Alarms do not appear in list

Post by louisheck » Tue Feb 16, 2016 12:34 am

My computer is a MacBook Pro. I cannot get any alarms to appear in the list. Sometimes they appear in the clockAppAlarms file, sometimes not. Even when visible in the file, they do not appear in the list.

Your help is appreciated!

See the attached Clock.livecode.zip.

Hi Louis,

At the moment I can only see the

Code: Select all

loadAlarms
command being executed when the stack is initially opened. This means that any new alarms that are added, will not show unless the stack is opened again.

When you save an alarm via

Code: Select all

saveAlarms
you are replacing the contents of the whole alarm file by using

Code: Select all

put...into
.

Please see the next lesson Checking For Alarms as this will explain how to read the list of alarms and how to save more than a single alarm.

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

Neil,

MacBook Pro, MacOS 10.11.3, LiveCode 7.1

I understand your suggestion and have reviewed the video and slides for the course on the Clock app including the 'Checking for Alarms' and the 'Editing and Deleting Alarms' as far as I could go, but could not finish since the alarms are not displayed. Even when I run preOpenStack via the Message Box, no alarms display. When I save and close the app, all alarms are deleted from the alarms file, so when it is reopened, nothing displays.

What did I miss?

Thanks,
Louis Heck
