I noticed this afternoon in the MC help from MC 2.5 before I brought it up with the mouseenter script to help out. Note also bugzilla 3144 http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=3144 It's not just borders but also patterns... The whole zilla is about this "graphic" issues like: - allowed changed to wrong props in RPP (revpropertypalette) - there's no patterns to fields - no visual change in pattern borders for some controls The RevDocs dont explain everything and give IMOHO a bad tip (inheritance and rev-design wise). But if there is one thing you can do, it's to make a "hiliter button". it's completely unharmful and safe... you put a button (not opaque) behind the image (or what have you that you need to hilite). The technique is very easy... you wrap the image with the button's frame which you hilite! You can make it any width or color to attract some attention... The technique is demonstrated in XOSMediaLib.rev on MonsieurX.com with grid alignment, click-select image, see-trough hilite, side-list selection, scrolling in a pane (group), aligment on a grid, etc... I never thought of the animation though. http://monsieurx.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=24 There's also a specialized function for it in GIM.rev (also on MonsieurX.com) Sorry, there's not much help, it's a control-gui-image library I use across different stacks for my liveframeworkflow TAOO. (bugzilla 2449 http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2449 to which Richard and Tuv contributed in an indirect way... ;) This flashy type of hiliter was used in HyperCard to show "tab" and keyboard navitation between fields in the late 80s... And it shows how to hilite things like lists, buttons, fields, labels, images or players with just one button or key... Not that Richard's bug I not important but I believe the bugs demonstrated in 3144 are far more reaching and encompass this "enhancement" assuming "patterns" are also impossible to affect to borders of controls... just my 2 cents on this lower level issue of borders in controls in rev Deeper still is the crossplatform way of displaying graphics, patterns, inklevels which maybe opengl could solve easily... Yes, im thinking of rev controls in 3D openGL space... Your stacks could be fields of flowers or real e-books... ciao Xavier what goes in a bugzilla anyway? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
