Re: Gradients (was "Re: Table field")

Thanks Bernd. I think I'm finally beginning to understand at least some of the gradient parameters. I still can't figure out how to do this in the Inspector though but that's OK, the scripts from everyone work great. Pete lcSQL Software On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 2:07 PM, BN

Re: Standalone won't run

That is an interesting idea. I guess I'd be more inclined to update the child controls by sending a message to their template that would update all the controls of that tie, just becuase I think you'd probably want all the controls of a specific type to look the same for HI purposes. I guess you

The templatexxx (eg, the templatebutton, the templatefield) governs the properties of newly created controls only. Changing a property of the template will not change anything in already-created controls. Nonetheless, setting the properties of the template before creating a new control is a goo

Re: Standalone won't run

You can do that now I believe. There are templates for every object. There's a keyword for each named "Templatexxx" where xxx is the type of object - card, button, field, etc. See the dictionary for details. Pete lcSQL Software On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 4:36 PM, Bob Sneida

This happens with no stacks open or in memory and no plugins active? It sounds like there is something intercepting the enterKey or returnkey message and not passing it, perhaps in a frontscript. Bob On Jun 26, 2012, at 4:11 PM, Howard Bornstein wrote: > Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what

I was actually thinking it could be even more granular in that you could have any number of "template" objects for different things. Let's say you wanted labels to be one font and size and style, but the editable fields to be another, and buttons to be yet another. Wouldn't it be cool if you cou

Re: Standalone won't run

That is what happens. An object's properties are inherited from it's owner unless you specify a different value either in the inspector or by script. Controls are owned by a group or a card, a card is owned by a stack and a stack is owned by its main stack. Assuming I'm not totally offbase, that'

Pete, the ramp of the gradient has 4 positons. 1 at 0, 2 at .50001 and 1 at 1. the ramp is what you work on in the inspector. the first two define the first color and the other two the second color. By setting the color of the pair of the positions to the same color and making the middle posi

I agree. But then what is inspiring the font change? Is it just availability, or does the font not look good cross platform? If you HAVE to swap fonts, then an alternate card might be cleaner, but I guess there's more than one way to skin a cat. Bob On Jun 26, 2012, at 1:44 PM, Peter Haworth

Richard, Like others, I'm not sure what you're looking for. If you want to run a script after the user clicks outside a field, use the closeField and exitField messages. You could also add a graphic to the group, behind all the controls of the group, and add a mouseUp handler to this graphic.

Foxpro was the same way. I think all modern languages work like that. It allows the developer to prioritize statements in the order of least to greatest cost. For most things no one would notice the difference, but for some operations it may make a big difference. Bob On Jun 25, 2012, at 9:3
