LiveCode Forums

Thank you for chiming in, Torsten. I really like that Ii can be creative with Livecode on all platforms and devices and don't have to implement functions in different languages just to be able to use them in multiple usage scenarios. ^ this! That's my attraction. LC covers as many platforms as JavaS...

Any suggestions now on how to build or check the quality of the ICNS file? IIRC double-clicking the ICNS file in the Finder will open it in Preview with each of the sizes selectable. If corrupted, it should be evident quickly there. May also be good to double-check the plist file to make sure it wa...

Presumably that means that LiveCode cannot export HTML. Yes. HtmlText serves a very different goal from HTML. In fact, there was a time when the team was considering changing the name of the property to something like "xmlText", to better clarify its unique role within LC, and that it's HTML-like b...

1. HtmlText is not HTML. Very different goals for each. HtmlText exists solely to provide a text representation of a all field contents with complete fidelity needed to reproduce them in another LiveCode field. Attempting to view htmlText in a web browser expecting HTML will sometimes produce someth...

The script property itself is plain text. So if you want to store an htmltext copy you'll have to work out how to keep them in sync. Htmltext does include the backgroundColor where set; indeed, htmltext was designed to reproduce everything in styled text with complete fidelity. I won't be able to kn...

You could make a plug-in that loads a frontscript which responds to a keystroke of your choice.

Clearly option #2 is our path forward.

...or any other language that follows the C calling convention.

You can do that in LiveCode, with LC Builder:

Unfortunately the MATE developers choose to ignore the suggestion to change window ordering. I'm hoping to grab someone's attention in a month or so and see if I can unravel the mystery.

Fisticuffs at SCaLE? Cool.

Try copying the app to another folder.

I know, crazy, but sometimes that's enough to tickler the Finder so it looks into the bundle and reads the plist.

Are my posts not visible here?

Is this like asking "Are you asleep?"

Not quite. Subsequent posts seem unlikely to have been written while asleep.

No, you helped me a lot!

Thanks, BigGameOver. I've lost count of the number of times I've posted a solution here and the conversation keeps going like no one saw it. Glad this one helped.

Inclusions-related confusion comes up often enough that it would seem to merit immediate attention. Does anyone here have the ID number of relevant bug reports on this handy?

See the field script in the attached example. on mouseDown -- Get clicked line: put word 2 of the clickLine into tLine -- Get clicked column: put the clickH into tH put 0 into tCell repeat for each item tWidth in the tabstops of me if tH < tWidth then exit repeat add 1 to tCell end repeat -- Select ...
