Re: Hide tooltip instantly?

I have just been playing around and found that if you put this in the script of your object : on mouseEnter set the toolTipDelay to 0 end mouseEnter The Tool Tip will NOT show at all. So the question is in this case: "Why do you have a tool tip if you do not want anyone to see it?" If you do this: o...

Re: Monitor DPI for Windows and Mac: Richmond Finds More Problems.

So: at home with a triple-monitored 'thing' and: - Screenshot 2024-04-05 at 10.36.37.png - And, as you can see, LiveCode is making a right whoreson's out of monitor number 3. I thought that might be because of the "default" thing: - Screenshot 2024-04-05 at 10.39.39.png - BUT my stack STILL returns ...

Re: Where are the newbies?

Hmm: I would be wary of using 'Fool', as, historically the fool was a lot more switched on than even the King.

Re: Monitor DPI for Windows and Mac?

In front of me I have a 23 inch monitor (i.e. 22.9 inches diagonally): I don't know how a computer is going to 'know' that. HOWEVER: https://www.infobyip.com/detectdisplaysize.php https://www.whatismyscreenresolution.org/what-is-my-monitor-size/ As you can see, it has a wide variety of resolutions i...

Re: Monitor DPI for Windows and Mac?

Of course my stack(s) doesn't provide the DPI, but it does supply the scale factor, and, for the sake of argument, as I have a 27" Retina display iMac with 2 "bog normal" monitors riding 'side-saddle' (one on each side), I expect my stack will return both the real and the virtual screen resolutions ...

Slightly refined (but probably not up to the standard to put in the tank of your HumVee): on mouseUp put empty into fld "f1" put empty into fld "f2" put the screenPixelScales into fld "f4" put the screenRects into fld "f3" put the number of lines in fld "f3" into nSCREENS put 1 into SCREAMS repeat u...

Re: Monitor DPI for Windows and Mac?

Here's something as crude as a crude thing. on mouseUp put item 3 of the screenRect into WIDD put item 4 of the screenRect into HITE put the pixelScale into sFACTOR put WIDD && "x" && HITE into fld "f1" put WIDD * sFACTOR into vWIDD put HITE * sFACTOR into vHITE put vWIDD && "x" && vHITE into fld "f...

Re: Where are the newbies?

Yes, well, 'Amthony' . . . Obviously 'Amthony' had more things to worry about, such as 'spiling'. 8) I just felt that 'idiots' was silly, and incorrect. Personally it seems to me that regarding xTalk languages as "toys' is largely either prejudice or based on not actually taking the time necessary t...

Re: Where are the newbies?

people are idiots, a treasure to be had for the taking that they simply do not see 1. That is plain insulting and totally misanthropic, and not very helpful. I drive a Toshiba Auris, I use MacOS and Xubuntu Linux as my operating systems of choice: does the fact that I do not use Windows, and do not...
