Re: Using field with "answer" dialog open
#2 is the most difficult Spam to deal with, so Klaus's sixth sense is invaluable in this respect. The risk is that rarely, a valid post by new user whose first language is not English may be deleted as spam. Not great on the very rare occasions this may happen. I much prefer Richard's approach of a...

Re: Can recieve iOS push notifications, but how to send?
I read through the lesson, its comments and the bug reports that were referenced. It seems like it would be possible to rewrite the process in LC to use tsNet to handle the curl commands, but it's dependant on an update. I am not sure whether or when that's been done. Sending a push notification is ...

Re: Missing Fonts
There are quite a few font related issues in the buglist, some are very old. This one is very relevant to the latest part of this thread https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21804 Ken Ray described the problem in 2019, and it remains "confirmed". A workaround was suggested by Juan in 2021, e...

Re: Reading and writing text to / from a file
The point is also that there needs to be a pertinent assessment of the data and its handling. If there are reasons why a database is not being used then those reasins can be respected. However, I really don't understand why only one single massive textfile that is holding millions of records for his...

Re: Missing Fonts
Windows inheritance is still grimbulled. Set the stack textfont to "whatevervalidfontyoulike" Add a new field and put text into it. See that it inherits the font and style/size from the stack property. In the PI for the field the font details are shown in italics, indicating the effective font is in...

Re: Missing Fonts
I had a very limited play with setup of a few fields and fonts to check inheritance. There's definitely something screwy going on, inheritance of the effective textfont and fontsize are not working properly on Windows, at least as far as I understand. I am not in a position to raise a bug report/rec...

Re: Missing Fonts
I've tried using "Start using font file...". This brings the name into the Livecode Font menus, but has no effect on changing the font. So, you are successfully getting "Start using font file ..." to make the font available to LiveCode. That's a good (and needed) start. When you say that has no eff...

Re: Reading and writing text to / from a file
Clever is not to have millions of records in the same record file. Work on a separate file for today's data. Give it a separate filename based on the date. If you need to aggregate data you can append to a master archive file. Or just combine specific files in a given date range when needed. Or in a...

Re: How to perform basic arithmetic operations
I should have forced myself to carry on phonetyping and say "but it depends on the user interface" and "try to make the UX intuitive and simple/sensible". Slider values can be rounded or constrained quite simply. For a calculator UI, uh... use buttons with a big numeric (or delete, function,etc) ico...

Re: How to perform basic arithmetic operations
The field then will only allow digits or "." or "," to be entered (edit as needed). With this, the text of the field can only ever contain numbers. Of course, safest is to do both this and what Sparkout says, if you want the calculator logic to apply to inputs other than the field where you control...

Re: How to perform basic arithmetic operations
Things to check (and have the script do some of the error checking for you): Field names match the script references Field contents are a number (For example, not a blank line that's been pushed out of view at the top of the field because of a number sitting in view at the bottom) Make the script ch...
