Some questions about datagrid table under iOS
Hi, i noticed that it is not very comfortable to edit a row in a datagrid table under iOS. I have to double tap several times to get the field into the edit mode. And if i press return then the edit mode is left and i have to double tap more than once onto the next field to edit that field. Is it possible to go into edit mode without double tapping? And is it possible in any way to switch to the next field of that row without the need to double tap that field again?

iOs and datagrids best practise?
Hi, I am starting to work on an iOs project and would really really like to use a dg there. I get it work in the simulator nicely, it renders... All fine. However, I would like to scroll it by touching the cells and then touchmoving along there? Has anybody done this? Any starters to try?

When you see a 169 number, it's not being issued by DHCP - it's being issued by the Mac itself, because DHCP would not give it a number. If you're getting DHCP from one of the AirPort Expresses, then you'd want to use Airport Utility App (free download from Apple) to go in and increase the range of numbers that the device is issuing. Right now it might say something like: 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.10. And you'd change it to 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.200. Then you won't run out of numbers. --- Richard MacLemale Music = http://www.richardmac.com Programming = http://www.macandchee.se On Mar 9, 2012, at 12:15 AM, Kay C Lan wrote: As we are WOT and you guys are clearly Server savvy I thought I might pose a problem I have not been able to solve.

Simply put, my home network seems to be limited to 10 devices (wired + WiFi).

Apart from desktops (wired), laptops and iOS devices (WiFi), there is a TimeCapsule (wired), 2 x Airport Expresses (1 wired to network, the other via WiFi), a printer (wired) and an AV Amp (wired).

Does the TimeCapsule us AFP, if so how does it differentiate between the 50 User limit and the 10 AFP Limit? iOS devices don't display the TimeCapsule so they can't be using AFP, but because there now seems to be an iOS device epidemic we now seem to hit the limit more often :-( I might also mention that we are running a range of OSs from Tiger to Lion. ___ 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

Re: [WOT] Warning - long winded discussion - was Re: Apple iPad announcement evokes yawn
Your DHCP server is running out of leases. A lease is still current even if no one is using it presently, because the TTL has not yet expired. DHCP will typically hold a lease until it expires. The solution is to bridge your Airports to the LAN so that everyone is on the same subnet, and then have a single DHCP server somewhere on the LAN (the server will probably have one) that hands out all the leases. Don't have more than one unless you know how to set them up that way.

Re: [WOT] Warning - long winded discussion - was Re: Apple iPad announcement evokes yawn
It sounds like there is more than one DHCP server, and that the other is rejecting the lease requests, but the way DHCP is supposed to work is, all servers respond with a DHCP offer, and the first one the client sees it uses. There is information in the broadcast traffic to indicate which server the client has accepted. If an offer is not acknowledged by a client, it is dropped. If you can get ahold of a 3rd party DHCP server that allows you to set up static IP addresses, you can just turn off the other DHCP servers and use that. I use IPNetRouterX, which is a full blown software router and firewall, and I just turn off the router and use the built in DHCP server. It's $100 though. I have a 400+ node network so it's worth it for me to control who gets what IP.

change a locked group's rect without moving contained controls
Does that make sense? I've been working at this for a while now and can't figure it out. The answer is probably simple. I have a grouped control that I'm trying to reposition at run-time. The group's lockLocation is set to true. The controls contained in the group are positioned first. So all I need to do is change the group's dimensions so none of the controls are cut off. I've tried different combinations of changing the group's width/height. I've tried changing the rect. I've tried changing the boundingRect. The last works the best, except it doesn't also change the rect to match, so even though the bounding rect is correct, the group's *visible* rect is not. And everything else I've tried moves the entire group, including it's controls, which have already been move. Not sure if I'm even making any sense. What I'm ultimately trying to do is create a handler to resize controls at run-time when run on a mobile device. In this case, I'm currently mostly concerned with iPad (generations 1 and 2) vs. the new iPad. On the new iPad, I need everything to scale up to the higher resolution. My script works well so far, except in the case of a group with it's lockLocation set to true. Jacque, if you're reading this, have you had any similar problems in your apps?

