Re: How to perform basic arithmetic operations
I should have forced myself to carry on phonetyping and say "but it depends on the user interface" and "try to make the UX intuitive and simple/sensible". Slider values can be rounded or constrained quite simply. For a calculator UI, uh... use buttons with a big numeric (or delete, function,etc) ico...

Re: How to perform basic arithmetic operations
The field then will only allow digits or "." or "," to be entered (edit as needed). With this, the text of the field can only ever contain numbers. Of course, safest is to do both this and what Sparkout says, if you want the calculator logic to apply to inputs other than the field where you control...

Re: How to perform basic arithmetic operations
Things to check (and have the script do some of the error checking for you): Field names match the script references Field contents are a number (For example, not a blank line that's been pushed out of view at the top of the field because of a number sitting in view at the bottom) Make the script ch...

And they keep trying to foist it on me when I'm travelling for work. Except on the MV Alfred, Lochmaddy to Uig sailing this morning with no catering or retail facilities at all.

Re: Custom fonts with a standalone
No, you don't. A) put the path to the fontfile into tFontfile and check "there is a file (tFontfile)" before the start using statement. Show an error if the engine can't find the right font file. B) after successful check the file exists and start using statement, answer the fontnames. Make sure the...

Re: Custom fonts with a standalone
Try adding the keyword "globally" at the end if the "start using" statement. I have often had to do that, not sure why. But also test with another font style to see if it is the otf style that's the problem. I can't remember at the moment but I think otf is supported. But not every font file is the ...

Re: I am far too bold
Have I missed something? The Property Inspector button for "bold" does not toggle the bold state on/off to != the current bold state of tte selected text? Instead it always sets the bold state of the selected text to true? OK there might be some complicated interpretations according to possible mixe...

Re: Problem with datagrid
I think we'd need to know the code for handling the "yes" answer you mentioned. It must be affecting the (current) datagrid data or behaviour somehow, and all the resets and refreshes are likely irrelevant. The dgData looks like it has received some incorrect value, eg text where a numerical value i...

Just put it in a sack with some horseshoes and bricks, tie it up and drop it in the canal.

More humane to drown it (or at least, less messy without dangerous shards and splinters)

Re: Set the fullscreenmode of me to "ExactFit" has no effect.
Presumably that's a typo and you mean with a space between "on/end" and "preOpenStack" - otherwise it looks ok
Code: Select all
on preOpenStack
set the fullscreenmode of me to "exactFit"
end preOpenStack

Re: Setting the defaultfolder on the fly
It won't be ellipsis, but the double dot "go back up one folder level" line in the list of folders returned.
