Richard. Just for old times... It's too bad that so many other complex formats like HyperCard.. I get problems with LC now and then, never a corruption but rather a crash forcing a reload. But I do not think I ever saw more than a couple of similar issues with Hypercard, and like you, I started usin...

Hi.

With only five cards, copy them by hand to a new stack. For the subStack, just reset its mainStack in the inspector to the new stack.

Your script is exactly what i need to get the day clicked, do you know how I can calculate the month by getting the cell clicked (using the tabstop) ? Not sure how your calendar is constructed. Are there only a series of dates without any other information? In other words, at the end of the "Januar...

Make a table field, and put some text into a few lines of it. Put this into its script: Click on any cell. The entirety of all "cells" in all lines before and including the "cell" clicked on becomes hilited.

You don't even need to use the "do" construction: on mouseDown if the clickText <> "" then set the backColor of the clickChunk to "red" end mouseDown You need to check the clickText; the problem with this sort of kluge is that the "cell" is not accessible as a whole the way we want it, and it matter...

Panos.

I was overjoyed that v.9x had fixed the old and very annoying errant red dot issue. Please let us know when this is resolved.

Try this in the script of a table field where there is data in each "cell" of the first line of that field: on mouseDown put the clickchunk into tChunk do " set the backColor of tChunk to blue" end mouseDown Click on one or more "cells". Is this enough of a marker? The choice of color can be selecte...

Hi. It is certainly possible to do all you want. But because it requires more from a table field than is natively within that field, kluges will be required. Just one more time (as I mistakenly thought at the top of this thread), much is simplified if the scroll can be vertical instead of horizontal...

So I guess that in order to colorize a full "cell", one would have to overlay, say, a button with a moderate blendLevel, size it and place it by keeping track of the hScroll and calculating the tabStops of the item of interest?

No joke. i asked for the entire cell, not just the text within,

Craigsie.

On another note, since you mention it, I have no idea what the cellFormat property is. It does not appear in the dictionary.

Sounds interesting, though.

Anyone?

Craig

I just saw that you wanted a horizontal calendar, so the natural parsing available with lines is not valid. All the data resides in line 1, no? Have to play with this for a while, but at least you can do odd things like: on mouseDown put the clickchunk into tChunk set the itemDel to tab do " set the...

Hi. A table field is just a field with certain properties. You can set the backColor (or the textColor) of, say, line 20 of that field to, say, "red". You may want to change the margin properties so that the backColor completely fills the "cell". Some other tweaks will likely be necessary as well......

Hi.

What Klaus said. Unless you use only ask and answer commands, always, always select the inclusions yourself. You may miss some, but make that the first thing you suspect.

Hi.

Tried it out of the box, and the CSV import works fine,
