Hi Cliffale7. You're going to have so much fun. Attached is a stack to help you get started on a path toward your project. Look inside the button and field objects (right Edit Tool arrow to select object, Object > Object Inspector and Object > Object Script). The object inspector, object script, car...

Great fun. The closeField suggestion could handle integer only and re-entering decimal point by applying restrictive formatting with numberFormat, which also auto-rounds. Would this help? Terry on keyDown X --allow only numbers and 1 decimal point, formatted for 2 decimal places if X is a number or ...

Hi Shikha. How did your performance meter / prediction tool turn out? I made one that might give you a few more ideas. Seven criteria scored from 0 to 3 with weight option. Final score converted to a percentage of total score is displayed in a slider with resizing color bars. Everything was "off-the...

A stack player may be useful distributing your stacks to those who don't want to install the LiveCode program, or to help convince them installing and learning to code with LiveCode might actually be fun. Save changes to the stack being played with a closeStackRequest handler placed in its stack scr...

Updated Chart Maker stack at the top of the thread.
Thanks golive for the error catch. Changed the style to "rectangle". No error thrown in 6.7.5. Terry

Free Richard, all free for anyone to use. Terry

Here are nine charts I made as examples for your own project: pie, bar, bar group, line, spatial, spider, thermometer, speedometer, stem & leaf. They demonstrate the use of templates, grouping using create, and points for line graphics. I tried to make them simple and basic. No globals, no custom pr...

Convert to seconds/dateItems and is a date don't work in Windows when calculating with dates < 1/1/1970. This is a Windows issue, not LiveCode. A work-around is to do math directly on the date numbers with approximate result. I have a kludgy past-date function. There must be a better elegant solutio...

I recently tried making my first Android apps with the help of a forum member and the android app lessons http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/2571/l/27385-how-do-i-become-an-android-developer-on-a-pc http://lessons.runrev.com/m/2571/l/27389-how-do-i-become-an-android-developer-on-a-mac While the l...

Dunbarx suggested an exercise trying to convert money to a text string, like on a check, the paper thingy people used to write on to pay for things in ancient times. Money-to-Text conversion isn't so easy. I used the "zen" technique and visualized three elements: 1) work with hundreds, 2) use a func...

You could use the customKeys property, which returns a line list of all custom props for an object. Another simpler solution is to look in each object's properties inspector under custom properties if there are only a few objects in the stack. Terry local AllCustomProps put the short name of this st...

I found another way to format a number with commas and handle decimals. Do any math before comma-izing. Strip with replace command: replace comma with empty in tSubTotal --strip out commas. I can't recall the original code author. LiveCode is a flexible language. Fun stuff. Terry on mouseUp --format...

Hi Linda I have some community stacks you're welcome to look over at http://tlittle72.neocities.org/info.html. They include the newest version of Beginner Lab, a tutorial for LiveCode. Reading other people's code is a great way to learn tricks and solutions to common problems. Both RevOnline (within...

I found a minor revOnline stack problem. In upload mode, the file selector btn "Browse" only lists .rev files, not .livecode too. The script of control 42, btn "Browse", line 3: answer file "select stack to upload" with type "revolution stack|rev|REV" Could be changed to: answer file "Select stack t...

Win7 (32), LC v6.6.2stable, no delete account, no change password, no upload, yes download. Thanks Richard for trying to help solve this long-standing problem with revOnline. RunRev is aware, but they've been "looking into it" for years. Then the web version appeared with no upload capability. They'...
