This is Text-cant-be-right-aligned-and-scrolling? in view mode; [Up]


Date: Sun 24-Dec-1989 10:04:09 From: eps@toaster.SFSU.EDU (Eric P. Scott) Subject: Text can't be right-aligned and scrolling? Another easy recipe for self-confusion: Launch InterfaceBuilder; Command-n to start a new application. Drag a slider from the Views palette to My Window. Hit Command-1. In the (Attributes) Inspector window, set its maximum value to 100. Click OK. Drag a Form to My Window. Set its Text alignment to RIGHT. Control-Drag from the slider to the FormCell, and connect to the Now Command-r to test the interface. So far, so good. Command-q; select the Form and hit Command-1 again. Click the Scrollable switch and OK. Now test the interface again. Hmm... nothing seems to be happening. Now click on the form and do Command-a. Something IS there. Click in front of it and type a digit. Surprise! Now try changing the Text alignment to LEFT and test again. Now try changing the Text alignment to CENTERED and test again. Confused??? I sure am! -=EPS=-
