Re: Create new object by code

I like to put things back the way I found them - it cuts down on surprises from the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Re: Data Grid search box (long detailed explination)

Well... ok. In that case, as you surmised, you'll need one more line in the rawKeyUp handler on rawkeyup put fld "search" into tsearch put the dgText of group "DataGrid" into thecopy filter thecopy with "*" & tsearch & "*" -- taking a shortcut here to set the data back into the datagrid set the dgTe...

Re: Data Grid search box (long detailed explination)

Oh wait - you want the filtered result to go into the same datagrid the original source text came from?

Re: database connect question

Well, without knowing a thing about this (why should that stop me?), my guess is that even in a post-Steve Jobs world you won't find iOS cuddling up with anything as Microsofty as ODBC. And I don't know of any way to get to SQLServer without ODBC. I haven't been following the iOS stuff here, so some...

Re: Data Grid search box (long detailed explination)

First off, welcome to the LiveCode community. I don't have the stack you're referring to, so I'll have to make some guesses here. Caveat: this is untested - make backups and trust no one. A. If you've gotten this far along I'd hesitate to place you in beginner status. The datagrid is probably the mo...

Re: get files of a folder on the web

That seems like the correct behavior. If I test the url in your stack it returns empty. Put "http://www.alternatic.ch/jmb/DesImages/filelisting.php" into a browser and there's nothing returned. I don't get a "not found" error, so the php code is executing on the server. OTOH I get file permissions t...

Re: LiveCode 5: Trial Download

Malte - I think Stephen Barncard figured out the embedded audio- and video-clips thing. I don't know what the magic handshake is, but you might ping him about it - I wasn't able to get anywhere with that myself, although I got the scripts and properties thing worked out to the point of being able to...

Re: LiveCode 5: Trial Download

Does VS have a git plugin now? The last time I used it I had to step outside the IDE and use git from a command line. Good to know.

Game source code available

Heads up - for the next week Introversion has a special bundle deal going - you can get all their games *with cross-platform source code* if you donate more than the minimum $3.71, apportioned to the charities of your choice. It's not LiveCode source code, but there are lots of gems to pore through ...

Re: database connect question

Dave- As mentioned in this and some other threads, I wouldn't do it that way. Do you have control over the server end of things as well? If so, I'd put the database access code on the server and have an interface to the web-facing stuff that you could talk to in order to manipulate the database. I w...

Re: OS X File Association Quirks

Hey Mick- welcome back. Yeah - it's been a while. Note that the way files are associated with executable programs is also OS-version-dependent. It has changed over time with various releases of OSX and may change in the future as well. If it helps any (I'm sure it doesn't) file associations don't wo...

Re: finding files

Barry- nice to see you're still looking in on things here. I think Android support is about 40% there right now - not exactly ready for prime time. There's been quite a bit of discussion over the last couple of weeks about what's not there. Socket support is the big missing item for me at the moment...

Re: finding files

I posted this to the list the other day, but I think Jack Palevich's Terminal Emulator is the Best Android App Ever. If you know your way around a command line, this should solve all your "where's that file" issues. Oh - and it's free. As in beer. http://www.androlib.com/android.application.jackpal-...
