Re: Magnifying glass

Thanks to all for your answers.

Re: Magnifying glass

Hi to all,

@dunbarx
Jacque made a magnifying tool years ago, but I am not sure that is what you are talking about
Yes, it is, I remember this lady who had developed a protection system against piracy too...
Ah, memories, memories!

This tool no longer works with the latest LC?

Magnifying glass

In my old, old version of LC (6.5), I remember that there was a magnifying glass to position objects precisely on the sheet. But I don't remember how I did it...
If anyone would like to refresh my memory, thank you in advance. ;-)
Kind regards, Jean-Paul.

Re: Syntax problem

Hi to all,

My apologies for this question which I realize is very irrelevant.

Re: Syntax problem

Hi to all and thanks for your answers. The deal is really simple. I've plenty of cards which share the same stack "zzz". The first card "xxx" deal with all the user preferences, init and so one...

Thanks,
Regards, J-P.

Re: How to build a responsive UI for desktop

Hi to all @richmond62 By 'responsive' do you mean you want your app to resize to fill the whole screen? Also but not only @SWEdeAndy Thus, resizeStack and resizeControl are your friends.

I'm trying to update an old application I made with LC version six community and I would like this app...
