LiveCode Forums

Xfce has been the subject of some past discussion here as many of us have found it not usable due to a focus conflict between various elements of the Livecode interface. That's strange, as far as I know everything worked fine for me (or actually still does so on my old machine). I wonder what would...

You cannot always have everything you want. Well okay, that's quite a truism :) . The system is missing fontconfig and a good many others, but it runs Chrome? But fontconfig is there: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x00007f85d3ea9000) - or no? Chrome runs without problems. Redfield, which DE did you ...

The output of ldd [/PATH/TO/LIVECODE/INSTALLER] is this: linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd56967000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f85d3ff8000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f85d3ff3000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0x00007f85d3fc8000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/...

How about downloading, let's say LC 8.1.10, and seeing if that will behave itself: Good idea, will do. why don't you just run LiveCode on Windows? I could indeed install Livecode on Windows in order to do some Livecode programming. However the finished application would then not run on my main syst...

No "stupidity" involved as far as I'm concerned . But yes, the problem is with the installer and also anything else that has to do with Livecode. Neither the installer nor any program built with Livecode are recognized as - well - anything .

Is it possible you downloaded and are attempting to run a 32bit installer on a 64bit machine? That seems impossible but I will check again. Maybe the next diagnostic step would be to run the LC app from the command line with ldd to see if it notes missing dependencies. Will do. Every time I have NO...

There's nothing about EndeavorOS per se that prevents it from running Livecode. Weird :? . It's on a dual-boot system with Win11 - could it have anything to do with that? Try opening a terminal and run: ldd [/PATH/TO/LIVECODE/INSTALLER] Will do at the weekend when I'm back home. You could also try ...

1. Do you have objection to running a Debian derivative? Well yes, in so far as I prefer a rolling release system and I've always felt very comfortable with my Arch systems (Manjaro, Antergos, Reborn, you name them). I could install a VM with Ubuntu or whatever and run Livecode from there. However ...

Can you run a browser on that machine?

A browser? You mean like Chrome or Firefox? Sure - in fact I can run anything on the machine, except for Livecode.

Hi everybody, I have been using Livecode (Community 9-6-3) on an Arch based system -> RebornOS. I have now switched to a different Arch based system, which is EndeavourOS. Here the Livecode installer is not recognized as anything :shock: . No file that has to do with Livecode is recognized as anythi...

What is the he maximum number of lines you can expect? Theoretically open end, but probably up to 30 the most. A regular LC field with tabstops could do that easily, including colored text. :shock: okay. And are the lines then clickable? With the Datagrid I open a Substack when clicking on a line. ...

Hello everybody, I have not yet had the time to go deeper into this, only tried a little here and there. Thank you @stam for the example, very impressive but I get it hard to understand those handlers (e. g. LayoutControl). I did copy the code to my Stack but I get an error because the object graphi...

I'm not familiar at all with Datagrids, this is my first try. So it seems like what I'm aiming at regarding colors is not easily or quickly done, at least for a beginner. Thank you anyway, maybe I'll bring this up again some other time, but for now I give up on this .

Hi everybody,

I have started playing with a Datagrid and am wondering if it is possible to change the font color in one specific column - at all - or even based on a condition? E. g. positive cell values = green font, negative cell values = red font

Thanks
redfield

... but for this specific use case I think the solution needed is just being able to shrink due to the pixel size difference between monitors. Yes that's correct: Is there a common way in Livecode to adjust windows (and their contents) of Desktop apps , according to the screen size? However the kin...
