Re: RELEASE LiveCode 7.0

Please test the open process command.
Something like
open process Cmd for text update
and a command handler with
read from process Cmd until empty

While the handler runs the program blocks (stalled) while in previous versions this was not the case.

Re: RELEASE LiveCode 6.7

Seems something wrong with handling " in text fields (Windows 7) Put a field on a stack Type something like abc def "test" def <backspace> See the result of these actions. Enters do not get 'through', backspace prints some symbol. Something to do with keyboard handling, since pressing ctrl+shift you...

Re: Alternative Syntax options?

I understand the criticism. Most programming language have some common syntax rules that's more compact than LiveCodes like a = b + 1 while LiveCode has this put b + 1 into a But more cumbersome are object properties. LiveCodes syntax does not allow autocomplete features in the IDE because the targe...

Re: Licenses - now Subscription Based??

hmm thats not good... I was under the impression that one couldn't update anymore to new versions but could still develop and release using the old one. Thats the correct way to handle it I think cause that way the subscriber knows he gets something for his money instead of paying to be allowed to r...

A shortcut that seems to be mentioned nowhere...

To completely indent ALL code correctly in the editor just press shift+tab
I couldn't find a menu option for this too... but a really handy shortcut because only tab does not always work correctly for the code below it...

Re: Is IDE Auto-Completion on the roadmap?

Code/auto/tab completion is something that is really missing from LiveCode. The IDE should help the programmer and reduce typos and speed up programming. Every modern IDE has this. Every 'modern' programmer that is trying to use LiveCode is looking for it. I know your language makes some autocomplet...

ClearType

Why does LiveCode disable cleartype when building an application? In the LiveCode IDE cleartype is enabled. But when I run the build application text is not smoothed... How to enable this? Thanks

Re: queryregistry not returning dword values

Succeeded! It was probably some non printable character that queryRegistry returned with some dword reg values. put binaryDecode("I", queryRegistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Test\Dword"), tValue) is working. The result is put into ta and the return value is the number of successfully converted values. Than...

Re: queryregistry not returning dword values

That won't help as it' s an optional output variable, not input.
It will return dword when used. As I said other types are working.

disappointing UI

New to LiveCode... and as iOS deployment is advertised I was disappointed to find out that the controls have a very ugly Motif look by default... Come on runrev, you can do better than that. Hope that this will be fixed freely soon.

Or am I missing something?
