rew in Scotland will see this as either exciting or necessary. But why not roll your own? It would be fun, and then you could share it with the world. Craig Newman -Original Message- From: Scott Rossi To: How to use LiveCode Sent: Thu, Jun 11, 2015 8:09 pm Subject: Re: I wish .

Re: I wish ...

If I understand what you're proposing, it should be fairly straightforward to create custom properties that you can set for the objects within the group (or perhaps as a behavior of the group) such as "relativeTop," and have that setProp handler calculate whatever offsets you want. Regards, Sc

Re: I wish ...

Folks, Thanks for the tips, but I know how to position objects exactly where I want in a scrolling group My "venting" was that IF you are thinking about the layout in terms of offsets from the top left of the group, you are forever adding the top or left to your object positions If my group is a

Re: I wish ...

If you want to get the size of the group including stuff outside the visible area, look at the formattedheight the formattedwidth or go directly to the formattedrect and use that. On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 3:15 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > Seems like you could write a handler that could do it. The own

Re: I wish ...

Seems like you could write a handler that could do it. The owner is what you want to look at in the dictionary. The owner of an object is the group it is in. Bob S > On Jun 11, 2015, at 09:00 , Paul Dupuis wrote: > > ... that LiveCode had a way you could set any and all the coordinates > (l

... that LiveCode had a way you could set any and all the coordinates (loc, rect, top, bottom, left, right, topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft, bottomRight) of an object inside a group RELATIVE to the group (AND independent of the group's scroll) - like the relativePoints property of a polygon graphic!
