I was hoping that the page ranges bug would get fixed. I am trying to do this myself but not being able to tell where soft line breaks occur has me blocked. Some one posted a summary sizing of all of the different parts of a character. Unfortunately I can't find it. Now that I know about form

Ahh, bug http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11688 I thought this had been fixed! I also seem to remember a longer discussion and an earlier bug report but perhaps I am mistaken. The discussion may have been on the forum. I rarely handle text that uses spacebefore and spaceafter and so ha

Re: Find the scroll location in wrapped field

Life is good when you have fixed line heights, dontwrap or listbehavior and you don't use spacebefore, spaceafter or imageSource As you might expect, I live in opposite world: with multiple fonts, text sixes, spacebefore, spaceafter, word wrap and imageSource. (I am trying to build a special

Re: Find the scroll location in wrapped field

Richard, I don't think the solution works because of a bug in livecode where spacebefore and spaceafter are not taken into account. This is the problem: put the formattedHeight of line 1 to tLOS of fld 1 into tScroll I just posted my solution in the forums and I had to manually add them in.

Re: Find the scroll location in wrapped field

I knew you could select the line number, but I did not know starting at the end would provide the best results. This will be helpful, thanks. One method I have used in the past is to put the htmlText of the field into a variable, then put line 1 to (the line to scroll to) into the field (or dele

As per the forum discussion, if you want the desired text to scroll to the top of the field you simply need to scroll first to the bottom of the field. Selecting line x of a field instructs the engine to scroll the field contents until line x is visible. As the engine stops as soon as the desir

Find the scroll location in wrapped field

If I have a single line that is within a non fixed line height field that is word wrapped. How does one find the amount to set the vScroll if the word has been wrapped? I am trying to set the scroll so the word is positioned as the first visible line. Thanks Mike __
