Re: Table field colored rows question

Hi, some code to make alternating row colors for fields in LC http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/661/ListStripes_0_0_5 at least one of the attempts to improve on tableField is here. -- http://berndniggemann.on-rev.com/modTableField/modTableField_0_3_2.zip ---

d LC techniques. As per the above, if you wanted that third item all down the table, you have to loop through each line and dig it out, as others have already said. Craig Newman -Original Message- From: Peter Haworth To: How to use LiveCode Sent: Sat, Jul 11, 2015 6:36 pm Subject: R

Notice too that the font changes. It seems similar to how in Excel the text entry field is a fixed font and size, regardless of the font settings of the cells themselves. On Apr 20, 2013, at 5:33 PM, dunb...@aol.com wrote: > >If I set the textSize of a virgin table field to something like 24,

Uhm... Is this still a problem for you? I Was away on a conference ;-) I see a lot of talk about gradients from you, which is weird, as my description talks of two solid colors, no gradients at all. Please go and see this example graphic: http://i.imgur.com/AXVve.png Bjoernke On 27.06.2012, a

Hi Bjornke, With lots of help from various people, I succeeded in creating a graphic as you described. However, when I set the background pattern of my table to the id of the graphic, I just get a solid grey color as the background of the whole table, no alternating row colors no matter what color

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: Gradients (was "Re: Table field")

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

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

Hi Pete: Use duplicate gradient stops in the ramp: 0.0,255,0,0 -- red 0% 0.5,255,0,0 -- red 50% 0.5,0,255,0 -- green 50%, same position as above 1.0,0,255,0 -- green 100% Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design Recently, Peter Haworth wrote: > Thanks

You can use focusIn and focusOut to keep track of which field is currently selected, then you can do as you were to know which specific cell of the current field is being modified. If I understand how the table field works, when you select a cell to type in, it pops up an overlay field named for l
