Marching ants
Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2015 5:52 pm
With the Pointer tool selected, you can click-drag to select multiple controls. With the Browse tool selected, has anyone written code to "select" controls by click-dragging?
My app "Choreographer" "bunches" buttons (with dancer images) by clicking on them, then clicking on the screen to stop the bunching. No "marching ants" just a changed button border for each selected button.
The bunched buttons are moved around with the mouseLoc. Multiple Objects - Align Objects capabilities are emulated. Also circles and curves for placing and spacing the buttons.
All button locations are "entered" for playback as a kind of animation on one card.
Problem is, the bunching is just too slow for the flow of ideas. Drawing a rectangle while bunching the enclosed objects shouldn't be too hard but I would like to see what approaches others may have come up with.
This is all non-profit with math and coding instruction in mind.
