Hi All
Is it possible to add image, set textstyle and text formatting with answer commend??
for example,
Code: Select all
answer "Delete it" with "OK" or "Cancel"
1. "Delete it" aligns left by default but I like to set it align center.
2. I like to make "Cancel" bold and in Red color.
3. I like to put image into answer pop up
I tried htmltext like
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
get the htmltext of field "DeleteIt" ##field "DeleteIt" contains "Delete it" texts are in Blue color and center aligned
answer it with the htmltext of field "Ok" or the htmltext of field "Cancel" ## texts in field "Cancel" are in bold & Red color
end mouseUp
##no idea to put image into answer pop up
It seems not working in this way...
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
Louis

Hi.
You can add an image, see the dictionary. For the other tweaks, check out:

I think you may consider rolling your own with a small modal stack. This is simple to do, and nobody will be able to tell the difference. You will script either the standard functionality of the button(s) or be able to do much more.
You OK with doing this?

Hi Craig,
Yes its easier to make own modal stack but I need answer pop-up above a native multiline.. my own answer pop-up won't be visible when a multiline is being used.
The link is not exist anymore(Link in the link). Could you give me another source, if you don't mind?
thanks a lot!!

So this is meant for iOS/Android?
It might be a good idea to note this fact the next time!
Since the mobile platform only allows ONE stack to be open, a custom modal window/stack will not work here!

I did not know you meant this for mobil as well.
The link works for me. It shows the use of HTML tags to format the dialog. For example:
answer "<p align="&"right"&">this is some text</p>"

Or just:
Code: Select all
answer "<p align=right>this is some text</p>"

Hi Klaus, dunbarx
I can't create my own button with colors because a native multiline will be a top layer always.
so Is there no way to customize color of characters with answer dialogue on mobile platform?
I will need "Cancel" or "Delete" (with Bold & red color) option above a native multiline.
Cheers,
Louis

Hello,
i'm trying to figuring this out too, because the answer field is now giving the same color as the stack.
The above link leads to this link
http://ftp.runrev.com/forums/viewtopic. ... 43&p=19915
which is not valid anymore.
Tried also some color commands who are in the dictionary like
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "this is a nice color" into tExtkleurtje
answer tExtkleurtje
set the foregroundColor of this field to "#114499"
answer tExtkleurtje
end mouseUp
any help on this is appreciated !

Hi sphere,
here the correct link:
http://forums.livecode.com//viewtopic.p ... 43&p=19915
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "this is a nice color" into tExtkleurtje
answer tExtkleurtje
set the foregroundColor of this field to "#114499"
answer tExtkleurtje
end mouseUp
No idea what this should do with color?
1. tExtkleurtje is a variable that is filled in the first line.
2. No other line does change this anyhow.
3. A variable PER SE cannot be colored!
4. "ANSWER..." will open anohter STACK on the dektop and iOS, so what exspect you to happen?
5. Setting a foregroundcolor of a field does not affect any ANSWER dialog calls.
Yolu HAVE to play around with HTML to make the dialog colorful somehow!
Best
Klaus

ok had a little play:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
# look in dictionary HTMLText
answer "<p> <B> <i> <h1> <threedbox> <font color=white bgcolor=red> This is how you do it ! </font></threedbox> </i> </B></p>"
end mouseUp
still not exactly what i wanted because now only the background color of the text itself is different.
I want to have the color of the text white and the background of the whole field red.
but ok it's a step in the right direction.
cheers !

Code: Select all
on mouseUp
set itemdelimiter to "#"; answer last item of the script of me
end mouseUp
# Not all font faces show both of bold and italic
#
<p bgcolor="255,0,0" align="center">
<font face="Verdana" color="255,255,255" size="32">
<b><i> This is <br> how you <br> do it! </i></b></font></p>
For a better vertical spacing at end you may try "<hr>" just before "</b>".

This is great information. Is there anyway to format text in an answer dialog for iOS?

Does this not work in iOS?
as this is html to format the text.
