Re: CRUD SQLite example

Yes. It's me! These days, I only have one application that still uses LiveCode. It's a web scraping application that I developed for my personal use. Also, I have become fairly proficient with two other development platforms. Above all, I always on the lookout for new technologies that will give me ...

Re: LiveCloud.io Cloud DB (Questions)

Mark: Great answer on question 3: Header/Detail Options. I'm very excited about the scalability of the NoSQL model. And especially the built in user authentication. Suddenly this opens up a new world of possibilities. More query range support could be added. 8- Exactly what field types are supported...

Re: LiveCloud.io Bundle Offer (Questions)

3- Since CanelaDB is a NoSQL DB (as opposed to traditional relational database), generally speaking, what would be the difference when accessing records with a typical Header/Detail relationship? 4- I see there is extensive support for defining keys. When doing a Query (read) from the online CanelaD...

LiveCloud.io Cloud DB (Questions)

I have a few questions. I just received an almost unbelievable (email) from "The Livecode Team". Point and click to create your database and to automatically generate the LiveCode scripts you need. How much additional work will be required to get this generated code to populate a table?? (An example...

Re: Script Editor / Debugger Problem

Yes!

Thanks guys! That was it! In all my years using LiveCode, I've never had the occasion to use the Script Debug Mode switch. Flipped that switch. Now everything is back to normal.

I always say, "The tech support forums for LiveCode are the best I've ever seen."

Re: Script Editor / Debugger Problem

Good point! Those buttons I'm looking for only appear when the code breaks. The REALLY odd thing is the code never breaks. You'll notice in my screen capture, there are two places where the code should break. 1- There's a outline of a red dot on the beep command. 2- and there's an outright breakpoi...

Re: Script Editor / Debugger Problem

Another clue. To get around this problem, I decided to start this project in version 8.1.6, which I have spent 100+ hours in. And... there I had the same problem. So it's not a 9.0 bug, but rather something in my Windows 10 environment. I run Kaspersky all the time. I tried turning if off. That did...

Script Editor / Debugger Problem [solved]

It's been a while. But I've kept my license current. So now I go and download the new version 9.0.1 All is well. But when I look at the Script Editor / Debugger it's different. The last time I used LiveCode, there was buttons for Step, Step Over and Stop. They're no longer there. Plus, this simple c...

Both Groups have an identical Field: "Notes". I can populate each of the Fields with this code. put "hello" into fld "dN...

Re: Quick XML Project: (solved)

Good morning! Thank you Klaus! Oh!! I didn't realize that HTML <> XML! No wonder ever time I tried to "learn" how to do this, it ended up being a waste of time. So... I have done MANY web page scraping routines before. This is well within my skill set. But thanks to Klaus, at least I won't feel guil...

Quick XML Project: (solved)

It's been a while since I've done any coding, and now I've got a little project I need some help with. Basically I want to read a table off a web page and populate a Data Grid. In the past I've done this with a LOT of string manipulation, but I think the right way is by using the LiveCode's XML capa...

You are trying to do some sort of Inter Application Communication. LC can not do this natively without using either shell, AppleScript or some Windows equivalent. Thanks Bernd.

Re: Paste Text into Browser [accepting bids for solution]

Is the project getting to paste text from the clipboard into a field in a browser, where the clipboard text was captured by LiveCode? And you will manually click a button in LiveCode to start a timer and during the timing period of 5 seconds, you will manually move the mouse and select a field in t...

Re: Paste Text into Browser [accepting bids for solution]

Hey Richard! Thanks for the link. This would be a lot easier if I were working with LiveCode's built in revBrowser, but I'm looking to integrate this with an external browser. No need to worry about submitting a form. This is just a small part of a larger project... but this one particular problem h...
