Is it possible that you are working on a script but haven't compiled it yet, and then open another script, and when you go back to the first one it won't accept breakpoints because it isn't compiled yet? If you don't know about tabs it would appear that the script is newly opened in its own window....

Hi Craig This will take time to answer, as I said I am so new to this and until I figure whether it is to do with me not doing something in sequence like 'Saving' or 'Applying' the script properly before I run it. To be honest I have probably jumped in a bit early on his one. For instance the Script...

The debugger periodically just does nothing, the breakpoints are grey instead of red and nothing happens. This is in either edit or run mode. The only fix is to re-start Livecode, however bear in mind I am so new and there ma be something else I haven't worked out yet.

That worked ! I can now see how I can create standard validations as well. Yes the order of firing of events and even what they are will be a challenge and in some ways the simplistic commands are a bit hard to grasp, but it's what we do I guess. I was going through the lessons and came across one o...

Sorry that first quote should have been
on keyDown
etc

Not on Mousedown

No, I have tried to use toUpper() like this on mousedown toUpper(me) end mousedown But that doesn't work. I did get a semblance of something working to a point with the code below, however that just echo's a double up. Type a and you get Aa on keyDown pKey put toUpper(pKey) into the selection if (sM...

Yeah, well I try to avoid finding fault with a new environment. Ask any experienced Visual Foxpro Developer. It is/was the fastest RAD system ever invented. The MVP's there were at the leading edge of everything; inheritance, intellisense, data manipulation, you name it. Even that little thing the E...

A BIG thank you all for your help. (1) Yes the incremental search now works a treat by changing the lines to items (2) The debugger ? All I have to do is to switch the debugger on before I load any stacks or start work and I will always leave it on. My mistake was assuming it could be switched on at...

Debug again, yes I can right click on a breakpoint and choose enable (or indeed enter a condition). However Choosing Enable does not turn debug on or enable the breakpoint. Breakpoints are greyed out and the menu item Development - Script Debug Mode does not work. I haven't been able to find anythin...

Regarding the illusive debug mode the Development - Script Debug Mode menu item is ignored in both Edit and Run mode. Ctrl - Click placing the breakpoint still results in a grey mark and nothing stops

Ha ha, works now - sort of. If I type two letters in quick succession it flashes the result up twice the first time it flashes and disappears, then the second time shows the result (correctly) Is there a way of avoiding the first refresh ?
Thanks and cheers

No that does nothing either, but thank you for trying to help Perhaps you could help me with something else. I am trying to use the debugger, but it won't switch on and breakpoints are in grey not red and are ignored. Is there a switch somewhere that disables the debugger ? I can find nothing in any...

Thank you, I am really sorry guys but I couldn't make this work. I confess to not understanding the comment by Klaus regarding the extra line, I couldn't see one. Here is the code as I interpreted it. It now does nothing, the character entered does not echo, the field stays blank and nothing happens...
