datagrid: on closeeditor the accents are lost
Hi, I have a datagrid that use the UTF8 to store the data. On FillData I have: set the unicodetext of me to uniencode(pData,utf8) If I load some value from the database that also use UTF8 the data are showed fine. But when I edit some value all the accents and are lost. In the EditValue I have: set the dgTemplateFieldEditor[utf8text] of the dgControl of me to unidecode(the unicodetext of me,utf8) EditFieldText the long id of me, the dgIndex of me, the dgColumn of me In the closeeditor I perform some checks but at end I have: SetDataOfIndex the dgIndex of me, the dgColumn of me, the text of pFieldEditor What is wrong? :( I read the http://lessons.runrev.com/spaces/lessons/manuals/datagrid/lessons/7337-How-Do-I-Save-Changes-The-User-Makes-In-An-Editor-Field-To-An-External-Data-Source- But I don't see the problem.

Re: Problem transferring focus to another object
Hi. I am not exactly sure what you need, but I do something similar. I have a locked field class where I want to place one of several text options. I have an option button class that I reveal wherever I click the mouse down in the field. That button appears at the mouseLoc and I can then select something from it. The selected text is loaded into the proper line of the field. The button disappears. In the field script: on mouseDown set the loc of btn class to the clickLoc put item 2 of the loc of btn class into tLoc put trunc((tLoc - the top of me) / the textHeight of me) + 1 into tLine set the clickedLine of me to tLine --remember the line of recent interest end mouseDown on mouseUp show btn class at the clickLoc click at the loc of btn class end mouseUp And in the option button script: on menuPick pItemName put the clickedLine of fld class into tLine put pItemname into line tLine of fld class hide me end menuPick on mouseRelease hide me end mouseRelease Works fine.

How to hilite a checkbox with send mouseup?

It would be better to do something like add another handler to the button: on MouseUpWithHilite set hilite of me to not hilite of me mouseup end MouseUpWithHilite And send THAT message to the button from afar. This way, the existing MouseUp handler in the button works as expected, and this message has the same result as clicking the button (toggling the hilite in the process) and enacting the MouseUp handler. ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 11:52 AM, Robert Brenstein r...@robelko.com wrote: On 15.02.11 at 17:24 +0100 Tiemo Hollmann TB apparently wrote: Hi Jim, thanks for your coaching.

I've included the name of the behaviors substack and it's main stack in the stackfiles, both pointing to the same file path but the behaviors still aren't recognised by the controls that point to them. I tried putting just the main stack into stackFiles and adding the statement open stack xyzsub of stack xyz - the behaviors still aren't recognised. Hi Peter I just tested using the stackfiles property as the sole reference for behaviors (both those on a substack of a separate stackfile and on a mainstack of a separate stackfile) and it worked perfectly so there must be something else going on. Both stackfiles were in a stackfiles subdirectory where the engine wouldn't normally find them. One important thing about behaviors is the engine has to find them before opening the stack they are used on.

LiveCode Event Feb 26th.
Hi, Checking in to see if you still have a slot I could use for a presentation on the above date. What I'd like to show is a tool I've put together that helps with the development of LiveCode Apps that use SQL databases by eliminating a large percentage of the LiveCode and SQL code developers normally have to write. If it's a go, I'd appreciate some guidance on the tools I will need to use to have the presentation go out live. I have some presentation materials and will also be creating some Livecode stacks using the tool during the presentation.

UPDATE: Drag and Drop
As far as the problems I have been having with drag and drop, I discovered I had a bad datagrid. When I deleted and recreated the datagrid, everything began to work properly again, with the exact same scripts (I saved and restored the scripts). Oddly, dropping onto any other column besides the third one worked, but dropping on the third column produced a bad dragDestination, and trying to get the dgIndex of the dragDestination returned empty. This frankly scares the bejesus out of me because at any point I can have a corrupted datagrid, and not know it until after I deploy. I am going to have to be very, very careful when working with these things. Also, the help says that the dragDestination is only available in the dragDrop handler, but I am using it in the dragReorderDrop handler (as per Datagrid Helper) and it works fine. Also, there is no help entry for dragReorderDrop.

Re: Problem transferring focus to another object
Thanks Craig - I'm trying to create a cross-platform control so unfortunately I can't use a Mac only option menu. Additionally, I want to use a small text size in the menu - hence the need to fake a menu with a field rather than with a proper menu (the overall effect I'm looking for is like the option menus you see if you do a find (cmd-F in a Finder window on the Mac). Anyway, it turns out it's not so easy to simulate a menu that behaves properly when the mouse is both clicked and left open or continuously held down. I've got it mostly working now - I just have to come up with a method for closing the menu when the user clicks away from it. Terry... On 16/02/11 1:55 AM, dunb...@aol.com dunb...@aol.com wrote: Hi.

Too bad Stevie just can't play nice with the rest of the world... And there's already talk in the WSJ about justice department action. My guess is just like the last time, after much hollering a screaming, Apple will change it's mind and backpedal.

Colin, if you read the article I referred to, the key issue is the part that reads,, 'Apple does require that if a publisher chooses to sell a digital subscription separately outside of the app, that same subscription offer must be made available, at the same price or less, to customers who wish to subscribe from within the app, Apple's statement read.' Most know Amazon (or for that matter any other mature channel presence company) does not have in it's business proformas an extra 30% profit on every item sold, to send to Apple. Furthermore, Kindle fulfillments are delivered from Amazon's own servers, and I'm sure the buying habits, nor privacy details of their customers are not something they wish to share with Apple or any other third party. Furthermore, Apples states in the article, Publishers and content sellers must remove any links within their apps to outside-the-App Store purchasing options, Apple said, a requirement that means Amazon.com must eliminate the link to the Kindle Store that it currently provides in its iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad apps. So combine that with the REQUIREMENT they allow for in-app purchases, and it appears the decision is already made for Amazon. Please tell me where you think I am off base. My guess is we'll see some back pedaling b Apple on all this very soon. They'll call it a clarification. Hmmm.

Re: [OT] Apple at it again
Well said. Apple's behavior in recent months has been ridiculous. If Microsoft tried anything remotely close to this, the Apple lovers would be in an uproar. This isn't just Amazon, it also applies to newspapers and periodicals who offer subscriptions for online reading of their publications through apps. No company has a right to tell another company what price they can sell their product for and what outlets they must sell them through. I'm a big fan of Apple hardware and software but they are becoming dictatorial. I won't use an iPhone or an iPad because of Apple's attitude. I prefer to use an Android phone and am anxiously awaiting the release of Android tablets, to say nothing of the release of a version of LC that supports Android.

My guess is we'll see some back pedaling b Apple on all this very soon. They'll call it a clarification. Hmmm. I wonder how Groupon or other companies like them who use an iPad app to sell their services will fare?

I'm sure Amazon doesn't have 30% in royalties to cough up to Apple for books sold. That's not good logic. For one thing, people are making fortunes off their 70%, and I'm sure Amazon don't making more of a fortune. Also, the 30% applies to subscribers that Apple acquired for the publisher, not ones that the publisher brought to the app. Here's what the deal is supposed to be,: “Our philosophy is simple—when Apple brings a new subscriber to the app, Apple earns a 30 percent share; when the publisher brings an existing or new subscriber to the app, the publisher keeps 100 percent and Apple earns nothing,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “All we require is that, if a publisher is making a subscription offer outside of the app, the same (or better) offer be made inside the app, so that customers can easily subscribe with one-click right in the app. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
