Strange syntax in new widgets!?

[Bob Sneidar]

I find a lot of the widget properties less than useful. Try setting the widths of all the tabs of a segmented control to a specified width based upon the total width of the widget.

Hi firends,

this came up in the LC forum: How can I delete a line in a PolyGrid?

"deleteline" or something did not work, so I searched the dictionary
and found that one needs to set a PROPERTY to do so:
...
put 2 into tLine
set the pgDeleteRow of widget "PolyGrid" to tLine
...
Very intuitive in my opinion. NOT!

Am I the only one who find this rather ridiculous? 8-)
Come on Livecode, you can do better!



Best
