wideMargins
Type
property
Summary
Specifies the amount of blank space at the edges of a field.
Syntax
set the wideMargins of <field> to {true | false}
Description
Use the wideMargins property to set all the margins of a field to 20 pixels.
The wideMargins property sets the blank space at the edges of a field to 20 pixels.
You can use the margins property instead to set all four field margins to any value. The wideMargins property is included in LiveCode for compatibility with imported HyperCard stacks.
The wideMargins property interacts with the margins : setting the margins property to 20 sets the wideMargins to true, and setting the wideMargins to true sets the margins to 20.
Examples
set the wideMargins of field "Info" to true
