I just went through the process of trying to find livecode's built-in functions for manipulating geometry and trig and whatnot. They don't exist. Or, rather, there are a couple but they only work for graphics and they only use their "points" which have to be rounded off. After you work with text and...

I'm trying to use a field as a container for a short bit of text. I want the edges of the field to shrink down to just enough to show all of the text without any extra padding. This is the script I'm using to create the field: set the loc of the templateField to workingArray[tKey][coord] set the tex...

So you know how you want the target link to start? Maybe the "begins with" function will help http://livecode.com/developers/api/6.0. ... ns%20with/

This post addresses it.

The meat of my suggestion would be to read this article.

I've got little fields with some text in them that the user can drag around. After the user is done dragging I want to update an array with the final location of the field. Usually, the script figures out that the user is done and updates the final location, but every now and then it doesn't. I've g...

I followed along with a couple lessons on making scrolling groups. I swear to Gosh at one point my experimental group did everything I wanted it to. Specifically, I could click anywhere inside it, drag the mouse, and the group would scroll appropriately. Now the same group won't do that anymore. I h...

It seems fixed. The scrollbar disappeared when I fed a non-numeric key into dgData and the scrollbar reappeared whenever all of the keys were numeric. So I added a counter that ensures there's a numeric key for every entry in dgData since the array I'm pulling from has a couple non-numeric keys. It'...

I see several options for extensions/plugins that help make sense of the application being written in Livecode. Examples: ControlManager lcTaskList 1.3 NativeDoc 3.0 etc Is there anything that generates a flow diagram, or just follows the logic from message to command to function and somehow display...

Looks like you should be able to use the "split" command

So, something like...

That didn't produce any errors. I tried several ways, like resetting the IDE, and refreshing with script, and refreshing from the property manager. No errors. I also tried different options under layer mode; no affect. Older versions of the application have a datagrid that still scrolls just fine. S...

Putting this here because it's easier for responding to the mailing list, and it makes sense to put the info for this topic in one place.
Also, I'm using version 7 (rc 1) on Windows 8.1

Now the other datagrid in my application has suddenly started doing the same thing. It always worked properly, but now it's scrollbar doesn't work and it looks like it's just overlaying rows with content on top of the default datagrid.

Maybe this is what you're looking for http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.ph ... 202#p86653

I've got this datagrid that's drawing the right thing but it's kind of like it's own graphic on top of the default datagrid. In the attached image, I resized the window a bit to expose the difference between the stuff that's being drawn and the default datagrid "underneath." This version has scrollb...

jacque, awesome, thanks that worked perfectly :) I just searched for livecode.rev & livecode7.rev and deleted them both. It's entirely possible that my laptop still thinks it might possibly have to deal with an external monitor since I had one for a long time. But after deleting those two preference...
