LiveCode Forums

If you don't care why did you bother to point something out. Give it a rest. I'm pointing it out because it's not just about you. This is a public forum read by all, and every post here should be to show the best possible answer, to help all. If there is a better answer, I'm happy to be corrected, ...

Like I said, I really could not care less what you choose to do.

I was just pointing out the error in your statement

it can get obscured by other substacks unless one is very careful.

which can never apply to modal stacks, and invalidates your argument.

Thanks Zax Also be aware that FerrusLogic released a LiveCode port of the javascript library TinyColor , and it's pretty amazing. It does what you describe and a whole lot more. It's a scriptOnlyStack so you can just copy the text to any stack/substack script if you want to obscure it in your app. J...

However, the 'problem' about using a substack as an answer palette is that it can get obscured by other substacks unless one is very careful. You really didn't read, or at least comprehend, my post, did you? I said "presented as modal " If a stack is modal , no other stacks can be in front of it , ...

It points up to the control. I was wondering if it should loop back and point down to the control (or even just back to the message path line). Hmmm, I'm not sure looping down up and down again (if I understood correctly) benefits... the graph gets cluttered with (in my mind) unnecessary lines/arro...

Stam. Could not agree more. But where else might it be possible to insert an image where before I (we?) only assumed text could go? I still have not heard from Klaus on what might be a single line of code that placed that image into the dialog. Craig I know what you mean, but in my mind just becaus...

HOW COULD THEY NOT mention this somewhere? It would be a fabulous addition to who knows how many LC gadgets. Craig I'm guessing that by the time you've made the image the right size, positioned everything as you want and then have to keep doing this for every image, you're probably better off desig...

The only possible change could be to make the red arrow return to the top.

It already does?
Or perhaps that needs to made clearer?

My comments about the message path are a paraphrase from the documentation: A before handler allows developers to produce behavior scripts which can handle messages sent to a control without having any effect on the message path, unlike front and back scripts. So, yes, the message does travel a sli...

Thanks Brian - I'll respond to your nice example later, once I've had a chance to test something. I hope you don't mind me quizzing you on this, because to my mind it still doesn't make sense... and I'd like it to ;) 'before' and 'after' don't change the message path. They are additional messages th...

I've modified the chart to hopefully approach accuracy... sadly can't experiment to confirm for a few weeks, but do point out any errors...

I like the idea. I actually threw a stack together last night to test/verify flow. That side route should be “not in” but before/after still will get called. If you pass in the object, then both “on” handlers will fire before the “after” one will. If you pass in the behavior, then the “after” will ...

Thanks for the share Brian!

On an unrelated note, I see GitHub views your code as 100% HTML, which is mildly aggravating...
When will LC push for their language to be recognised as such on GitHub?!?!?!

Generally I'm not sure you can use the custom props as an array as is and have found I have to put them into their own array.
This should work:
