Textsize

[aliyehia]

HI

Any help please

Hi.

if you:

Code: Select all

set the textsize of fld "yourField" to 24

Does the text in that field change? (Assuming it was not already 24)

This code does not change the size olny increase spacing between lines. I use scroll field.

Hi Ali,

does this eventually work:
...
set the textsize of char 1 to -1 of fld "yourField" to 24
...
?

What version of LC do you use?

This code does not change the size olny increase spacing between lines. I use scroll field.

Try this on a card with a field with a few lines of text in it. In a button:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   repeat 3
      set the textSize of fld 1 to 6 + random(24)
      wait 30
   end repeat
end mouseUp

Now try it with the "textHeight"

The same error

[aliyehia]

I note that when I get the text copy and past, the error appear and size is not change.
When I write in field, the code is working well and the size was changed.
But I have files, I can not re write.

Hi Ali,

does it work when you do not simply PASTE (CMD-V) but "Paste unformatted", (Menu: Edit -> ALT-SHIFT-CMD-V))?

Hi.

You know that the text properties of newly created fields inherit the properties of the owners of those fields. Usually that is the card. You can always set the properties of individual fields to other values. I wonder if the field you are having issues with does not have its own textSize property, but rather that of some other object.

But that would not prevent you from setting a field property explicitly. However you enter text, by typing, loading under script control or by pasting, if you set text properties of a field, they should stick. But this takes getting used to. For example, if you have a field with three lines of text, and you:

Code: Select all

 set the textSize of line 2 of fld 1 to 24

You will get a large textSize in that line. If you then go to the inspector, and set the textSize of the field itself, all lines except line 2 will change, but line 2 holds the size you set earlier.

So you have to get used to the fact that default properties and explicitly set properties can appear without warning, and can be mixed together.

I have no idea if this is helpful to you.
