Using "@" in an element label (Read 1019 times)

	I've noticed that when I use the "@" symbol in the text label of a layout element (not the name, I understand it is reserved) the text following the symbol is rendered invisible. Is there a section in the manual that explains this behavior?

	If you want "@' to appear in a label you must double it up in the label as '@@'. This will cause one '@' to appear in the label. The '@' is used to create arrows in labels as shown in the image below For more information on this you can read the following thread. http://www.lantica.com/Forum2/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=archived;action=display... -Ray

	Ah, that's very useful, and thanks for the link. I assume that's a standard pipe for the ones with a single vertical bar, but what are used for the ones circled here? Also, those don't look like up and down arrows to me. However, it does explain a bit of something I wondered about when looking at Bill Halpern's "Consumers_3.dsr". He has some command buttons with a nice down arrow that activate programmed popup menus. The label for these is "@-22>" With a bit of experimentation I got an up arrow using "@-22<". What is the "-22" referring to, and is there documentation for other arcane @ uses? Thanks Ray! -EDIT: I see the other thread describes the behavior of rotation and sizing, so I now know what -22 does.

	You are seeing rotation commands. If you go to the page Ray listed: [url]http://www.lantica.com/Forum2/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=archived;action =display;num=1089301938;start=1[/url] rotation is explained in my post.

	The character in the ones you circled are an open square brace followed by a close square brace. []

They are @>[] and @[]< The [] is an open square brace '[' followed by a close square brace ']' -Ray ^ Yeah what Erika just said.

	I have used those in customized menus and Open/Close Menu Tree buttons. You can show us how you are using these at the SANE meeting next Feb 4. (Just providing you with a special reminder).
