Hi Stam,

3. Use a 2nd field that overlaps with the main field (ie move from a single control to a group).

That sounds like a good idea to me.

Kind regards

Hi Stam, Thanks for putting the new version up on GitHub. Your interface requirements are somewhat special and I have apparently a hard time getting my head around them. However I tested your latest version and still find it needs some additions for the way I would like to use the "Field". I changed...

if the field text is changed in script is it possible to react automatically to this? (i.e. if the field is showing it's placeholder text and I assign a string to this, how can I get it to trigger an update without firing a second command - in my case exitField - to do this?) If I understand you co...

Hi Richmond, Poking around, as one does, among some LiveCode stacks the other day I came across this: setup if the platform is "win32" then test the fontlanguage of "Aharoni" is "Hebrew" test the fontlanguage of "System" is "ANSI" else -- TODO - test font languages on other platforms test false end ...

Hi Stam,

I also gave this a try, I don't know if it meets all your requirements. The whole thing is a bit tricky...

Kind regards

Alas, further testing does not resolve this minor cosmetic issue (cursor/selection showing until mouse is released) I'm not sure there is a way around this to keep the prompt text showing after entering the field but before the user types, without using a 2nd field/label. On the other hand, using a...

Hi Richmond,

The systemversion works correctly for me on MacOS Monterey.

You may want to file a bug report if this affects MacOS Sonoma.

so there is a gap in LC in the calculation of seconds and how it serves me hundredths of a second. Does anyone see a solution or should I tell my client that at the moment I cannot continue the development of the program he commissioned me? Hi, Mark Waddingham posted a very nifty solution to your p...

Richmond, I attach a zipped text file that worked for me. Replace the one of your Livecode.app. You will see that the previous column "Value" for "BackgroundColor" now has a color triplet. When you create a new field (after restart) it affects the small field. Not the other Field types.(Label etc.) ...

Hi Richmond,

I am currently in a train and have trouble to test my recommendation.

I will try to test it whne I come home tonight. It might well be that I was mistaken with the file I indicated.

Kind regards

I forgot:

TSV is a simple text file with the tabs as separators.

Kind regards

Richmond,

Using a spreadsheet program is probably the easiest way, you would have to save the changes to a "TSV" file.

Kind regards
Bernd

Thank you, Bernd. Is a .tsv file simply a text file or something more complicated? It is a tab separated value file. All values of a line are separated by a tab. Similar to CSV which uses comma. Every tab separated value goes into the respective column, empty values put empty into the respective co...

Hi Richmond, You could try to change the file for the field: com.livecode.interface.classic.Field.tsv /Applications/LiveCode 9.X.X.app/Contents/Tools/Toolset/resources/supporting_files/property_definitions/com.livecode.interface.classic.Field.tsv On a Mac you can open Livecode.app by right clicking ...
