Because in my experience, an object is too abstract in the beginning and it isn't a natural word that people relate to right off-the-top. It FEELS like vocabulary. You say "button", and folks feel at home. Then you tell them that all these different things are buttons - radios, checkboxes, default buttons, regular buttons, etc., and the picture forms. Pretty soon they start to abstract it on their own - a button is something that you click/tap that does something. It isn't something you type into. Those are fields. OK, I've heard of fields. I know what fields are. So I've got buttons and fields.
As long as we're still talking about this, "on" might also be another state, e.g. if mySwitch is on, but I agree with Scott - hilight should be left as-is. "Checked" is too specific to the appearance of a checkbox. On mobile, though, there are very few checkboxes, but lots of two-position switches. -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans. On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours, and did a little diving. And God said, "This is good." _______________________________________________ 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
