Dear Ken,

Thank you for the suggestion!

Could you set the margins of the field to match the "margins" of the button
and then adjust them accordingly? That is, if the button when it resizes
gets a virtual top and bottom margin of 6, couldn't you set the margins of
the corresponding field to 0,6,0,6 ?



I had already tried that! - unfortunately, it does not work. Try this (it's very quick):


Once again: the MARGINS and BORDERWIDTH of both the button and the field are the same. Try it for yourself:

1) Make a new pulldown menu (button). Its label will read: "Button 1". Set its height and width to 'formatted'.

2) Place a new field next to it ("field 1"). Enter the text "Button 1" into the field.

If you use the messageBox to check the margins and the borderWidth of the button, you will see that they are:

the margins: 4
the borderWidth: 2

3) set the margins and the borderWidth of field "Field 1" to match those of the button.

OK, now try aligning the baselines of the text in both objects.

If you align the 'tops', it doesn't work.
If you align the 'bottoms', it doesn't work.
If you align the 'yLoc' (vertical center), it doesn't work.

Of course, some of these options will work when the text on both objects is a certain size, but none will work for ALL text sizes. I need to find a way/formula that can align the baselines whatever the textSize of both objects is - note: the textSize of both the button and the field will ALWAYS be the same...

Any suggestions, anyone?
