Answer dialog size

[jessamy99]

Hi Team,

I have a little hitch happening.
When I use the "ask" or "answer" dialog boxes, the text appears very small on the latest iPad running iOS 13.

Is there a simple way to resize them?

At the moment I have replaced them with fields and buttons.
But I am sure there is something simple I could be doing.

All ideas will be gratefully received!!

All the best,
Jessamy

Hi jessamy,

on iOS and Android, the ASK and ANSWER dialogs are provided by the underlying OS, so no way to modify these dialogs.

Thankyou Klaus!

I will continue using a field and buttons then!

All the best!
Jessamy.

Ps. I hope all of you are keeping well!

Hi Jessamy,
Please forget Richmond's marmalade

Yes.
In your case i often use a group for custom dialog.

And why?

An image guarantees consistency in terms of everything (including fonts) cross-platform.

Hi Richmond,
I think images are not a good way to create dialogs.
If there is several dialogs you have to create one image for each dialog with a signifiant name etc...
Using a group is more flexible and lisible. We can just change the content and keep the structure for other stacks.

I heard the fonts issues and I understand images are very useful for people working with some langage (I think particulary sanscrit langage).
Kind regards

J'ai fait une image pour chaque dialogue . . . ce n'est pas fatigant.

Code: Select all

on mouseEnter
   set the colorOverlay["color"] of me to red
   set the colorOverlay["opacity"] of me to 100
end mouseEnter

on mouseLeave
   set the colorOverlay["opacity"] of me to 0
end mouseLeave

on mouseUp
   ---do something
   hide img "qq"
   hide img "nope"
   hide img "yup"
end mouseUp

But nothing that will hurt anyone.
