Hello from the above code I want to increase the value of a field by the increment of a little arrow but when I click on the little arrow nothing happens.

What should I do?

Hello please cann anyone help. Elanor cann you help?

Hi ecann,

please show a bit more patience!

This is not a supermarket but a forum, means everyone is a volunteer here.
So if someone knows the answer AND has the time, he/she will respond!

P.S.
Since if definitively not a specific "Livecode Commercial" question, I will move this thread to the Beginners section.

OK, I had a little time...

"Little arrows" work different than a scrollbar or slider, so you need to do soemthing like this: Replace the values with the ones you need!

Hello is this not a Commercial Forum, what did Livecode promise us when we buy the Indy version they promised there there will be a technical support. So I deserve to be answered by their engineering team.

Aiblins.

But, surely, the "engineering team" would communicate directly with Indy customers (so that us 'bottom feeders' using the
Community version wouldn't get the crumbs falling from the table ) via some sort of dedicated channel rather than an open forum?

Why do I feel that "engineering team" is somehow wrong in this context?

Yes that WAS the "Commercial" forum, but also in THAT forum we are all volunteers!

The forum is sponsored by LC but run almost completely by LC USERS voluntarily if I didn't mention this already.
If you want to take LC into duty, write a mail to: suppport@livecode.com
THAT is what LC means by:

"Little arrows" work different than a scrollbar or slider, so you need to do soemthing like this:

Code: Select all

on scrollbarLineInc
   if fld "entriesValueInventory" > 1 then
      ## We cannot go lower than 1
      subtract 1 from fld "entriesValueInventory"
   end if
end scrollbarLineInc

on scrollbarLineDec
   if fld "entriesValueInventory" < 10 then
      ## We cannot go higher than 10
      add 1 to fld "entriesValueInventory"
   end if
end scrollbarLineDec

Replace the values with the ones you need!

I had dragged a fresh "Little Arrows" icon from the TOOL palette onto a new card, added the script and a field to my test card and it worked as advertized!?

See attached test stack...

Thank you soo much for the help. I am grateful.

Hi everyone

I just wanted to point to a clarification post from Heather or the level of support provided in the Commercial forum.

https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=33522

Kind regards

Hi everyone

It would be great, Elanor, if you could copy that message anent level of support across here, so that those of us who do not
currently have commercial licences could be aware of the advantages.
