changing object colour references from hex to rgb
OK, I want to set the background of some objects to a hex value - easy enough - but then at a later stage I want to compare an RGB colour value with them to see if there is a match.

Re: newbie question about smartphone apps
Apparently it's possible to make iPhone and Android apps with LC. Apparently, there's a product called LiveCode Mobile, rather similar to LC, for this purpose. Do I have it right so far? Android and iOS development is possible with add-on licenses. It's the same app, just enabled for output to those devices. If I am able to create a conventional LC stack for my own use, similar to the hypothetical phone app, how much harder is it to develop a smartphone app? In a sense it's easier, as smart phone apps generally do less than desktop apps. That said, each OS has it's own quirks and issues, and of course you have to take into account the user interface and user interaction differences between desktop apps and touch-driven mobile device apps. Can I install a prototype on my own smart phone for testing purposes? (At the moment, I don't even own a smart phone, so please excuse the newbishness.) Once you have the LC license(s), and the Android and/or iOS development SDKs you can do that, and more. You can also run your apps in simulators on your desktop machines (I think you need a Mac to do iOS development however). Not sure about Android, but you would need to be a registered iOS developer if you wanna do iOS apps - Apple charges $99/year for that. I would need professional assistance to get the hypothetical app error-free, attractive, and otherwise ready for prime time before it could be sold in an app store. What's the going rate for a consultant to help me get a final product ready? I assume this is normally an hourly rate. I charge $7.2 million dollars an hour. (I have no idea what people charge...just being silly). I'm no professional, but I have an app on the store :) Is it realistic to hope that I could keep consulting fees down by doing much of the prototyping and easy coding myself, even though I am a self-taught amateur? Possibly - hard to say without knowing your limitations :) Assuming the app is stable and reasonably functional and attractive and has some legitimate interest and value for at least a few tens of thousands of people (admittedly, I have a narrow purpose and interest group in mind) what are the chances that the powers that be will allow the app to be sold in their app stores? If it complies with the app store rules, it'll be accepted. Does it matter much, in terms of acceptance, if me, the producer, is basically a nobody, as long as the app is good?

Re: Question About Windows Standalone
Hi Gregory, You need to send the entire Windows folder to your users. This includes the separate stack files, referenced files if there are any, and the externals folder. You might leave out the externals folder if you really want to. If you prefer to send just one file, you could use the Installer Maker Plugin. This plugin creates one .exe file, which you don't need to compress to send it to your users. The .exe file doesn't need any externals, so you don't need to include that folder, even if your own standalone needs externals (but you need to include the externals when you make the installer). You can find the Installer Maker Plugin here http://qery.us/za -- 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 6 sep 2011, at 02:11, Gregory Lypny wrote: Hello everyone, I’m am Mac user who doesn’t know much, if anything, about Windows.

Re: revPropertyPalette
Hi Joe, I am having the same problem with revPropertyPalette. I don't expect it to get fixed. In any case, don't save it :-) I don't think that saving it makes sense, if it doesn't make things worse. If you can't ungroup a group, that group probably contains nested groups. Select the group and choose Edit Group from the Object menu. Now you should be able to select the nested groups and ungroup those. Stop editing the group and ungroup the group you were editing. This time it should work. LiveCode is only one of many programming tools I use, but I think there are quite a few people who only use LiveCode, perhaps together with either SuperCard or RealBasic. Quite a few others probably use LiveCode combined with some web programming tools and a few graphing tools. -- 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 6 sep 2011, at 17:40, lunchnme...@aol.com wrote: Hi, I've been having this problem for a long time, but I've just been living with it.

Re: Copying from MS word into RunRev 4.0
No not really. It works for you because Parallels is doing a clipboard translation itself, so the quote survives. It would be the same thing as first pasting into a Rich Text Editor, recopying, and then pasting into Livecode. That always works.

Re: [ANN] ObjectFormats plugin
This would be incredibly useful to me if it worked with cards and groups as well. I make extensive use of properties to store things like datagrid column formatting and related tables for a form. Bob On Sep 4, 2011, at 9:13 PM, Peter M. Brigham, MD wrote: I'm making available for general use a plugin I've developed. Here's from the help text: -- What it is The ObjectFormats plugin helps you apply stored properties to buttons or fields in any stack. Set up a field or button the way you want it and save its properties in this plugin, then apply the whole set of properties to future fields or buttons with a mouseclick. You can store a list of button and field formats and use them whenever you want. How it works Select a button or a field in any stack with the pointer tool, then click the save format button. (The plugin only works for buttons and fields, at least for now.) After naming your format, a number of properties of the selected control will be stored and the format will appear in the list in the main field. Button formats will be indicated with a little oval button icon and field formats will be indicated with a square field icon. Thereafter, if you select a button or a field in any stack and then click on a format in the list, all the stored properties of that format will be applied at once to the selected control. Certain properties will not be stored or changed, for obvious reasons: the name, label, altID, rect, behavior, script, layer, text, icon, etc., of controls will remain untouched, since they are either unique for each control or should otherwise be handled individually. Only properties relevant to the general appearance and functioning of the button or field will be set, like the button or field style, text appearance, border width, margins, blending, locktext, tabstops, colors, autohilite, showborder, etc, where applicable. After you apply a format to an object, the undo button will appear at top right. If you regret your reformatting of the object, click the undo button and the previous properties of the selected object will be restored. Note that only the most recent reformatting operation can be undone. Option-click on the save format button to examine the relevant properties of the selected object (without saving them). Option-click on a line in the format list to see the stored properties of that format (without applying them). Shift-click on a format in the list to delete it from the plugin. Command-click on a format to change its name. To use it as a plugin, drop the ObjectFormats.rev file into your plugins folder and restart LiveCode. --- Available at: .dmg -- http://db.tt/dCBTN1d .zip -- http://db.tt/Ck6PnYn -- Peter Peter M.

