Re: Why resizing a stack terminates my scripts

... I have the suspicion that the resizing of this card (I mean the resizing of the stack as you are in this card) conflicts with some attribute of some of the card's object. My uneducated guess is that this attribute may be a "fixed location" or some object's geometry of sorts but (If the guess is ...

Re: Why resizing a stack terminates my scripts

that's what I meant, Craig, but now, after using your "dummyscript" in several environments, I can be more precise: If I use the dummyscript as it is, on its own, in a simple button, then evererything goes right and you'll hear four beeps. But (I suppose that's really meaningful) if you put the scri...

Why resizing a stack terminates my scripts

I have one definite card in one definite stack that shows a strange (and ultimately annoying) behaviour. Whenever I reset the size of the stack using a line of code like the following, the stack (and the card within) do resizes to the right dimensions, but any script stops there after resizing set t...

HTML in pulldown menus?

Is it possible to use html formatting for the options of the pulldown menus in buttons (as you can, for instance) in dialog windows?

Re: Tab Panel goes rastafari

Looks like we have a bingo right over there. OK, If i set the autoarm if my cascade button to false, then it doesn't turn blue out of the apparent blue. AND, if I set the hilitefill if my tab panel to false, then this problem is solved. Thanks! :) What I still don't understand is why the tab panel w...

Re: Tab Panel goes rastafari

If I place the same cascade button on a empty card (and change the script to point the script to the fields in the original card) what happens is that it is the cascade button that turns blue!

My problem is that whenever I push a cascade menu buttom that's placed inside that panel, my tab panels turns dark blue, and it never return...

Is there any way 2 change the font 4 input in Ask Dialogs?

I think the subject says it all (I had to use the 2s and 4s for that :). Again: can you change the font of the input window (the window that receives the user's input) in the ask dialogs, leaving untouched the font for the prompt and buttons?

Re: Different alphabetical orders

Hi. My script works. Jacque has given a custom sort function, and she usually knows what she is doing. Does her script handle diacriticals? But since you have worked so hard, I will go and write a restore gadget. I only ask that you read it and see how it works. You seem intent, and so I hope you p...
