LiveCode Forums

Richard, you are a Livecode Expert and I really appreciate the forum and your continued contributions here. For a "beginner" - well, not a bloody beginner any longer, but still a beginner - your directions are helpful, and of course, any suggestion is just a big huge help. And I am thanking everybod...

I would like to thank everyone who replied. To get really deeply acquainted with Livecode is something that is not done in a day. To simplify the question. Even if I understand how to create and maintain a database using LiveCode - and even I had some success with PHP and MySQL -, I can not yet unde...

Still being a beginner to Livecode, I have lots of questions. In another thread, I was asking for the possibility of developing a "Livecode Excel Light". I am not actually striving to develop another Excel, but to me, it was and still is an exercise to think about what could possibly all be done usi...

Thank you for the nice replies. Mini-Excel Well, given the time, I will take over the challenge trying to make something like Excel. I am not sure how far I will get. It is an exercise for now. I am very grateful for helpful hints. And if I come up with something then I will share. Before paying for...

NICE INPUT. THANK YOU ..! Regarding creating fields in a scrolling group as an illusion that there is an endless number of fields, I have questions -- because I want to implement this. So, let us imagine 5 fields within a group. 3 of these fields are visible. 2 of them are only partially visible. Th...

well, yeah, behaviors are another level of abstraction. I looked into the link you gave. I will make some testing with this. What I did not first understand is your code snippet: create field set the name of the last field to myCounter If this means that myCounter contains this name made by the coun...

MaxV , thank. The Italian site is great for starters. ))) I am already studying this. Well -- it is more a reply to another post I made regarding datagrid and other ways of managing table like data. But the Courier font problem is not addressed. I assume it could be called a bug? I must register to ...

I am wondering if this is possible and I tried to get it working to some smaller degree. The usual field can be table field with columns and rows and a grid can show their position. Now I would like to enter and manage data as in an Excel spreadsheet - or at least kind of doing this. Trying this and...

Windows 10, 64 bit, Desktop LC 8.1.2 I am trying to create a table (or list) field not using the data grid. Now, I am using a tab delimited list which I want to present in the standard field formatted with a table style. I am calculating the maximal formattedWidth of each column (longest string in e...

Windows 10, 64 bit, Desktop LCS version 8.1.2 I am converting a tab delimited list into a fixed space delimited list using a monospaced font (Courier and Courier New), trying to left- and right align individual columns. The function works as expected. So, I am calculating the max number of each colu...

First of all, thank you for overwhelming replies, for considering a server-side implementation of Livecode from Dixie and the many details and additional thoughts AxWald has been going into. You actually raised a big number of questions and thoughts which do not belong to this thread here. I might o...

My name is Hans from Switzerland and I had a chance to play around with Livecode for some weeks now. I have a technical background and work with professional programmers. They have not been into Livecode yet. I am personally using Windows 10, 64bit and Android. As I seem to understand, most users he...
