Re: How to change the order of the fields?

Just figured out that you can set up your tabbing order by choosing a large number and then change your objects in order. LC will choose an available LAYER number and continue to reorder their sequence. It made re-ordering my tabs "real easy". EXAMPLE: Field1 Layer 2700 Field2 Layer 12 Field3 Layer ...

Re: Inserting text into scrolling field

Newbie4

Thanks. The "for each" repeat loop does it.
I was able to insert a new value into the list
and then save it in the custom property.

Re: Using the ComboBox

HI Bill, ... I would like the list to remain open under the text entry area so the user can see the remaining choices. How can I force a "click" on the drop-down arrow in my script. Sorry, I have no idea. Maybe this is not possible at all? You can also use FILTER (less typing :-)), which is IDEAL f...

Re: Using Option Menu as ComboBox

Coming from Visual Basic, I could use a comboBox easily. The VB comboBox has methods when entering/leaving a comboBox, filtering down the comboBox as the user types, etc. I am having trouble emulating the same approach with the Option Menu. Have you tried LC's native comboBox control? It responds t...

In a text field script, I am trying to capture the keystroke so that I can exit the field when the tab key or enter key is used. I want to know if the user enters a "Tab", "Enter", UPPERCASE or lowercase letter, the space bar, the apostrophe ('), or a digit. I have tried using "on rawKeyUp", "on raw...
