Re: Set the fullscreenmode of me to "ExactFit" has no effect.

Presumably that's a typo and you mean

Code: Select all

on preOpenStack
  set the fullscreenmode of me to "exactFit"
 end preOpenStack 
with a space between "on/end" and "preOpenStack" - otherwise it looks ok

Re: Setting the defaultfolder on the fly

It won't be ellipsis, but the double dot "go back up one folder level" line in the list of folders returned.

Re: LiveCode Builder Foreign Function Interface for Beginners

You're right, something like that would be amazing. It's something I would dearly love to see, and although there is some information out there, it's hard to find, limited and quite opaque to someone trying to take first explorations. I asked a similar question some time ago, https://forums.livecode...

Re: Key-cmds in Win standalone

Good that you have a working solution. I confess to being somewhat intrigued and have a curiosity to see your test stack to understand what you see and how that matches what I would expect the typical behaviour to be on Windows. Not that there's any urgency or necessity, of course.

Re: Wait statement help with until and or

Well, there is cause to wonder about the test involved in the OP's problem. I put the check "field 1 is not empty" in my snippet, and that works fine. I'm not sure how the OP is trying to obtain tResult. LiveCode is not multithreaded and so the wait (even with messages) may be blocking whatever proc...

Re: Wait statement help with until and or

Naming conventions aside, this isn't that big a deal is it?

Code: Select all

   put the seconds into tTime
   wait until (the seconds - tTime >= 10) or (field 1 is not empty) with messages
   answer "Either you put some content into field 1, or 10 seconds have elapsed

Re: Problem with a REST API Call

First observation is that I think you need httpHeaders not htmlHeaders.
Maybe also CR rather than CRLF to create the headers without whitespace.
If it's not simply fixed that way, I 'd need to delve more deeply than I have opportunity for just now.

Re: Key-cmds in Win standalone

Mmm, you might be using key combinations that have other uses in Windows. https://www.computerhope.com/shortcut.htm this might be helpful as a jumping off point, there are a lot of permutations linked for different situations to check through. I still don't mind helping if I see the stack or a cut d...

Re: Key-cmds in Win standalone

On Windows the screen navigation by keyboard works with the tab key, and LiveCode will move selection from control to control in the order of its layer to the next higher layer - if that next control has traversalOn set to true (and some other criteria like field lockText status). I think you might ...

Re: Stack allready in memory

I will posit a scenario where the OP has the two individually named stacks in the Community Edition v 9.x.x and realised that he cannot password protect them when building a standalone. Then the OP opened the older Rev Studio 4.0 IDE to make the standalone build with password protection, but either ...

Re: Stack allready in memory

Make sure you have given each stack an individual name (not just the filename on disk, ie don't leave the default name in the Property Inspector)
