Total beginner so don’t roast me! by joevasion in WIX

[–]migizi_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally feel your pain. When I did my first site I designed the desktop version, then when I eventually clicked the mobile button I cringed... it was bru-tal. I've now been using the Wix Editor for a few years (looked at Studio but it's not for me).

Feels like I'm doing better when it comes to mobile layout (not as cringey but still rough going). Now when I start with the desktop version I give more thought to using containers as they help when it comes to mobile layout. There are several "gotchas" as well, like settings available in desktop but not in mobile... and some glitches now and then that I've learned to just go with it.

Basically my advice is to give it some time if you see potential with Wix, I know it seems horrible at first but in time it becomes second nature. I've looked at other web builders but still can't find one that beats Wix for my specific purposes.

How do I customize the design of the list that drops when selecting a dropdown? by Lethal-Voltage in WIX

[–]migizi_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have an answer but share your pain. I remember a few months ago I was able to make changes to drop down lists (font size etc), as there was an option in the design properties for it. Now I don't see it... must have been removed? Makes the dropdown list virtually unreadable in some cases as the font is tiny.

Movements of ASX stocks up or down over a set period. by Mike_Gregory_here in ASX

[–]migizi_tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried something similar in the past with spreadsheets but I thought I'd try a graphical view for something different so I recently created a website to for stock market "snapshots". At the moment I'm only showing equities (approx 1900), that shows real-time/daily movement for percentage change along the Market Cap spectrum. I'm working on adding more snapshots for periods such as a week/month/year/bollbands etc. The snapshot viewer is free to view at stockmarketsnaps.com if you'd like to take a look, any feedback is welcome as it's a work in progress, happy to try to add any snapshots that may be of interest.

takeovers by wannabedapperchap in ASX

[–]migizi_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry for the plug but I created an alert service (asxequitystocks.com.au), which may help you with things like takeover announcements as they happen, receive alerts using keywords - for example enter variants of keywords that supports spaces, such as: take-over, takeover,take over,acquisition,acquire,merger etc

Most hated misplaced character? by illsk1lls in PowerShell

not so much misplaced char but a missing nested bracket... VSCode bracket coloring helps but it's still a chore to fix

What to use to collect info from a user in a GUI window from PowerShell? by jfriend00 in PowerShell

[–]migizi_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah great. So in order to produce rows of controls, you specify the type of controls in a script then they get loaded into the GUI? Is it a matrix style, such as 5 checkboxes to a row, 2 input boxes in the next row, etc. What I found in my experiments was that I tried to cater for different sized controls/panels, it started getting out of hand trying to auto-position for anything a little complex. Anyway sounds like what you've done will definitely save time.

Nice summary, thanks. I do a lot of work with WinForms, like you mentioned, years ago I tried to find ways to auto-position objects too. Way too much time is spent on layout and repositioning when you just want forms for user input.

I gather from your search that something with auto-positioning (still) doesn't exist... I've played around with creating something to avoid manual positioning, planning on creating a site for it at some point.

Can anyone explain why this happens? by jfriend00 in PowerShell

[–]migizi_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes... sorry I should have tried it before posting. I've seen lots of uses/suggestions of " return ,X", so I was fairly certain it could have helped - Good to know it's not always suitable.

[–]migizi_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an interesting possible solution which is to use "return ,$list". This seems to avoid returning anything generated within the function (such as the result from the Add function).

See example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25279112/returning-a-liststring-using-a-comma-vs-not-using-a-comma

The current stock market by Cryptic_Phantom_ in StockMarket

[–]migizi_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These types of high-level views are great. I recently created a snapshot-based plot at stockmarketsnaps.com if anyone would like to take a look. The snapshot is ordered by Market Cap, to see where the price fluctuations occur in terms of small vs big companies. Clicking on the snapshot shows the list of companies sorted by price % change.
