Hi All, I am looking for ways to determine the approximate number of characters that will fit into a text field of fixed height and width.
I am guessing there is some way of doing this by working with the line height, font size, and the height and width of the field. Anyone ever had a need to do this? Or is there an obvious way? I am developing a small project for my 14yo daughter to work on. She is always having to produce palm cards for talks at school. Using Word is a pain for this sort of thing. I thought it might be fun and useful for her to develop a palm card creator. Essentially we would create a base card with a text field of fixed height and width. When she types or pastes text into the field it would detect when the first palm card is full, create a new one, and then flow the text into the next text field. This would go on until all the text is entered. Then we print the cards (probably 4-6 to a page) and viola - palm cards sorted. cheers -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Any-ideas-on-working-out-number-of-characters-approx-that-can-be-entered-into-a-field-tp4669110.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
