Re: Image peculiarity...

Oh don't be, Klaus, you just saved me from the last 3 days of banging my head trying to figure it out with what you did provide.

Hopefully someone who knows will chime in, I love the answers to *why*, not just the ones that let me *do* :wink:

Re: Image peculiarity...

The engines nit-pickiness I don't think is a factor, I'm playing with this in 2,3,6, 7, and 8. And you are not using the official syntax, either: Hmm, from everything I found about putting and setting the text of an image, the syntax looked right to me, however, I had also tried the statements you l...

Re: Spacing between lines on buttons

In windows there is not the glitch, in Linux you only see a single line.

Re: Image peculiarity...

Yes, the answer files actually does work, it loads the image into image "imgOriginal" just fine. I thought that once an picture was in an image control, you could then use the text of the image in the control.

Image peculiarity...

I have one that has me stumped. I was creating a small picture demo to explore different aspects of handling, well, pictures. Picture information demo..._006.png I first imported as a control the original image on the far right, then I wrote for the "Image Text" button - on mouseUp put the text of i...

Re: Spacing between lines on buttons

Well, it doesn't seem to work that way here (on Linux or on Windows), unless I am taking you too literally. Selection_003.png But, I think I did finally figure out a couple of things. my initial tests were done in much earlier versions which (apparently) don't have multiline button labels in the PI,...

I used to skateboard when I was a teenager in the 1980s, no half-pipe master or anything, but I could get around, ollie up curbs.
I think they got much better once we stopped using metal roller skate wheels and went to those rubbery ones, but by then I was too old to trust em much.

Re: What is the Data Report for livecode?

Have you read the instructions that come with calendar pane? I was curious, so I downloaded it myself. I didn't see any instructions either on the web page, or in the zip file as separate text, so for the uninitiated this might be confusing. Selection_004.png Selection_005.png What you actually hav...

Re: Spacing between lines on buttons

The label field in the inspector is multi-line. But it is a little odd. Sorry, I should have posted a picture. When I said you have to write multi line labels through code, like your "Hello" & cr & "World" line, at least here I wasn't able to do that in the label box in the PI... I was talking abou...

Re: Spacing between lines on buttons

The advantage that buttons have is that they automatically vertically centre their labels without these two conditions needing to be true. Agreed, but far as I know, you have to write multi line labels through code, like your "Hello" & cr & "World" line, at least here I wasn't able to do that in th...

Re: Spacing between lines on buttons

Oh wait, I think I misunderstood what you were asking for heh. I interpreted 'center vertically' to mean one word below the other in vertical alignment :oops: However, you can still center it, no matter how large the text field, by adjusting the margins, although that might take some experimentation...

The curiosity on my part is, wasn't the menu bar always (previously) a palette? Apparently not.

Re: Inconsistent sockets

Is this a recurring problem with liveCode sockets or is it just a script error? It doesn't strike me as a script error because it does work, just not every time . Up front I'm going to say I haven't messed with sockets (yet), so much of what I'm about to suggest won't be so I can help you, but so t...

I was using a button instead of a field because buttons gave me zero-script vertical centering of text.
You can actually center text vertically in a field without writing a line of code.
