Richard.

Oh, goody.

Thanks so much.

So LC translates as required, in the same way it does so in other instances, like "write to file" for end-of-line characters.

Hi. "Hide" can mean several things. As you learned, you cannot hide a card like you can hide a control. A card IS the window. If you had a stack with one card only, the only way to hide it is to close the stack or send it offscreen (a common trick, by the way). Since you have several cards, you must...

I need to make a standalone for both Windows (ptui) and Mac. I need to write a file to a remote server. The Mac uses forward slashes (/) to delimit levels of the pathName, but Windows uses backSlashes (\). How does a standalone know which machine it is running on? The "systemVersion" function can be...

Hi.

I never dug that deeply into the gadget. But if you do all the things you mentioned, they will work. CalendarPane is just a LC stack.

...thought there was a master reset that reset...

Here is the wrong way to do it. Make your standalone the actual working stack. Then nothing will be saved at all.

Hi.

So much fun. In the field script:

Hi. The right way to do this is to store all the relevant properties and reset them upon "closeCard". I do not know how many controls you need to do this with, but at least it only has to be set up once. You would likely have to do this in a long list of single line settings, though perhaps a loop m...

Thanks, Sloppy submission. I have my Mac and PC versions running fine. Thank you.

The slasher still lurks out there. I will send it along. See if I can crash the whole of Scotland.

I am a newbie at writing to external text files. I made a new stack (v. 6.7.9) with one button. It is an instance of a project I am working on. In the button script: on mouseUp answer folder "XYZ" put it into tPath --DEOS NOT WORK, BUT AT LEAST NO CRASH --put it & "/" into tPath --THIS WILL CRASH LC...

Good luck. Write back with your findings.

Note that even though I placed that menuItem list in a code tagged section, I meant that the contents of the button was to be set to that text.

I have used "Calendar Pane". Simple and stable.

Hi. Succinct answers with code only. What, you will not read any other form of reply? The helpers here are all volunteers, you see. Anyway. However you read data from any source, all four styles of menu-like buttons use tabs within the contents of the button to format menuItems and subMenuItems. Do ...

Richard said it all. So if you had a string "ABCDE", and you: answer char 3 to -1, you get "CDE" answer char 3 to -3, you get "C" answer char 3 to -4, you get empty. It might be said that "the last char" and "char -1" are equivalent (I suspect it is considered more modern to use "-1"). Be aware this...

What Klaus said. Just making sure that you know he suggested TWO methods. Setting the style of a button, which can be done at any time to any object, back and forth, same as setting any property at all, or, Setting the template[object], which presets ALL the properties of a newly created object. Try...
