
