foregroundColor of lines of a field?

[Zax]

Hello,

I tried to set different foregroundColor of different lines of fld but only the last was well coloured.
I used this sample script :

Code: Select all

put "Blue,Black,Red" into colours
put "" into fld "MyField"
repeat with i = 1 to (the number of items in colours)
	get item i of colours
	put it into line i of fld "MyField"
	set the foregroundColor of line i of fld "MyField" to it
end repeat

Of course, I could do a second pass, in order to apply colours. Is it the only way to do what I want or I miss something?

Second pass:

Code: Select all

repeat with i = l to (the number of line in fld "MyField")
	set the foregroundColor of line l of fld "MyField" to (line l of fld "MyField")
end repeat

Thank you for you help.


Another thing, when I try to paste some text from a LC application in a text document, it only works if I didn't QUIT my LC application. Is it normal?
I'm using:

Code: Select all

set the clipboardData["text"] to "MyTest"

HI.

Your first handler works fine for me in v. 6.7. As it should. What are you seeing? No foreground color at all?

As for the clipboard, I have seen this intermittently. Sometimes I can reproduce it, sometimes not. Anyone else see this?

For me, only the last line is coloured.

It seems the command:

Code: Select all

put it into line i of fld "MyField"

refreshes the field and so resets colours.

Hi.

This is very odd. Please forward your stack, the one where only the last line is colored, to QCC. Or post it here first, so I can test it. But what version of LC are you working in?

put "Blue,Black,Red" into colours
put "" into fld "MyField"
repeat with i = 1 to (the number of items in colours)
get item i of colours
put it into line i of fld "MyField"
set the foregroundColor of line i of fld "MyField" to it
end repeat

Your script works as exspected in LC 8.0 RC1!

This is a sample stack with the script, and a screnne capture of what happens when I run the script with LC 7.0.0

The stack and script also work as exspected in LC 7.1.3!

However I would highly recommend to NOT use IT more often that neccessary,
since IT changes when you least exspect IT!

Might you be using v.8? If neither Klaus nor I can duplicate your problem in 6 or 7, I would suspect the version...

Your conclusion seems right. Maybe there is a bug with the 7.0.0 version.

Anyway, thank you.
