Any bright ideas?

Enter something like this into the message box, move the cursor over the field-in-question and hit enter:

Code: Select all

set the textfont of the mousecontrol to "Your fancy font here...";set the textsize of the mousecontrol to 26

Then enter:

Code: Select all

save the mousestack

leave the cursor where it is and hit enter again (Optional)

Et voila font and size changed for THIS version of LC.

That's great, especially as my efforts at editing the 'results' field in the 'Message Box'
stack wouldn't stick.

Yep, the "mouseXXXX" things come in quite handy from time to time!

dang. i learned something new today. i hate that.

This is another great example of the fact that everything in LC is "just a stack".

All hackable, though oftentimes at your peril.

So sorry, Mister!

You might try to use html to change the properties of the text. https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/li ... euser/html

It worked on the answer command in previous versions

Heya Cyril,

Is there anyway to get a complete indexing of that pgcps site (preferably by topic)? I always find the information useful, but sometimes difficult to dig out.

Hi Bogs,
Sorry, I no longer have edit control of that website. I can not make any changes or updates. I do not have a site map, higher view or index of it.

I agree, there are many cool samples of code and solutions to problems that my students worked out. I wish I could expound on them and make them more visible.

I was going to move it to my new site but could not figure a way to do it easily. That site was written using Google webpages and has a lot of garbage and extraneous code. If you know a way, I would appreciate it.

Otherwise, there are so many other websites on LiveCode, I don’t know if it is worth the effort re-doing it.

Are you volunteering? 🤨

Thanks, it is good to here from you. Maybe next time I am in Europe, we can meet over a brew.

Are you volunteering?

I'll see if I can get a decent scrape of it.

[Newbie4]

If you want to download the entire site, use sitesucker. http://ricks-apps.com/osx/sitesucker/index.html. It is a great utility.

[bogs]

Will look into it, thanks!

I would be happy to provide hosting for the repository in a subdomain at LiveCodeJournal.com if needed.

Very generous offer Richard, specially since we don't know the size of the site yet Much appreciated.
