Re: Checkbox Anomaly in Windows
Mark, Thanks for your response. I had thought that might be the problem, though I love my "cobble", since both radio buttons and check boxes on Windows apps are so tiny. Now I've got something that can be seen. I wish I had done the same thing with the radio buttons, though they do come through OK. I have several hundred of them in one stack and never gave this aspect a thought at the time, so I'll live with them. This is for an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) application, so my own visual problems are germane.

Re: Checkbox Anomaly in Windows
Joe, No, I haven't seen this particular problem, but some emulators do have problems. For example, Wine doesn't display image objects correctly. I can imagine that Fusion doesn't render some objects correctly if running is running in a simulated environment like Fusion. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Send me a friend request on Facebook if you like https://www.facebook.com/marksch On 3 sep 2011, at 20:58, Joe Lewis Wilkins wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > Though I've never been able to determine why the check boxes in my > application don't show up in the Window's version (I'm using LC4.5.2 and run > XP under Fusion), I have been able to cobble something using Graphics, > simulating Check Boxes (kind of), that do work.

Franklin 3D and LC 4.6.3 (and later)
Mike had found that Franklin 3D required 4.6.2 in order to work. I figured it out, the installer stack fails to move the Franklin3D.bundle file into the My LiveCode/Externals folder. Dragging that in manually makes it all work. Not sure if it's something for RunRev to fix, or for the Franklin guys. ___ 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
Checkbox Anomaly in Windows
Hi Everyone, Though I've never been able to determine why the check boxes in my application don't show up in the Window's version (I'm using LC4.5.2 and run XP under Fusion), I have been able to cobble something using Graphics, simulating Check Boxes (kind of), that do work. I'd still like to know if anyone else has encountered this problem.

Re: Copying from MS word into RunRev 4.0
Jonathan, I think this may be fallout from an old MS/Adobe battle. there have been problems with the how data was formatted on the clipboard by MS and then having issues with pasting into Adobe apps. from all i read on that it was a big finger pointing game with adobe saying MS was not doing apple standard formatting of their data on the clipboard to make it accessible and MS saying it was adobe being stupid on how they looked at data on the clipboard... in my experience its gotten worse with later revs of word... it is a muck... the straight quote does help with similar unicode issues in dreamweaver, but there are some other characters like em dashes that also give out of bounds character codes. cheers jeff On Sep 3, 2011, at 1:00 PM, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: I blame Microsoft, because this is obviously intentional in some fashion.

Re: Copying from MS word into RunRev 4.0
Jonathan, I've just copied & pasted 'it's' (with a curly single right-hand quote) from Word 2010 (Windows) on my Parallels VM into TextWrangler on my Mac and the curly quote character survives intact. So, for me, Word export and the clipboard are working OK. I repeated this with Word into a new (Mac - I don't have a Win LC development instance) LC stack and new field with the same results (except the field displayed a straight quote). Copying and pasting the single quote from the LC field created some interesting results. Pasting into TextWrangler (and Notepad on Windows) revealed a curly quote (so the Parallels clipboard is OK) but pasting back into Word 2010 (Win) rendered a straight single right hand quote - but that might have been pilot error, as I don't quite understand all Word's pasting options that pop-up?!? ;-) You might want to repeat the above with your LC (Win) instance and to check that on your system, Word, the Windows clipboard and the Windows LC engine are all working OK - and test manually first, to avoid any script-based complications. My gut feel is that this may have something to do with LiveCode's current (variable) support for unicode - especially when using scripts to process the clipboardData. Check out numtochar in the dictionary - if you can set the useUnicode property in the right place, you may be lucky and be able to adapt James' handler to work with the curly single right quote. Again, during testing, it may be sensible to avoid rendering the text in a field but rather use a variable and view via custom properties. Good luck, Keith..
