Updated Chart Maker stack at the top of the thread again, now with 15 charts. Also updated Pie Slice, enabled multi-snapshots, simplified deleting charts. Fun for all ages. Terry

Hi emir. Include a substack named "Data Grid Templates Decoy" (exact spelling) as part of the Splash stack. This will force the auto inclusions routine to include the datagrid library in the standalone build. LC v8+ now includes the datagrid library in the manual inclusions option also. From LiveCod...

Thanks again Jacque. Yes, working stack was firing the preOpenStack handler. Edited and updated code and attachment. Terry

Thanks Jacque. I tried start using with a launcher splash that stays open. That was the trick. Closing a splash and then adding it to the stacksInUse re-opens the thing. Here's my take on a launcher splash that stays open, contains the save routines, and is in the msg pathway of the working stack. T...

Thanks to Dunbarx and Bogs for examples of an uncompiled Splash stack and Working stack on another thread. I've been experimenting with improvements. I was hoping to use an on startup handler but I couldn't get it to work. I was surprised that the Splash.exe is not in the message pathway of the Work...

Dunbarx: Could you please post an example of an uncompiled splash stack and its simple working stack in v6 format. As I understand it, there are several variations of this standalone strategy. Thank you. Terry

I made another stack database with a table field that looks similar to a datagrid table using BN's brilliant alternating colored lines routine. It could have other applications. Also with subtractive search, easy setup & data entry, sorting, three reports to PDF. Terry

Hi gagsoft. Here are links to a LiveCode lessons stack (Beginner Lab) that includes an example of a simple stack database (Rolodex). Maybe it will give you some ideas for your project.

Hi Vascoribeiro. LC would make a fun project, but don't underestimate the lowly spreadsheet. I put this together in under an hour. Maybe it will help. Terry

I have an LC programming tutorial stack updated for v8.1.1. The Educational Outreach section of the forum is currently trying to organize and package LiveCode to meet established US curriculum standards. They have yet to create a repository for content submission and review. Any suggestions how to d...

Hi MaxV. Nice LC 8+ Dictionary alternative, though not a replacement. I've made some modifications to MaxDictionary. Please check your Private Messages. (click user control panel at top of forum while logged on) Terry

Hi AlphBase. Sorry, no report builder in LC. You have to write your own custom solution. Here's a 1-card printing stack taken from a LiveCode tutorial I wrote. It includes demo code for printing reports, text, fields, and cards. Maybe it'll help. The complete tutorial is at the web address below. A ...

Thanks for testing Craig. Yes, I thought the routine worked in LC 6.7.9 - Win7 too...but not 6.7.11. As mentioned previously, the script editor compiles, but when run the script editor re-opens indicating an error at the "print to pdf" line. Because 6.7.x & 7x series are no longer updated, I'll just...

(LC 6.7.11, Win 7) Hi LiveCode experts. I was printing to pdf using code that used to work when I received an unexpected error: execution error at line n/a (printing: Unknown destination). The script editor indicated the "open printing to pdf" line of code as the problem. Is that like Final Destinat...

Filter would be another fast method, especially to display the lines that contained the search string, but it wouldn't accurately count occurrences if the search string appeared more than once/line. For that first filter then use the offset() routine to count occurrences with the smaller subset of l...