Re: DataGrid: some questions
I ran into this when I started out trying to make a datagrid operate like a simple spreadsheet. Turns out it is not a simple thing to do. You would have to trap for a returnkey in any cell in the last row, or a tabKey in the last cell of the last row, and call addLine followed by editCellOfIndex (does addLine return the index or line created by chance?). To address clicking, you would have to calculate how many rows down the user clicked from the actual data, and then insert a bunch of blank data, which begins to mess things up tremendously, especially when the user tries to sort! Datagrids should, in my opinion, have a little vertical bar at the beginning of each row to indicate if there is data of any kind in the row. At least you would have a visual indication that there are blank rows there. Alternately, you could modify the datagrid drawing routine to add blank rows to fill up the visual space at the end of the data, but then you would have to modify the sort routines to ignore blank rows, or offer a parameter to the sort function to do so. Also the functions to return how many rows in the data would have to be modified, what gets returned with dgData and dgText, etc. As you can see, the whole problem gets really ugly, so as it turns out, making a datagrid operate like even a simple spreadsheet is anything but simple. What is REALLY needed is for the drawing routine to create the objects to fill in the visible area, but NOT have it effect the actual data itself until something is actually PUT in a row. At least for Table type datagrids anyway. This would probably require a reworking of the datagrid functions quite a bit so I am not holding my breath for this one. :-) You really get a glimpse of what a complicated thing a spreadsheet is in the first place!

Personally,I prefer to provide a button for the user to click on to add a new row of data to a datagrid, just seems more user friendly to provide a visual clue as to how to add a row than leave the user to guess that a double click in an empty row of the datagrid is the way to do it. With the button approach, you avoid having to scroll through a bunch of rows to get to the end of data and see an empty row, in fact there won't be an empty row if the total number of rows of data is an exact multiple of the number of visible rows in the datagrid.

I have had multiple card property windows open at once as well.

Re: [BUG] LiveCode server 4.6.3 fails to connect to MySQL UNIX socket file
It works on on-rev because they have a symbolic link in place to link from /tmp/mysql.sock to wherever the real file is. Now, if you are on a shared host such as Dreamhost, there is a big chance that this symbolic link does not exist and since you are not root, you will not be allowed to create it, so, you will not be able to connect to mysql. I am lucky that I have my own VPS and know enough of Linux to spot this problem and fix it on my own but this is the kind of silly thing that we should not be facing. If the engine is looking for a specific file we should always have a way to override it, much like we can with revSetDatabaseDriversPath and things like that. Another option was if the mysql.so thing would pick the UNIX socket file from mysqld who will always point to the correct place... actually you need both, you need the engine to look into the configured place in mysqld and also to be able to override it.

The mysqld daemon will tell the client what socket file to use but LiveCode server is not using that file. LiveCode Server 3.5 works fine but the new 4.6.x series does not. I call on the users of these lists to vote for this bug report. This bug has a workaround with symbolic links but this linking can't be done for users on shared hosts, so I think it qualifies for a severe bug.

The .exe file doesn't need any externals, so you don't need to include that folder, even if your own standalone needs externals (but you need to include the externals when you make the installer).

Re: [ANN] ObjectFormats plugin
Well, no current plans to expand in that direction. The way the plugin works now is it just changes the properties of an existing selected button or field. For it to replicate cards or groups It would have to be able to create a bunch of objects then set their properties. The internal storage of the properties would have to be revamped, and that would take some doing. I won't rule it out for the future but it's not on the horizon for today. Maybe if there is enough demand BTW, I have just upgraded it to give the user the option of storing the script and/or the rect of a button or field in addition to properties it saved originally.

Richmond I suspect not, at least not it the short term. The Syllable Desktop OS is not a Linux distro but a whole new operating system. The Syllable Server OS is a Linux distro. I believe that it takes some effort to port a Linux application to the Syllable Desktop and would doubt that RunRev would see that as commercially worthwhile at this time.
