lc8 16 I thought this should work to set the text of a field to vertical center
(in a behavior) on mouseup set the textsize of me to 28 put the formattedheight of me into tTotalTextHeight put ( ( the height of me - tTotalTextHeight ) / 2) into tTopBottomMargins set topmargin of me to tTopBottomMargins end mouseUp But it doesn't and the vertical position varies depending on the number of lines. field is 122 px high 1 line# rides very high in the field 2 Lines # rides high but not so much 3 lines # centered perfectly vertically. Futher testing reveals that I'm getting variations of responses from for the formattedHeight in three different fields which a) same number of lines b) same text size c) same text height d) different words go stack url "http://wiki.hindu.org/screenshots/formattedheights.livecode"; if you do "put the formattedheight of selected object()" into the msg box, and select the two fields you get different values for each one, even though, obviously, they take exactly the same vertical space. And, to make matters more interesting. if you set 0 margins in both fields, set the top to the same, the text rides higher in the right field. Am I doing something wrong or do we have something to report? _______________________________________________ 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
