I think most of the behavior is logical. If you have an object located somewhere, and you change its width, IMHO it ought not to change its loc. It gets fatter, but stays where it is, if you know what I mean. You actually want to change its "right", an explicit option open to you, but you originally...

Klaus has a point (no pun intended), in that a little scripting will be required. But what I am hearing is that you want to lock the topLeft of and object. This will keep it visually "in place" while allowing it to grow in a "normal" way, that is, down and to the right. So take his script and substi...

Also check out the "exitField" message, sent when the user leaves the field, but when nothing has changed.

Klaus is correct. But what he may not have said strongly enough is that when you combine an array, you change the array to an ordinary variable. The array is toast. So he suggests that you work with a copy, that you an do with as you like, and still keep the original. You can always "split" the data...

I have run this back and forth on the mail list. The issue Tal raises is that when selecting an object by dragging a selection rectangle, as opposed to simply clicking on an object with the pointer, the handles linger after deselecting. The object really is deselected (the selectedObjects returns em...

I have posted an inquiry to the mail list, It seems like a bug.

Not exactly sure what you need.

If I hilite some text in a normal (not a list) field, I can drag it to the desktop and it appears there as a clipping (Mac OS). Not sure if this is useful to you, but you need no code. If you have a list field, you cannot drag and drop at all (I think).

That rev can resolve an integer into a date can be both useful and annoying, as you have seen.

You can always say:

if fld "txtdate" is a date and fld "txtDate" is not an integer then...

My objects stay selected when I open the inspector.

I have played with this,too. Setting the numberFormat pretty much locks in the way numbers are treated in Rev. So if you say: set numberformat to "#.00" put 1 into y add 0 to y answer y You get "1.00". This makes your field references wrong, since you wanted field "myField1" but Rev thought it was f...

I tried this code and it seems to work: Not sure why, the original looks good.
Do you have the lockText set to true or false?

Topcat, an array cannot be put into a field, or an answer dialog, or anything that displays it, until it has been converted back to a normal variable. Try it: make an array, and then put it into a field. You will see empty. Now combine the array using, say, a return. You will see the data. You can g...

bn's script looks like it should work fine. But since you only have four output fields, try putting this into the card script. On a new card, I made four fields, and a bunch of buttons that were named "B1", "B2", B3"... on mouseup if the target contains "button" then put fld 3 into fld 4 put fld 2 i...

I made a gadget to answer another post recently. I am showing you this so you can play with it and hopefully get some ideas. On a new card, make a straight line graphic at an angle on the screen. This will be "grc 1". Make a button, and name it "test". Put this into its script: local x1,x2,y1,y2,xDf...

I don't think you can access the data in them directly, but you can always change them from an array variable into a normal one and then check to see if a string is present: put yourArray into temp combine temp using yourDelimiter [and yourOtherDelimiter] if yourString is in temp then put temp into ...
