Dictionary - Frame styled stack

Post by xfratboy » Sat Jan 08, 2011 5:36 pm

This may sound super elementary, but how do all of you experts build the structure for a framed-styled stack? I guess the best example of what I'm talking about is the Dictionary & Resource Center features within LiveCode. Does anyone have a basic example?

Here's my messy attempt at doing this. As you can see, scrollbars and everything gets messed-up real fast.

Hi xfratboy,

I tested your "messyGeometry" stack and i watch you use the geometry propertie.
It may that is better to resize objects by script when the resizestack is sent.

Best regards
