I haven't seen or found any inquiries about a problem I sometimes experience with the size and position pane of the Property Inspector. I guessing I am not the only one to encounter it. A click on the up or down arrows to increase or decrease one of the rects will trigger an automatic process in whi...

Thanks, Klaus, for your reply. I made the change in the code and it worked. The second thing I learned is when using the LC dictionary to notice for which platform the message is intended. Sometimes there is no clue in the body of the entry. The reader has to look at the first line of the book entry...

This post describes my problem. I want to launch the main stack of my desktop application using a standalone named "launcher" as a splash screen. I am using the method prescribed in an online LC lesson . My standalone just has a player object and the following stack script: on openstack set the file...

Thank you for your helpful response. Regarding Stack Files tab I checked the manual and the forum, but overlooked the dictionary.

Regarding a splash screen I will give the method of the lesson to which you pointed a try and report the outcome.

It may be there in the LC8 manual or the forum, but I could not find an explanation of the Stack Files tab of the Property Inspector of stacks, nor could I find it on the forum. If it is available, all I need is a page number or a link. I want to know because I have having difficulty creating a spla...

I have a MySQL database running on a a server connected to a LAN at work. I access it and manage it with a front end application written in LiveCode. I want to synchronize the database with a duplicate database I created on the hosting service LiveCodeHosting aka jasmine.on-rev.com. The LAN database...

To Klaus Thank you for your reply. I executed your suggested script and the text "OK" was printed in the field "test." I am running LC 8.1.1. on a WIndows 10 platform. The funny thing is, I ran the same program on my office computer, which runs WIndows 7, and to my surprise the correct htmltext was ...

Thank you for your replies. Here is the unstated code that follows the code stated above. put the htmltext of fld 1 into URL ("file:"&gPath&"guides"&"/"&tTopic&".txt") Don't yet know where the change occurs. Since I click "OK" to dismiss the Ask dialog box, maybe the "OK" originates there. Will keep...

I am trying to create linked text and set the linktext of the linked text of a locked field with the following code. Let's say the field just contains the word "instructions." and I selected it with the mouse: on mouseup put the selectedchunk into tLink ask question "Enter URL:" put it into tURL set...

Thanks, SparkOut, for your response. When I check the contents of tQuery, I get (see image at bottom): capture1.PNG So, it looks as though the tSubject variable was populated correctly, but, as you suggest, the selectedtext has an invisible something extra. Following your suggestion, I modified the ...

Thanks, Bangkok, for your response. I already tried the Answer test, and both tSubject & tInfo still return empty. When I omit the WHERE clause, yes, the contents of the entire cleDetails table populates the tInfo variable, so the problem obviously lies in "WHERE subject = '"&tSubject&"'. I think I ...

Hello For some reason the following code, which appears correct to my newbie brain, does not work. The mouseup handler belongs to a locked text field with list behavior. There is a connection to the SQLite database that has the table "cleDetails" and the variable tSubject is correctly populated with...

Thank you, bangkok and AxWald, for your replies. The tID variable was populated earlier in the same handler, so I assume that it need not be put in the loop. The problem seems be with the use of quotes around the field name. Removing both enclosing single and double quotes around the tField[x] array...

Hello My problem is similar to the original problem in this thread http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10022&p=178062#p178062, so I posted a reply there, but the thread didn't appear at the top of the forum, so I am reposting here. Rather than a datagrid, I am having no success in updatin...

Checked my LiveCode products page at LiveCode.com and I don't see an option to download any version of LC Server earlier than 7. If the settings won't work unless the version is earlier than 7, how can it be gotten? Indeed, I followed the instructions with my version 9 of LC Server and it does not w...
