MPI Main Palette: Text Menu
Click on a menu to go to the help page for that menu.
MPI's text menu does all you would expect from a text menu with quite a few nice interface touches.
The menus items are contextual checkmarking properties of the current selection (for text in fields, textData graphics or object selected). The menu items that do not apply to a selection are of course disabled.
As with the other MPI menus there is no interference with you projects own menus, your own menus have precedence.
The Color and Textbgcolor submenus are popup palettes allowing you to set these properties in a way I have not see in superCard before.
Textbgcolor is disabled when the field's allowObjects is false or text selected is not is a field with allowObjects true.
The Vertical Shift and the Line spacing menu items pop a slider palette to set the Vertical Shift and the Line spacing lve as you drag the slider thumb. Here is a wee 260 k QuickTime movie of the Vertical Shift palette in action.
