Hello,
I have a number of phrases, each delimited by return in a scrolling
field. When the user clicks anyone of these, the line should be
highlighted in some way.
The problem is that some of the phrases are longer than the field width,
if I use list field behaviour the longest phrases are just cut off. I
searched the archives and found two scripts for "formatFld", but none of
them worked for me.
I then tried to calculate the distance from the top of the field and
placed a gray graphic underneath, but this solution will not work when
the user scrolls the field. Grateful for suggestions.
I answer myself: I found the solution. It's funny, that's the rewarding
thing about scripting, you have a problem, you try and retry, and when you
finally find the solution you really feel fine!
So here it goes:
You have two identical fields (F1 and F2), both are ordinary scrolling
fields with dontwrap set to false and listbehavior set to false.
- In field F1 you display the phrases. Copy the text of fld F1 to fld F2.
- set the layer of the copied field lower than the layer of field F1 (that
is, you put fld F2 under fld F1)
- set the textcolor of char 1 to -1 of fld F2 to white - which is the colour
of the background (in this way the text is invisible)
- move fld F2 a little to the left (0,5 cm or so)
- group the two fields. In the group script put:
on scrollbardrag
set the scroll of fld F2 to the scroll of fld F1
end scrollbardrag
- in the script of fld F1 you put:
put word 2 of the clickLine into snr
set textcolor of char 1 to -1 of fld F2 to white (deletes the previous
bullet)
put "ﾕ" into char 1 of line snr of fld F2 (this is the bullet
equivalent, it is not displayed correctly in this email)
set textcolor of char 1 of line snr of fld F2 to 255,102,102
I'll upload a stack to show this within a few hours.
