Hi Jeff, ... One puzzle: When building a standalone I've always selected the inclusions manually, and (despite recent name changes) identified the two -- for encryption and printing to pdf -- that are needed. However, I've found also that *not* selecting the (also renamed) Answer and Ask Dialog item...

From the dictionary, looks I had this not correctly in mind, so maybe my warning was a bit too much: ... The screen is locked while a resizeStack handler is running, so it is not necessary to use the lock screen command to prevent changes from being seen. (However, the lockScreen property is not set...

You know what I mean!

Richmond, some time ago you admitted that I had finally been able to convince you to use "mouseup" instead of "mousedown". Maybe I can also convince you to use "set the loc of xy to x,y"*** instead of "move xyz to x,y", what you ALWAYS use? 8) That will make everything much more "snappier"! Try it h...

Hi Jeff, ... Apparently at some time in the past I'd inserted this in order to force the answer dialog to display over the black background, but my app does not include any such substack. Presumably, this snippet employed something internal to LC that I must've run across somewhere online. ... when ...

Important hint from LC:

See Craigs last posting!

Thanks

Hi Craig,

not sure I fullly understand your problem, but check the image property CenterRect in the dictionary.
This lets you define a region of the image which should be streched when resizing the image instead of streching the complete image.
Sounds like this could be a solution.

Hi Glenn,

well, to access the first record, just omit -> ... & CR & "LIMIT 1 OFFSET '"&tRecordNumber&"'", which will skip the records up to tRecordnumber!

Great, so now it is not neccessary anymore and both of us are quite content.

I deleted it, it was spam!
Posting a completely meaningless response to a several years old thread is always spam!

OK, you are probably right: force of habit...
