I am changing some variables and properties of objects upon switching to another screen. Changing variables is easy, but I am missing something when it comes to editing the box object. Here are screenshots of the error I am getting and my script.
Another thing I dont seem to get right is accessing an object inside a panel through script. That’s no longer part of the script below though due to the same error. If I can resolve the one below, I might have a better chance of succeeding at getting both right.
The name of the panel whose box I want to edit, is “pnlCenterScreen”. The variable in LLX containing the color that needs to be applied to the content element/property of that box, is ” varScreenColor”.
Why would I use the variable containing the color to reference the name of the panel?
I know somehow the “getProperties().edit()” also needs to be in that statement, but the following also gives an error stating “the name of the property should begin with a i, s, f or p”.
var pnlCenter = d.getItemByName(“pnlCenterScreen”).getProperties().edit().getBox(“p.box”);
Ok, I have managed to get this far without getting any errors…but the colours don’t change. I have been over the API reference dozens of times and I can’t see what is wrong. Is this a bug?
Gabriel Garcia no I didn’t change the font size. You can pinch ghe screen to zoom in or out to reduce the font size…like you would zoom in or out on a photo.

Because you are not commited the editor
d=LL.getCurrentDesktop();
p=d.getItemByName(“Test”);
e=p.getProperties().edit();
b=e.getBox(“i.box“);
b.setColor(“c”,”ns”,0xff666666);
e.commit();

Rudolph van Coppenhagen BTW did you in any way change the font size in the script editor or you are using a tablet?
