Re: Editing a notepad file
In just-pre-WWW days, one of my grad projects was called "Chat-O-Matic" (on Sun workstations/X11/Motif/Sockets) - it allowed multiple users in a WW team (in our case, a joint team with members in Pennsylvania, Australia, and Germany SW Eng courses) to chat in one window and edit a spec or requiremen...

Re: Shell - continuous output?
Trenatos,
Just a thought, does opening the process for text or binary update affect the ability to get a Ctrl-C? And did you try close process instead?

Re: Color Name
I did this very cumbersome process. It basically sets the color of a 20x20 graphic object (graphic "grcRect"), takes a 20x20 snapshot, and then gets the color values from the bytes of the image data of the snapshot at an arbitrary pixel - in this case the 51st out of 400. I couldn't find an easier w...

Re: revRotatePoly Pilot Error?
This solution worked:
Code: Select all
on idRotate pParms
local tObjectName, tRotation
put the long ID of grc item 1 of pParms into tObjectName
put item 2 of pParms into tRotation
revRotatePoly tObjectName, tRotation
end idRotate

Re: Freezing Repeating Loop Not Tied to Button
newpie, If it's the "answer here" line, it executes immediately after the send command posts the new message, not AFTER the 10 seconds. "Send" does not block. And like SparkOut says, you don't need the repeat. What's happening is that repeat is just spinning like mad (without a stop, as quailcreek s...

Re: Using non blocking wait
What is the difference between "setUpdateStatusRunning" and "setUpdateIsRunning"? You gave the code for the former but not the latter. Typo?

Re: Toggling Browse and Edit tool issue
Thanks Richard. This was just an experiment based on the earlier thread - I was trying to emulate an 80 char display for, eventually, all keyboard actions, as an exercise, not fpr a product. Hmm, maybe vi, DCL, or Gold Key in Livecode.....

Re: Creating an Alarm Clock
Hi Nilsh. Build the Hello World app in the Tutorials section - http://lessons.runrev.com/m/2571/l/23274-hello-world-3-ways. That should get you exploring buttons and fields and give you a starting stack. Look through some of the other tutorials to get a feel for the scripting language, and read the ...

Toggling Browse and Edit tool issue
I built a stack ( id80CharDisplay.zip ) to try to emulate an old 80 character display (from reading this issue http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24107). The issue is the flashing cursor. When the stack is opened and you click on the line you get the flashing square insertion point. But ...

Re: the loc of ??? "tools palette"
Erik, check this thread, and the attached stack I made a while ago, that shows where in infinite space every stack window is. I sometimes get the Dictionary started up at like -9000, -9000 sometimes, which is why I made it in the first place. http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5808&p=433...

Re: Call, Send, Dispatch message source object
Thanks, you are right. I was trying it out in an existing set of stacks which was overcomplicating my logging. I made a test set of two stacks with just the calling code and saw that I was wrong, and it did get the entire context.
