Re: how to print a line (row) of a dg table

CAsba: I recommend a report. It is much easier and highly flexible. The only downside is that you need to write a simple template file (html). Here is a sample: sample.jpg The button "Print Line" will print a report of the items on the line in your web browser. Sample Report.jpg The LiveCode program...

Re: A combobox alternative

Stam:
My compliments on your comboBox. It is quite handy.
It is almost 1000 lines of code which I don't have to figure out on my own.
Thanks,

Ah! Now I understand. I was testing on MacOS.
Glad you found a workaround.

Re: Weird can't redraw chart problem - solved

When one puts data into the lineChart widget's Property Inspector the chart is automatically updated.
This happens when one enters the data by hand or by script.
I guess that I don't understand the case presented by the Original Poster (OP).

Re: Where did the Quick Search button in the Script Editor Go?

Mine is:
~/Library/Preferences/RunRev/livecode7.rev
Why does show "LiveCode7" of all things?

Re: getting filenames

Me too. I've never known about metadata before. A great feature of LiveCode.
Where is it stored? Is it like a global variable?

This discussion prompted me to put together a stack of simple commands.
The comment by mrcoollian was the basis of this stack. I just expanded the list.
Where do I find the "systeminfo.exe" app?

Re: Date Picker localisation

Yes, I used the Calendar widget.

Re: Date Picker localisation

The monthNames used in the Calendar widget's header can be changed in the Property Inspector. They are 3 character name by default but can be changed in the PI. That worked. I tried to access the monthNames of the widget by script (as described in the dictionary) but that didn't work. I tried to acc...

Re: A Game Board Maker Utility

Mike: I really like your Gameboard utility. It is a nice, simple stack; very clean. I understand if you want to move on to other projects but if you decide to go back to this I have a suggestion: an option to create 9 x 9 game boards for Sudoku games. I created a similar script (not as refined as yo...

Message Watch in 10 DP 6

I just noticed that the messageWatcher in LiveCode 10 DP 6 floods the screen with mouseMove messages. On the "Suppress..." screen the " moveMove " message is included in the list. It is the default to exclude it. Under 9.6.10 the mouseMove message is properly excluded. This is a bug in LiveCode 10 D...
