Hokay, so. I'm still not sure what's going on behind the scenes, but this process seems to be working for me. 1) the relevant control (a button probably) should send a custom command message 2) the handler for that message should be on the card. In that handler the dgData property should be set to s...

If there are carriage returns in the variable, the value will have more than one line and a magnifying glass will appear to the right. Arrays are displayed in the clear in the variable pane when debugging, and any returns would format as distinct line breaks. In that sense, you can "see" all the re...

I would appreciate some help understanding the basic instructions on how to use a data grid form. http://lessons.runrev.com/m/datagrid/l/7305-example-creating-a-list-of-people steps in the people example 1) create the form 2) mess around with controls on the row template 3) edit the fillInData messa...

Variable watcher is neat. It saves me what would be a lot of trouble trying to manually print the contents of my variables. However, I've got a problem now where a random carriage return seems to be sneaking into one of the elements of an array. Carriage returns are invisible, so they don't appear i...

I want to use a text file to record all of the steps necessary for a project. The basic format would be a long list of nodes with links to other nodes. Then that text file could be read out and displayed in a bunch of different ways, like as a graphical network, or as a step-by-step list of instruct...

I found a reference to one or more JSON libraries for LC. Are there any libraries for YAML?

This seems to be working. The important bit that I was asking about is: repeat for each character tChar in temp put theDigits & (tChar & comma) into theDigits end repeat This is the whole thing so far. Now I get to work on the second pattern. The goal is to output a list of any numbers not visited b...

I want to implement a pattern where the output is the input plus the sum of the individual digits of the input. So, if the input was 839 the output would be 839 + (8 + 3 + 9) = 859. Is there a built-in function that will allow me to break the number up into its individual digits? If not, I was think...

I made a simple text editor and saved it as a standalone in windows and linux. The windows version runs just fine. When I try to open the linux version in ubuntu it gives me an error message: Could not display The file is of an unknown type Interestingly, ubuntu recognizes the windows version as an ...

These are different things, right? GLX2 is just a script editor? http://mwieder.on-rev.com/WordPress/?incsub_wiki=glx2-documentation GLX Application Framework actually gets bundled with standalones as part of their features? http://revolution.screenstepslive.com/s/revolution/m/glxapp If I know I wan...

What happens when you set the lock in the image inspector? The image should not respond to any mouse actions, though the arrow keys will move it if in editing mode. In the image's properties, under "size & position", checking "lock size and position" does not have any effect on the "grab" command. ...

I can't find any way to actually lock an image so that it acts like a background (user can't do anything to it). So, if anyone has any suggestions on that, this workaround might not be necessary. I've got a card with a "background" image and a bunch of ovals. The idea is to drag the ovals around unt...

Hi Bernd, Yeah, that's sort of what I was looking for. Thanks the link. I've spent a while going through the code in that stack and I learned a lot about the details. Like apparently there's a list of cursors. Who knew. But is that a good way to do it? It looks like the three sections are just three...

I've found a couple references to the fact that you can create a divider bar, but all of them just kind of mention that you can do it without explaining how. page 116 in the user guide You can use the Geometry Manager to scale objects with a "divider" bar. Create and script the bar to move, then lin...

Klaus, thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. You save me a lot of time sifting through documentation. Particularly the "not" and "ends with" syntax. I figured there had to be something simple like that but couldn't find it. This combination is working correctly: Save As button on mo...
