Re: Weird can't redraw chart problem - solved

I don't see a redraw command in the dictionary. I do see three commands that are either inactive or apply only to specific controls like the (deprecated) Browser. There's a "redraw" item in the Glossary portion of the Dictionary window. The Dictionary defaults to showing both language elements and ...

Mine is:
~/Library/Preferences/RunRev/livecode7.rev
Why does show "LiveCode7" of all things?
I believe that's a format specifier, noting the last time the Prefs data stored there underwent significant revision.

Re: Upload file Livecode PHP

@Zax: link76 noted that ftp is not an option for this project.

@link76: what are the symptoms of failure? Any diagnostic info returned from the php script?

Re: Close the stack and don't ask me to save changes...

Something is happening that I don't understand: if you quit , the stack is automatically saved (which doesn't suit me) whereas in the LiveCode-Error-Lookup.rev stack, the modifications are not saved. I tried looking at the scripts for LiveCode-Error-Lookup.rev but couldn't find anything conclusive....

Re: Problems with Drawer Menu

What is very interesting is the claim: Just to add that drawer stacks on OS X are not supported since we moved to Cocoa (in LiveCode 6.7.0). In other words, the "drawer" command will work only with LiveCode versions < 6.7.0 which does not explain why LiveCode cannot do this on Xubuntu 23.10 despite...

Re: I am far too bold

Jacque. But this just popped up all by itself. Why would that style (only bold, all others stuck) set for one second, and then clear? And why would trashing the prefs file make it all better? And why then, when it grudgingly got back to normal, did it change ALL of the fields on ALL of the cards on...

Re: LiveCode and HyperStudio

It seems likely we could actually emulate this in LiveCode (implemented as a test-off palette), but the question is: should we? I wouldn't bother. It would be challenging enough on Windows and Linux, and the global menu bar in macOS would require some clever Builder hooks to get it working. And wit...

Dunno, a google search revealed this, might be the requested one http://preserve.mactech.com/articles/ma ... index.html
Yep, that's the one.

I still remember typing the hex pattern for the accompanying WDEF palette, so grateful I would never do that again. :)

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.
