That is usually my excuse, but since I am now 2 weeks caffeine free, my new excuse will have to be my dyslexia.

if myNumber < 8700 or myNumber > 8999 This will match all numbers. It needs to be "and" rather than "or". Look again. Actually this is correct, it is asking if it is out of the range rather than if it is within the range. I usually work this way so I can handle the "out of range" situation first an...

Here's a hint. Look up pendingMessages in the dictionary. Also, if the reset script is in another button, make the variables global and declare them in both button scripts.

Fred.

Yes this works for me.

This is why I don't ever use the geometry. It makes me feel stupid every time I try to understand it. (kind of like women) If you disable the geometry of both the group columnBrowser and the button horizontalDivider and then put this in the stack script I think it will give you the effect you are af...

I'm not sure if you know this, but your example shows the file path to use back slashes like windows. LiveCode uses forward slashes.

It is doing exactly what it is being told to do. It is creating a message to be sent every "barSpeed" milliseconds. However because the repeat loop is executing, those messages can''t. So when the repeat loop finishes they all get executed at once. Actually the best way to do this, is to eliminate t...

Thank you Klaus. I believe I can work with that.

So, like all repetitive tasks I decided to create an app to automate the process. The app works perfectly in that all I have to do is open ...

maybe throw in a line like this?

Hi TJ, yes, mis-using a pulldown menu button to change its label IS in fact a violation of any thinkable HIG :D But ou can also "trigger" a menu item if you only have the NUMBER of that item: ... set the menuhistory of btn "your pull-down here" to 2 ... Will cause the same as if the user had select...

Thank you for all the replies, sorry if I did a poor job of explaining my issue. I was looking for something like what magice posted. send "menuPick myChoice" to btn "myDropDownBtn" Basically I want to simulate a choice being made on the drop down menu. As Klaus pointed out it does not seem to have...

Yes, I see what you mean. So, he must want to simulate the choice.

If you just want to change the displayed choice of the dropdown, you can do it by changing the "label". If you want to simulate the choice of one of the items, then try this:
