Re: Web deployment helper tool

@SWEdeAndy: Thank you for posting your WebDeployHelperTest program to the web. It has a lot of great features. Using Safari the program crashes occasionally with this message: Exception thrown, see JavaScript console I see this error with my programs, too. Example: https://morrevbon.com/WordHelper/W...

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.
I wasn't aware there was another: Date Picker.

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...

Mark: I use DP-6 to generate the files which I left unabridged. I cleared my browser cache. I uploaded the new version (DP-6) to my web server. I looked at the website on my Mac and the app appears and functions normally. Hurrah! Clearly they're something in my custom html that causes it to fail. Ho...

Dear LiveCode: I have developed a number of apps for the web. The latest is a simple app to display the "Feels Like" temperature (heat index). After installing the latest version (DP-6) the "Feels Like" app displays the spinner and the "Downloading..." message. It never completes the download. It ha...
