Hmm, 38 people (well I guess 37 no counting myself) have views this post with no replies. Does no one know how to do this? Or is everyone who does know busy building awesome Windows standalones with multiple documents types?

So in LiveCode's Staandalone builder, we can specify an icon for the application and a file extension and icon for a single document. How do we add more icons and associated file extensions to a standalone under OSX and Windows. For OSX, after you build the standalone, you can open the app bundle an...

I have an application that when built into a standalone under LC665, for OSX, the About and Help menu work fine. The same application built under LC676 for OSX results in the all menu items under the Help menu (except for Apple's default search) greyed out and "About <appname>" under the <applicatio...

Does anyone out there have reliable scripts for determining the active email client on OSX and/or Windows? Including and especially if the user is using GMail? The issue is that when you use revMail (i.e. revMail address, [ccAddress, [mailSubject, [messageBody]]] ) it appears that Google GMail has a...

Researchware is looking for some one experienced at developing LiveCode externals for OSX and Windows for work on a specific external.

The reason your stack is not getting the mouseEnter or mouseLeave at the stack is because the handler in your card script traps them. Many messages (like resizeStack) are actually sent to the current card and if no handler is present to handle them, they pass through to the stack script. If a handle...

The truly annoying thing is that mouseEnter and mouseLeave ARE sent to the card UNDER Windows. Only under OSX is mouseEnter not sent. That seems like a BUG to me.

Actually in my application there can be a fair amount of rows and columns. In nearly all cases a person would need to scroll to the subtotals. And, yes, I could have placed the totals in separate fields to the right and bottom of the DataGrid to always have the totals visible. I choose not to for ea...

Sri, 1) In my case, I have enclosed the DataGrid and a couple of check boxes (below the DataGrid to show or hide the subotals) in a parent group. The parent group serves as my "matrix" control with a set of custom properties, one of which is the "dataArray" of the control. I use a setProp handler fo...

Martin, Thank you! The following small variation on the custom sorting lesson script ensures that the last Index of the DataGrid is always at the bottom regardless of sort. Specifically the code snip if (the showColSubtotals of the owner of me) then put max(theIndexSequencing) into tLastIndex -- sub...

Martin, Thanks! Now that I know that dgIndexes is a settable property and can control the order, I just need to figure out how to detect when a column is sorted to readjust the indexes. It looks like I can use a mouseUp handler that checks "If the dgHeader of the target is not empty then ..." to det...

The Datagrid documentation references: dgIndexes - get the dgIndexes - Returns the internal list of indexes in the order in which they appear in the data grid. Indexes are the numeric indices used when setting the dgData property It doesn't say whether this is settable so that you could change the o...

Datagrids are great for displaying numerical data. Column resizing and sorting is all done for you by the Datagrid. Adding a set of ROW subotals (i.e. a column on the right that contains subtotals for each row) is easy. You can show or hide the column as you like. Adding a set of COLUMN subotals (i....
