How do I start Livecode so that a openStack (or openCard) command does not execute immediately and allows me to compile? The environment function will return "development" when in the IDE, e.g.: on openStack if "dev" is in the environment then exit openStack DoSomethingAtRuntime end openStack So it...

Here are some links that might offer a solution. https://www.howtogeek.com/50786/using-srvstart-to-run-any-application-as-a-windows-service/ https://robotronic.de/runasserviceen.html Regards, Paul Those links are perfect. Thank you. Second question: I would prefer to run the program's contents insi...

I would like to convert one of my desktop apps made with Livecode into a running service so it can run seamlessly in the background and not be easily shut down to ward against hackers and breaches.

Can this be done on Windows? Mac? Linux?

Thanks.

I found out the cause. Hi Mike, Clearly stated in flexiblelearning documentation: chartmaker doc.jpg Regards, Thierry Thierry, No, that is incorrect. It's not clear as in it's not even stated. I did all of that and it failed every time. It wasn't until I unchecked that option that it succeeded. No ...

It's important to note that none of this would have been necessary and all commands would have worked fine (as well as the coding logic) if it wasn't for the fact that the source data was encoded base-16 and messing up everything. Once that was recognized and addressed (erasing all nulls), everythin...

I found out the cause.

In the Livecode standalone application settings window, there is a check box for moving substacks into individual stack files - make sure it is unchecked or compilation of ChartMaker will fail.

That's it.

Hey everyone. I am attempting to compile a desktop software that has a dashboard made partly with ChartMaker. I made it a substack, licensed it properly, followed all the directions and yet, in the compiled (64 bit) version of my software, ChartMaker throws errors, saying it's not embedded. Funny en...

Turns out it was a ChartMaker thing - I named the chart incorrectly in code and it was just throwing up all kinds of random errors.

All fixed.

As predicted, it told me the name of the card and path to it. Why would that help me? put "28105" & tab & varCredScore28105Avg & tab & varNetWorth28105Avg & tab & varAvailCash28105Avg & cr into line 2 of field "tblCreditScoreAvg" put "28130" & tab & varCredScore28130Avg & tab & varNetWorth28130Avg &...

Richard,

This is simply a demo and is only meant to show statistics for those zipcodes only. I would never hand code a zillion zipcodes.

I'll try put and see what it says

Hi. More specifically, I am throwing an error on char 1 - no such object, The error is telling you that the field is not recognized, not that there is a problem with whatever you want to put into that field. If, from msg, you ask: select field "tblCreditScoreAvg" what happens? ...has no commas As f...

Yep, I'm still here. My last hurdle is to average large amounts of numbers. I am trying to use the average function, but i'm afraid I am doing it all wrong. put average(varCredLimitAtlantaCount) into varCredLimitAtlantaAvg put average(varCredLimitAugustaCount) into varCredLimitAugustaAvg put average...

my old as crap Mac I also deploy a series of Macintoshes from 2005-2007 running a range of versions of MacOS from 10.4 to 10.7 (and. oddly enough that's quite a range: all the way from PPC G4 through G5, Intel 32 bit to Intel 64 bit) and I would not describe any of them as "crap". HOWEVER . . . the...

Wow. What a cluster. So, FourthWorld saved my butt!! He told me to call him, so I did. He discovered that I am a bit hyper active and tried very hard to extract information from me. Thankfully, he has a lot of patience. So, eventually, after a lot of advice, we discovered that there were null charac...

Maybe it has to do with the encryption/decryption process. Even though if you 'put' the decrypted variable - it shows up properly in the message box, I cannot seem to use it as a normal string variable though. When I encrypt, I encode it with UTF-8 and the reverse when I decrypt it. I wonder if that...
