Re: Appointment and Patient Tracker

I got in trouble a while ago assuming that a bot had written a post here.

@Steve. Hi?

Re: customKeys and recalling the data in a key

I also cannot get the alternate form to give anything but empty. That alternate form is given as an example , but not listed in the property syntax, which is simply
put the customKeys of me into fld "TextField"

Re: Filter mobile control input

Bernd.

If Trevix is only interested in being able to trap a message and call a handler, I would say your suggestion is valid. But his original post seems to indicate that the parameter "pKeyName" is required for each separate filter operation to work properly.

I could be wrong.

Trevix?

Re: Filter mobile control input

Trevix. I do not work in mobile. But is the issue that the "keyDown" message deals with the very character that invoked it, but the "inputTextChanged" message fires only with when the entire contents of a control changes, and does not specifically "know" which char was the culprit? If so, at least I...

Re: How to get screen size and resolution

Richmond.

But it was never actually screen "size" that was in play. It was resolution, and I suppose if you were porting to an 85" TV at 800x600 each pixel would be about the size of a pignoli. No problem, just view the screen from 20 meters.

My bad, I should have seen that was not your first post.

Re: How to get screen size and resolution

Richmond.

13 years or not, I think the OP actually wanted what Mark suggested. After all, the physical dimensions of one's screen can only be found with a ruler, or by reading the manual that comes with the device, and that likely does not mean anything.

Re: Livecode Standard Plan

Jacque. I know you can edit scripts, so presumably you can write your own. OK, so Create does all the control dragging and laying out, and then we can tweak that. Then it writes a lot of code based on some description of functionality we feed it. And then we can edit that code. OK, that seems in pri...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan

Jacque, Richard. So is my contention that a "classic" workspace is necessary if one wants to build whatever one wants, however clever the "Create" paradigm becomes? Do either or both of you know, or believe, that a classic-free (Create-only) environment can do that kind of work? Perhaps I am misunde...

Re: File modification date unreliable in standalone (files() function)

I agree. A standalone is just (oversimply) the engine bundled with a stack. There have been questions of this sort raised before, and the issue was never that something in the way a stack works in the IDE and the way it works as a standalone was the culprit. As Emily suggested, can you show us what ...
