LiveCode widget - tristate switch control (requires LC 10 DP5 or higher)
Current version: 1.0.4t - see changelog
A special thankyou to @BerndN for his invaluable contributions!
An alternative to the built-in switch widget which offers a trinary instead of binary choice.
- Optionally show inline labels which are scaled and coloured automatically.
- Different background colours can be assigned depending on state (left/center/right)
- A tristateChanged message is sent up the object hierarchy if change needs to be captured for processing. Call within widget's script.
- Properties are settable directly in the Basic, Contents, Colors and Text panels of its property inspector.
Created with the new script widget facility and requires LiveCode 10.0 DP5 or higher. Use the Extension Manager (Tools menu) to install the widget (the .lce file). After installation an new icon appears in the Tools palette and it's API will appear in the dictionary.
