Trevor,

I should have thought to a simple "return". Thanks!

That's said I'm not sure the syntax for defining property options: is not confusing. It confused me.

If I'm following the "format" documentation about casting a numeric as a string public handler myHandler() variable tNum as Number variable tNumString as String put 5 into tNum format tNum as string put the result into tNumString log tNumString end handler The result is not 5 but 5.000000 even if th...

I'm trying to play with dates in LCB.

For getting the numeric day of the week we have the need of an equivalent to the "convert to dateItems" of LiveCode or a way to get the numeric day.

The local date returned by LCB is a list of 6 elements against 7 for LC. The 7th is the numeric day I need.

The com.livecode.date library seems actually very limited. For getting the list of the weekdayNames, I have tried: private handler getWeekDaysName() as List variable tStringList as String variable tDayNamesList as List execute script "get the system weekdayNames" put the result into tStringList spli...

How to use optional parameters in a handler / function ? For example I want an addRectangle handler accepting 2 parameters and 2 optional parameters: I tried: private handler addRectangle(in pRectangle as Rectangle, in pColor as Color, in optional pBorderWidth as Integer = 0, in optional pBorderColo...

@LCMark

Sounds great, thanks.

Btw, any chance to have the "text path" implemented?

I've tried to clip a text in a rectangle and I would have expected the text would have wrapped inside the rectangle. I do not seen a command for creating a text behaving like the svg "textarea" element. Maybe I missed something in the documentation. If not, is there any plan to support this behavior...

@trevordevore setting the fill rule to "non zero" should have do the trick but in your case I don't understand why applying this rule has no effect. According to the SVG documentation the rule is applied for shapes drawn from left towards right. By the way there is a mistake in the documentation. Th...

@ livecodeali Thanks! Hi Zyrip, metadata <property>.editor is "com.livecode.pi.enum" metadata <property>.options is "execute:get the fontnames; sort it" I was not aware of the execute thing, very useful. Widgets do have a textFont property, but it didn't make it into the property definition file for...

Do we have a list of possible metadata editors?

I've seen so far:
- com.livecode.pi.color
- com.livecode.pi.enum
- com.livecode.pi.text

Do we have something for the available fonts?

I've tried: com.livecode.pi.font with no chance.

Hi Gagsoft, The reason I've asked your LiveCode version is the issue has been reported by 2 DGH users at the beginning of the year, and this was because of a bug introduced by LC 7.0 (in the load url command when using a callback message). The bug has been reported to LiveCode and should be now fixe...

Hi Gagsoft,

What is your LC version?

This is maybe linked to this bug reported and fixed for version 7.0

The issue seems to be relative in the dragImage property is no longer accepting ids upper than 65535.

Tom,

Thanks for the report. I stopped my tests of DGH with LC 7.0 dp 6 and all appeared to be ok. Will investigate with LC 7.0 RC1


Best Regards,

Ok, thanks for the infos.
