Re: Very Hard to learn for beginner

Just to be clear.
The "User Guide" in versions 8+ of LC is generated from the markdown docs you will find under the "Guide" tab in the dictionary.
It is a PDF compilation of the current guides and release notes.
The information is not different, just the format.

Re: Double click field, to unlock text and edit

So, assuming that the user has logged into the system (else anyone could tamper with the data) their ID is already known to the current session. As you are recording the user ID I am also assuming it is currently present for each item of data for a particular material ID. So, when the material ID is...

Re: Double click field, to unlock text and edit

Hi Davian's, Providing the scripts is one thing. Knowing what you want to achieve is soemtimes quite different. Could you explain in simple steps what the user is presented with and what you want them to do/to happen'? E.g. 1. Card opens 2. Fields showing the following data are filled: user, dimensi...

Re: Dictionary rewrite - thoughts, please

Hi Bernd, Yes I was worried that might happen. After I made the corrections I looked at the field object entries. Should have posted first :-) Anyway, trust you got my point about the current method of identifying the section heading. Might need a tweak'? Also I am pretty sure the <object> entries m...

Re: Dictionary rewrite - thoughts, please

Hi Bernd, Yes, it took a little time to find the script and then work out what you were doing. Here is an update. Seems "value" can be the end of a line as well as heading. Changed the heading to "Values" Given that each section is identified by the offset of ["heading" & cr] it is possible that any...

Re: Dictionary rewrite - thoughts, please

I have just modified Bernd's last upload to include parameter and value entries of the dictionary items. eg, see entry for "textencode"
DictionarySplitter_0_7_6_1.livecode.zip
Dictionary with parameter and value entries
(125.4 KiB) Downloaded 520 times
All the changes were in the behaviour of the Modfield, btn "behavMTF".

Re: handling of mouse messages in widgets

So has anything come of this discussion? It seems to have covered most bases and come to a near consensus as to the direction Mark was outlining but this was almost two years ago. I have added a link to this discussion to http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17424 as this bug seemed closest t...

Re: Dictionary rewrite - thoughts, please

Looking good. Well done.

Notice that the "Value" and "Parameters" fields of the dictionary entries are not yet included.
Given these are presented in the current dictionary as tables I can understand why.

Re: Feature Exchange: Infinite LiveCode

Ok, I will accept that.
We don't know.
Hopefully somewhere down the track a post to this particular forum will be able to correct that.

Re: Feature Exchange: Infinite LiveCode

Dear Richard, My post to the forum was not directed at you. Indeed I think I asked Mark to comment. You indeed answered my post to you to the best of your ability. I was not making comment on that at all. I am sorry if you thought I was. That you relayed from Peter the same response I had previously...

Re: Feature Exchange: Infinite LiveCode

I am sorry if my post upset you Richard. I was actually referring to my reply from Heather (which prompted my post to you). My post from Heather was in reply to a post I had sent to Kevin. I am simply requesting something along the lines,of the three line example I gave. I honestly cannot see how th...

Re: Feature Exchange: Infinite LiveCode

I too would love to see some progress communicated on this. Not just stretch goal 3, how about stretch goal 1! These projects were presented as costed items. To my naive mind this implies that some sort of work plan had been, well worked out. This also means that some sort of progress report can be ...

Re: DataGrid MisAligned

What version of LC are you using? In the shift to the new PI in LC 8 the text (and a few other panes) for the DG were "dropped" In the current RC release LC8.1.3rc1 they have been reinstated. LiveCodeScreenSnapz002.jpg Unfortunately these panels are currently missing from the LC9 DP releases. perhap...

Re: How do I remove a custom column behavior

Open the script for a non customized column.
Copy that script.
Open your customized script, select all and paste.

In other words simply replace your customized script with a script from one of the uncustomized columns.
