Stam,

I tried my best to keep text vertically centered for v. 1.0.3

Here is the changed handler "formatFieldText"

formatFieldText-KeepTxtVerticallyCentered.txt

Kind regards
Bernd

Creating a widget has a small degree of lag.
Saving a stack with this widget on a card, closing and reopening it causes more noticeable lag, with the widget become visible 1-2 seconds after the the card has opened.

The effect is greatly compounded with multiple widgets; putting 3 such widgets on a card leads to a delay of 4-5 seconds until the widgets are visible (M2 Pro Mac).

I added inline comments to make individual entries for the properties for dictionaries

script for 1.0.41 with added dictionary comments.txt

This includes the change of the top line.

Otherwise it is the the code of version 1.0.41

dispatch "triStateChanged" to me with the switchValue of me, the id of me

This is the current version of triStateChange in 1.0.43

Does that work for you?

I have tried but the message does not seem to be emitted. Neither on the card script level nor at the widget script level.

I had tried that version before but it did not work for me then either. That was the reason I dispatched it to the owner of me as in the now out commented version in the Diff does

dispatch "triStateChanged" to the owner of me with the switchValue of me, the id of me

That worked on a the card level.

'triStateChanged' does not trigger and I do not see any code relating to it.

I suggest to change the top line of your script from

script "com.sk.tristate.livecodescript"

to

script "com.sk.widget.tristate"

This seems to be in line with other script widgets and it shows up better in "tinyDict" and dictionary.

Added a command:

command setTriState pState
    set the switchValue of the owner of me to pState
    -- set the switchValue of me to pState also doesn't work
end setTriState

The intention is to be able to dispatch a command to the widget, eg:
dispatch "setTriState" to widget "tristate" with "left"
but this doesn't work - and setting a breakpoint at the command doesn't trigger. Perhaps not possible?

Upon saving a stack with a widget whose properties have been modified, closing and re-opening the stack fails to restore the previous set switchValue and it defaults to 'Center'.
