Re: LiveCode and HyperStudio

In the few apps that used them, tear-off menus were custom code in an MDEF resource (Menu Definition). The OS Toolbox generally only provided direct support for GUI elements recommended in the HIG. There was a old MacTech issue with a tutorial on how to code one. I ran that exercise through ThinkC b...

Re: this is simple and it should work

Works here in 9.6.10.

If staying with such an old version for performance reasons, maybe we can more easily optimize those core routines than to find workarounds for nearly two decades of bug fixes.

I wonder if anyone could be so kind as to tell me where inside the LC MacOS bundle I can find the code to detect the systemVersion.
I'd guess you'd be looking for the compiled object code engine, as The system version is obtained thru a call to an OS API.

Probably better to review the source.

Done.

Re: Offering Development from Ukraine

This is a great idea. May I suggest creating a thread with such offerings in the Developer Marketplace forum? We don't get much traffic here, but those coming in may look there first for developer assistance.

Re: LiveCode and HyperStudio

IIRC HyperStudio's web export relied on a browser plug-in, a delivery method no longer available in the product. Browser plug-ins were impractical even as late as LC's browser plug-in experiment many years ago, which is why LC's plug-in was EOL'd within about 24 months of launch. HyperStudio Author ...

Re: Convert seconds back to date form

Seconds or InternetTime are the two formats especially useful if you need to support teams in different time zones, as they are based off of GMT and can be converted to local time easily.

Does it help if you set the showConsoleWindows global property to false on startup?

Richard.

The OP mentioned early on that the two stacks were named "Thekey" and "hold2".
Then we'll need a screen shot to see what's really happening.

We've all seen the duplicate stack name dialog, but in more than 20 years I've never seen it when there was no duplicate stack name.

Re: Stack allready in memory

I'm encountering an issue when transitioning from one stack to another. A message keeps popping up, indicating that the second stack is already in memory. Despite closing and removing both stacks from memory, restarting the process doesn't resolve the problem. These are two distinct stacks, and non...
