Re: Creating LiveCode applications that play well with git
Hi Trevor, Thanks for your reply. I believe that I now have the linter up and running and I can see why all the note recommend using the package installer. For reference I had three problems with the install which are not all that clear in the various readme files: 1. Updating the user prefs. Be car...

Re: Creating LiveCode applications that play well with git
Re my question about syntax checking. I have listened hard to the video and now understand that you refer to a "linter" file rather than the odd sounding "Livecode winter" that I originally heard (Doh!). I have googled linter and sublimetext3 and am now installing yet more gooodies from Trevor's Git...

Re: Creating LiveCode applications that play well with git
Trevor, A big THANKYOU for all your efforts in making and posting your videos. I have not yet used any version control tools and the only external editor I tried was tRev way back when,which had its problems. So I have set aside a few days to try Sublime text with your additions/plugins and then I m...

Re: How does or should "Is Among" work ?
Hi Klaus and Bernd, Many thanks for your comments which have helped in my understanding. I had incorrectly thought that line breaks would be also treated as word or item breaks and I had not realised that LC only uses spaces to delimit words in the command "is among the words". The "trueWords" keywo...

How does or should "Is Among" work ?
Hi I am confused by the use of "item" and "items". Specifically I have a field named ColourCodes that holds the following data, these are todo priorities at the beginning of the line followed by a comma and then a named colour : Normal,LightPink2 Priority,MediumSeaGreen Note,LightGreen High,LightGra...

URL Syntax and RevBrowser on Mac
Hi, I have a utility application that displays PDF files in a revbrowser window. The name of the file is passed to the browser as a URL. If the name passed contains either a space or a pipe then the browser fails to locate the file and displays a blank page. The solution is to replace the special ch...

How do you write file tags to OSX files?
Hi, I would like to add the ability to write key word tags to files in Mac OS X. I have found details in the LC dictionary of how to access the resource fork (OS9?) but not how to write to the extended attributes of Mac OSX files. Googling suggests I need to use the OS command "xattr" and process so...

Drag and Drop a single line of text
Hi, I have spent the last few hours experimenting with drag and drop. While I have written code that works it feels a clumsy and over complicated so I would appreciate any comments. The code below is in a behavior button used by two list fields. The aim is to allow the user to select complete lines/...

Re: Datagrid - strange behavior
Hi again, I have discovered a repeatable method of putting a datagrid into a state where modifying the code in the row behavior button fails to restore correct operation. In summary if the line exit to top is used things break. However, if the line is removed the datagrid remains broken until Liveco...

Re: Datagrid - strange behavior
Thanks for your comments. I have LC 8 DP16 and will look for a log file. Quailcreek your set up is the same as mine, when you say you use Dgs often are you customising them with additional controls and editing/adding behavior buttons? I think that I shall have to investigate further but I am wonderi...

Datagrid - strange behavior
Hi, I have just started to use Livecode (7.1.3) after break and am refreshing my knowledge (ha!) on the working of Datagrids. I have created a simple stack that imports a list of names and addressed and I am displaying this list in two datagrids on the same card. I have no specific problem of the “h...

Re: Datagrid - adding line under variable height records
I have a sort of answer: first do not alter the values in the string passed as pControlRect as it may cause problems. Second it seems to me that a line causes a problem because the datagrid does not allow a line to increase the height of a line in a form. My line has item 2 = item 4 in its rect whic...

Re: Datagrid - Detecting Return in Field
I wonder if you can save the name of the current field in a global (which is updated on closeField, say), and use it with the key information gleaned separately. Thanks it works : I added a custom property to the datagrid group and populate it with the name of the field in the row behavior handler ...
