Re: Rogue window

To me that would only be a slight improvement, as I wouldn't know what specific thing had caused the problem in the first place. I guess I must be obsessive.

Re: Rogue window

Thanks for everyone's interest. I would run LC from the app not a stack. Once LC is running with this rogue window, I opened any stack then invoked "Close and Remove from Memory", that cleared the rogue window. Also every button I clicked would come up with a beep and refuse to do anything. But the...

Re: NativeGeometry

I'm not familiar with it, but I just went to Github and downloaded it. It appears to download, install and work. Although in what way it is different/better then the installed Geometry Manager I cannot say.

Click the Code button here to download it. https://github.com/dagirard/NativeGeometry

Re: Audience Polling System

Maybe the simplest option of all would be to just have the app write each response to a new file to (e.g.) a Dropbox account where the file name was the userid + question number. The manager programme can just download the responses from Dropbox and process them, placing results back in another Drop...

Re: Audience Polling System

Some webservers are programmable. Such webservers have shared variables (hashed arrays, like in Livecode). https://naviserver.sourceforge.io/n/manual/files/main-features.html The app connects to the server and is given a random UUID as a client ID. And the server only responds to requests that use s...

Re: Rogue window

I just tried with the errordisplay and even that responds to mousestack() from Message Box (provided the mouse is over the errordisplay). My guess is that Spinblueelder is not successfully issuing commands from the Message Box. I can see no reason why that rogue window will not return its long name,...

Re: login form w/ database

Once the application load it will ask where the database is location and once the user locate the database it will restart. Then it will go to the login form. I noticed that once the database is found the application will not go to the step 1 which is to find the database. Is this possible in livec...

Re: Rogue window

On launching LiveCode have a strange window appearing. About 10cm deep and very, very long without any buttons to get rid of it. Any ideas what this is and/or how to get rid of it? Please do provide a screenshot for Panos. To find out more about what it is, Move the mouse over the window, type ctrl...

Re: Doable?

1. Is it doable to create an environment to allow users to create an online account that allocates server space and subsequently lets users with that login collaborate on text and audio (maybe video) projects in real time? The projects would need to remain in the cloud but have an option to downloa...

Re: How To Navigate / See the Project Structure

Project Browser replaced Application Overview at least 5 years ago. So it's no surprise the latter hasn't been updated. It is included in the Menus as a courtesy to people who prefer it. Personally my favourite project navigation tool is Geoff Canyon's "Navigator". Of all the plugins I've ever loade...

Re: Params to Python external script?

That's cool. Scott Raney, the man behind Metacard (the origin of Livecode), used to often cite Metacard as superior to Tcl. Tcl was famously conceived of and known as "a glue language", designed to coordinate/integrate input/output of other programmes.

I'm glad it works. I guess you are writing the image out to a file then having Python process the file?

Re: Exact name reference

Livecode's normal behavior for referencing controls is to reference the first control (in layer order) that matches. Is there a way (besides using control id) to force livecode to do an exact path match of a reference? Example: I have a group "abc". Inside group "abc", I have two controls: group "d...
