Is there a definitive calculation that correctly sets the position of text vertically in a field?
I am using LC 6.7. I have come across a few ideas like the one below that all appear to use an arbitrary offset to the margins, is there a method to calculate this accurately? put the effective textSize of fld id tID into tTextSize -- put round (((tTextSize - 22) * 1/3)) into tOffset put round (((tTextSize - 24) * 1/3)) into tOffset put the formattedheight of char 1 to - 1 of fld id tID into tFormattedHeight put round((the height of fld id tID - tFormattedHeight) / 2) into tVerticalMargins put tVerticalMargins - tOffset into tTopMargin put tVerticalMargins + tOffset into tBottomMargin set the margins of fld id tID to 8,tTopMargin,8,tBottomMargin All the best Terry _______________________________________________ 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
