The simple way, would be to just change the font to underlined in the property inspector.

Hi magice,
thank you for your reply, unfortunately don't seems to fit my needs. What I would like to do is mimic this kind of list (see attachment, no need to scroll or put icons if necessary)

Mag.
This is a job for a datagrid form. Ever used those?

Craig... Not necessarily a job for a datagrid...
Have a look at the attached...I have not included putting an icon in front of the text but you should see how it would be easy to add that when you look at the script and how the group is built in the application browser...

Hey Dixie.
The OP wanted a scrolling field with visible lines and icons in sync. Seems to me that a DG does that out of the box.

Hi Dixie, great stack indeed. Unfortunately I tend to avoid to use native controls when I can because they add complexity in the code.Dixie wrote:Craig... Not necessarily a job for a datagrid...

Thanks dunbarx. Not used yet, I know that I have to use them, my concern is the duty of the DG set in a complex way to manage your icons and behaviors. So for this project I would like to use something of simple and easy to learn quickly (it's for a quick tutorial).dunbarx wrote:Mag.

I used a scrolling list field with large font size and set this properties:
Code: Select all
set the textHeight of field "myField" to "86"
set the leftMargin of field "myField" to "30" (this can be set also in Inspector)
set the textShift of word 1 to - 1 field "myField" to "-30"Re: List separated by lines in a Scrolling List Field

Thank you so much, really interesting stack.
I have a problem trying to center the image because it tend to go too high, actually stays of the baseline of the text so it's ok, but wanting to put a bigger picture would be better if you could turn it down a bit '. However, are just details...
