When I was about 18 I was driving tractors on a farm: really
old-fashioned things with about 3 gears.
Later, in the United States, I learnt to drive a car; out car was a Ford
Tempo with 5 gears and a reverse.
However, when I went to take the test the officers there would not let
me use our car because it had a pea-sized spot of the windscreen. So, I
borrowed a friend's car: the only problem was that it was an automatic:
so I took a driving test in an automatic
car when I had never driven one before . . . what a load of rubbish.
I, then, left the U.S. and did not drive a car for about 6 months, and
managed to have my American licence stolen.
I started driving again in the United Arab Emirates on the basis of a
Saudi licence I had got for a bottle
of fake Chanel number 5.
That's when I really started to drive.
The few times I have had to drive a car with an automatic gear system
since then I have generally panicked as
they make me feel out of control.
WIDGETS seem to me like cars with automatic transmission: all very
clever, drive themselves, but no chance for
any creative driving.
Personally I'll always opt for 'stick' given the choice.

Basically, I think, it is a nice widget.
--- But sometimes, I would like to show text with icons together, or each
icon in a different color. Possible?
--- Then I would like to import whatever icon or image and individually set
its size, and margins individually. I like to have access to the details of
each segment and it's look and feel. Even each segment's rect and other
details should be modifiable. I would like to be able to define the size
and the color of each object's border and dividing lines. The only way
around is scripting lines or whatever to be used as an overlay -- which is
a kludge. But is it possible using LCB to address individual parts and
define a more detail-grained API?
--- Messages: I do not understand why not standard mouse messages would
work here and are not supported. Other messages than just "hilitedChange"
should be detected. But it would be important, in my opinion, to allow each
and every graphical widget to detect mouseWithin, mouseMove, mouseDown,
mouseUp, mouseEnter, mouseLeave, etc.
Is there anybody working on such widgets and updating them to newer
versions? Is there a version history for each widget?
The documentary of the widget (widgets) in the Dictionary could be enhanced
with a first date of appearance and dates of new versions as well as
enhancement requests or planned enhancements? I assume the author is
LiveCode Ltd.?
