Hi all, I am in the proces of developing an app where many datagrids are used to present data from a sql database. In the developing proces I often like to delete a datagrid and start over again with a new one. This works much nicer then to work the whole datagrid around all the time. But deleting a...

Yesterday I had same problem. Worked all day on a stack, saved it many times, but when I quit LiveCode, the substack I had been working on did not close. So I had to force close it. I fortunately had a backup, which I could continue with, only 4 hours work loss. But what I would like to have is a in...

NO, I tried to open it from within LiveCode. Later I tried to open it by double clicking, which of course also did not work. But now the whole file is gone. So I think it has somethoing to do with Linux. It often happend that LiveCode suddenly stops, the same with Firefox. I think that there is a ca...

I made an app in Livecode in Linux.
It is still there with the extension .livecode
But the logo shows that its a font file.
When I want to open it Livecode does not recognise it anymore.
Does someone knows how to make it a Livecode file again?

Thanks

I have set up a nice working app. where I use quite a lot of datagrids as lists. From these datagrids the user can select a record by clicking on it and then gets a screen with all details about that record. If I set the clicking on 1 click (on mouseUp), I get a problem with the scrollbar. Everytime...

I have a question regarding closing or hiding a stack When clicking in a field, a stack (called ClickLists) is openend. On every card of that stack is a datagrid with items the user can click on. Clicking on a line of the list puts that choice into the field, from where the stack was openend. After ...

I am retrieving data from a database into LC fields In one field there is not always a value, so that field remains empty. The database does that perfect. How can I determine if this field has been filled with a string or has remained empty? Coming from the Filemaker environment, where it is a simpl...

I replaced the datagrid which was not working anymore with one from a backup. Now the datagrid is working fine again, but the messagebox still appears when I load the stack with the card where the datagrid is on. The old datagrid I could not delete, when I tried to delete it by pressing deletebutton...

When I start up my application I get the following message in the Mesaage Box 89,8823,1 77,8823,1 449,8823,9 535,8823,1 253,8823,1 241,8801,1,_DrawAlternatingRows 353,0,0,button id 1005 of group id 1004 of card id 1002 of stack "C:/Program Files (x86)/RunRev/LiveCode 7.0.1 (rc 2)/Toolset/revdatagrid...

I have the following script: on mouseUp open stack "ATT" go to cd 1 show stack "ATT" set the backdrop to "white" set the width of stack "ATT" to 959 set the height of stack "ATT" to 824 end mouseUp The backdrop is giving only black, any color I use does not work. Even in this script it is defined as...

Thanks, I already found my problem in this setup. I used the lineoffset in a field with tabs, like records, and therfore did not work. I also found that in the lineOffset function, the lineToFind must be an expression, and I want to use a variable there, which is therefore also not working. So how d...

I want to retrieve some lines from a field so I made a button saying: on mouseUp lineOffset ("zen", field "CompanyFindTotal") end mouseUp where "zen" is a string in one of the lines of the field "CompanyFindTotal" This is totally in accord with the dictionary, from where I copied this yet I get the ...

After some time out of LC, I wanted to do some research into connecting to a SQLite database, but are confronted with problems. Can someone tell me why I get an integer problem with the following script? The answer I get is " "tConID is not an integer: Problem creating or accessing database!" on mou...

In lesson 11, I have scripted navigation arrow buttons to go to next and previous cards. This is done with visual effect, very simple. But if I click on the next or previous button after I clicked on previous or next button, the effect does not reverse. So if I clicked the previous button, I had a v...

I have an second screen connected to my PC. If I have the application browser or the project browser opened on screen nr. 2, then when I open LC a next time without screen nr. 2 the application browser or project browser don't show up if you want them. They seem to remain on screen nr. 2. How can I ...
