Okay a newer NEWER version. If no parameters are passed for the fields, it will use the first two hilited objects. Also, I check that pOffset is a number by adding 0 to it in a try/catch statement.
on alignFieldBaselines pField1, pField2, pOffset local tDescent1, tDescent2, tBot1, tBot2, tDiff1, tDiff2, tRef local fFormattedBottom1, fFormattedBottom2 -- check passed parameters if pField1 is empty and pField2 is empty then put the selectedObjects into pFieldList put line 1 of pFieldList into pField1 put line 2 of pFieldList into pField2 end if -- check passed parameters try if word 1 to 2 of pField1 is not "Field ID" then put the long id of field pField1 into pField1 if word 1 to 2 of pField2 is not "Field ID" then put the long id of field pField2 into pField2 if pOffset is empty then put 0 into pOffset add 0 to pOffset catch theError return "Invalid parameter passed." end try -- get the formatted bottoms of both fields put item 4 of the formattedRect of line 1 of pField1 into fFormattedBottom1 put item 4 of the formattedRect of line 1 of pField2 into fFormattedBottom2 -- calculate the descents of both fields put item 4 of measureText(line 1 of pField1, pField1 ,"bounds") into tDescent1 put item 4 measureText(line 1 of pField2, pField2 ,"bounds") into tDescent2 -- get the bottom of both fields put the bottom of pField1 into tBot1 put the bottom of pField2 into tBot2 -- calculate the differences put tBot1 - fFormattedBottom1 + tDescent1 into tDiff1 put tBot2 - fFormattedBottom2 + tDescent2 into tDiff2 -- calculate and set the new bottom for field 2 put the bottom of pField1 -(tDiff1 - tDiff2) into tRef set the bottom of pField2 to tRef + pOffset end alignFieldBaselines _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
