The code would have to be rewritten nearly from scratch. It wasn't designed, it just grew. Is there that much of a need that isn't covered by something else? Sent from my iPad On Jul 19, 2012, at 6:15 PM, Roger Eller wrote: > On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 6:59 PM, Geoff Canyon wrote: > >> I hesita

I hesitate to suggest it since it's so out of date now, but revNavigator does this handily. You select whichever controls you like, then on the Actions menu bookmark them. You can bookmark any number of controls on any cards or even in different stacks. Then highlight the controls/bookmarks you lik

I do not think so. You have to understand that the objects on a card are not actually loaded into memory until you go to that card, or else reference them in a script. (I may be wrong about this). It seems to me that you would need to have all the cards open at the same time, which in LC terms

In some cases this issue can be designed around but not all. For example a multi card UI with different forms on each card but you want all the left margins of the fields to align. If this is a non-resizable stack then it's just a layout issue. > Ok, let's assume the controls are unique on each

Re: multiple card alignment tool

Ok, let's assume the controls are unique on each card. First, we need an object that is common on all cards, so we create a box and group it (include a cross-hair at the center of you like). Name the group "grpMyAlignmentObject", then place the group on each card. Simply move it, and it moves on
