LiveCode Forums.

Thanks. I hope it might help someone else. Actually I think the unusual folder additions are coming from [hh]-widgets-un-installer. I started the download/install on one of the lcb/e files (colorpicker) and a couple of other folders have appeared in My Livecode/Extensions folder. Seems to have hung ...

From the previous, I figured maybe there was some 'oddness' in the LC preferences. Had a look at where it was pointing to the My Livecode/Extensions. Even though I haven't changed it, it was pointed at one of the build folders I had used earlier. So, I reset my preferences. Pointed it to the My Live...

Hi All, Here's an update. I got to thinking about the weird stuff about the My Livecode/Extensions getting multiple /extensions added. No idea why. But, decided to copy the built folder over into the Runrev/Livecode Community 8xx/Extensions. And it worked. Just the hello world example. But it worked...

Hey, Using LC CE 8.2.0-dp-2 Build 14501. On Windows 10. I am trying to figure out how LCB works. Seems like a fantastic idea. But, I just can't get any aspect of it to work. Tried loading some of the community lce's. And kept getting the same problem. I am following the 'guides'. Write or download l...

Thanks. I tried this and the output was the same. Though it does look like something of that kind is happening doesn't it.

cheers

Hi, I have set up a server on my Windows PC (XAMMP) to try and get my head around using livecode-server. I am using LCS 6.1 I decided to use .htaccess in the first instance as I am planning to move to an external solution once I have a better understanding of how this all works. I have put the LCS i...

Hi,

Same for me. I deleted the GLX plugin and it's not been a problem since.

cheers

Hi, It is a card group. I am calling from the mouseUp related to the dragged field. The code for processing the call is in the card. The group name/ID is pulled from the list of groups on the card. I'm not sure how I would call the card routine directly from the mouseUp in the dragged field without ...

Thanks Mark, I am using the "send" command primarily because I haven't experimented with "dispatch" which is the only other way that I know. The nice thing about livecode way seems to be that there are many ways to achieve the same outcome. And, it's not too hard to figure out how they work. Thanks ...

Hi Mark,

Thanks for that.

When I use the target it returns the card ID. I guess this is because the script is executing in the card?

cheers

Brilliant.

Worked like a charm.

I didn't realise you could pass variables like that.

Much more elegant.

Ok, I figured out a way. Isn't that always the way? I have to say I don't like it. So, if someone has a more elegant way I would really love to see it. The problem seems to be that when I pass 'field "thefieldname"' as a parameter it is resolved into the text of that field. If I change my send state...

Hi, in the mouseUp handler of a locked text field I have a call to a card script which reads (in part) send "checkPosition " & the name of group theGroup & "," & the name of me to this card the checkPosition handler is in the card and reads (in part) on checkPosition whichGroup whichObject --adjust ...

hi,

Thanks for that.

I take your point. I have started scripting this without using the Drag Drop stuff. It is going much better

cheers

Hi All, I am trying to find out if a locked text field is within the boundaries of a graphic. I am using drag and drop functionality. If the locked text field is placed slightly outside of the graphic I want to move it so it lies within the graphic. The problem I have is that when I check the locati...
