Documentation of Field object post v5.5

Post by Simon Knight » Fri Nov 15, 2013 7:12 pm

I am seeking documentation about the field object which I think was updated in version 5.5. I know that I can read about the properties in the dictionary but is there a single document that describes what a field is capable of?
best wishes

I've just added a new section to LiveCode Journal archiving the Release Notes for recent versions:

Thanks a lot, Richard!

It is really hard to find anything on the LC webpage :?

Hi Simon,

a while back I posted a stack from Runrev that showed the features of the new field.

http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtop ... 686#p55064

It is quite informative and helped me to understand.

Sadly, no right alignment in table fields.

Kind regards
Bernd

I think Ben made it.
Never saw it on RunRev... Now I know what all that field fuss was about!
