Dash docset creator for LiveCode

For those that came in late... We are now up to version 3.2 See the bottom of this post for the full version history. I have just uploaded a stack "Make DocSet" to revonline that creates a "LiveCode.docset" for use in the documentation/snippet manager Dash https://kapeli.com/dash Non Mac readers of...

Re: Annoucing a RegEx LC program some may find useful

There are two card scripts. The first uses the function 10 times, the second 14. There is a lot going on. I thought this was an example stack of some regex functions. But no, it is something else. When I did try the first example I was not expecting the video display that I got. I will look at the d...

Re: Annoucing a RegEx LC program some may find useful

OK, so I went through the preopencard handlers for both cards. The scripts grab the screenrects() of the monitor. For my iMac, this returned "0,0,2880,1620" This is correct (well apart from the menubar width) so the scripts had the right starting point. But to be honest after stepping through and se...

Re: Annoucing a RegEx LC program some may find useful

Thanks for the suggestion Bogs. This does work. Unfortunately the reduces the actual text in the fields too making them a tad difficult to read. But I did get to play with trying to resize the stack by dragging from its corner. The resize last about 10 secs before it jumps back to its original size....

Re: Annoucing a RegEx LC program some may find useful

I would love to explore your stack but I cannot keep it within my screen. I have a 5K retina iMac and when I open your stack it is TALLER than the screen! The stack size is some 1900 x 2100 pixels. I open the stack inspector and reduce these values but then I see there is a group which also needs to...

Re: html5 Export Question

Thanks Bidge but only you would know what you want protected and what you don't. As for my confusion of the projects, yes, you are right, I seem to have conflated this discussion with your other thread. Easy to do when you only read the forum digests. My comments were only to clarify what is allowed...

Re: html5 Export Question

Perhaps I am not being clear. There might be a difference between sharing code samples on the forum and the actual specific code you use in your application. As the community license required to use the HTML5 features covers all of the code in you app (whether it is based on your lc3.5 code or not) ...

Re: html5 Export Question

It seems you are using the community version of LC. This means your code is required to be available under the GPL2 license conditions. So any code you have written to protect/unprotect your images will need to be either exposed or available to be exposed. This may not be what you want. Also, HTML5 ...

Re: Show Truncated list of values and NumProgressBar

missing from the max value field...

Code: Select all

on closeField
   set the endvalue of scrollbar "sbCurElement" to me
end closeField
else setting the value here to more than 100 is not reflected in the values of the scroller.

Of course this could be moved to the card script somewhere.

Re: Dictionary rewrite - thoughts, please

Your initial request was to auto show the detail for a single result. This second request is to auto show the first listed of the found results. They really are quite different. While the showing of the detail automatically if there is a single result makes sense. Showing the detail of the first lis...

Re: Data Grid Won't Display Row Template

Klaus is right. A datagrid is not appropriate here. Regardless of how you have laid out your form template, if there is no data to show there is nothing to see. The apparent use you have here is for a single entry form. Much better to simply set this up on a card, group it, and then fill or read it ...

Yes, the community version is free as long as any apps you make available are not closed (user can see or obtain from you the source code.)
