Easy resizing graphics - like in the IDE

ewi · Post by **ewi** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 1:45 pm

Greetings,

I looked into the doc and I have found the property dontResize. But in the IDE, I have the 4 small squares in the corner and in the middle of each line. In the run mode, I don't have access to these small squares. Obviously, these small squares mouse-drag type methods associated with.

My question: How can I make use of these inherent features? How can I display the squares and have access to the drag-mouse feature to resize the graphics (or more generically the object)?

The IDE seems to be written in revolution -- as well as the objects. It looks like that there are IDE-specific features of objects are suppressed and inaccessible in the run-mode.

Best

Hi Ewi,

Make a palette with a browse tool and a pointer tool button. When the pointer tool is active, you can select and change objects. Make sure to set the cantSelect of objects that are part of your interface to true.

There is also the editMode property. You might want to check that out.

Best,

Mark