Re: a little help with find script
I wrote this in HC about 1990, ported over to LC. It predated the godLike Rinaldi. Completely straightforward: function revFullFind tText,tFind,exactly --RETURNS LINE NUMBER , WORD NUMBER put 0 into counter switch exactly case true case empty repeat for each line tline in tText add 1 to counter if tFind = tline then put counter return after tResult end if end repeat break case false repeat for each line tline in tText add 1 to counter if tFind is in tline then repeat with y = 1 to the number of words in tLine if word y of tLine = tFind then put y , after temp end repeat delete last char of temp put counter , temp return after tResult put into temp end if end repeat break end switch return tResult end revFullFind tText is your field text, tFind is, well, you know, and exactly should be false in your case. And yes, you need to run this for each field in each card, but that should only add about six more lines to your handler.

Oh, that would be cool! Maybe the array could be global (or passed as a parameter) and the subscript passed. This works: add 1 to a[x] ... it seems like a reasonable thing to do.

Editing very wide and tall stacks.
I need to edit the GUI on a stack that is very wide and very tall for a full screen app on a large screen that is much larger than my development environment. I also want to do some testing (click buttons, watch images fly around) on the development system. Ideas? (I suspect there is some feature I have missed over the years and I'm going to feel silly.)

Re: Editing very wide and tall stacks.
Dar, Group everything, set the rect of the group to the card rect. Disable the scroll bars in full-screen mode. The only problem is that turning off Select Grouped Controls can be problematic, but you can probably write a front script for that. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.7 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/za On 10 mrt 2012, at 02:16, Dar Scott wrote: I need to edit the GUI on a stack that is very wide and very tall for a full screen app on a large screen that is much larger than my development environment.

There is information in the broadcast traffic to indicate which server the client has accepted. If an offer is not acknowledged by a client, it is dropped. If you can get ahold of a 3rd party DHCP server that allows you to set up static IP addresses, you can just turn off the other DHCP servers and use that. I use IPNetRouterX, which is a full blown software router and firewall, and I just turn off the router and use the built in DHCP server. It's $100 though. I have a 400+ node network so it's worth it for me to control who gets what IP. I've adjusted Lease time from x Days down to the current 30 min. It's made no difference, and as I say, as soon as someone logs off, the next person can log on and they don't get a new IP, they don't get the IP of the person that just logged off, they get the IP they had last night before they went to bed, which is the same after 8hrs of logged off sleep in the morning before they headed out the door. My guess is that the TimeCapsule remembers the IP it associates with each MAC address and doesn't bother handing out a new IP unless it's a new MAC. As such, boyfriends and girlfriends can turn up and log on, because there is still a buffer in the IP range I've allocated, as long as there are not already 10 devices logged in. Thanks everyone for your responses, this is a LC forum and this thread is WOT so I think enough is enough. At least you've saved me money because I was very seriously considering buying an OS X server. ___ 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

Re: Passing parameters by reference
I have an update on this. If the parameter passed is simply the name of the array with no key qualifications, all is fine. LC only kicks up a fuss when you pass a qualified array like myArray[myKey]. Weird. Pete On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 5:05 PM, Dar Scott d...@swcp.com wrote: Oh, that would be cool! Maybe the array could be global (or passed as a parameter) and the subscript passed. This works: add 1 to a[x] ... it seems like a reasonable thing to do. There might be problems I don't see right off, such as access to the same array at two different levels at the same time.

on-rev urgent problem -- Livecode contact address?
Sorry but, does anyone know the urgent contact address for Livecode? I recall having seen before some LC/On-rev contact-website with a dropdown menu listing, but can't find it now. And in case someone from LC is reading... Suddenly, despite years of having functioned perfectly, a Rev-engine based cgi (which includes calls to MySQL) on my onrev account is suddenly -- I've not changed anything! -- spitting out this error: [Fri Mar 09 20:41:42 2012] [error] [client ...] Attempting to load driver: /path/dbmysql.so Oddly, my other critical on-rev problem a few weeks back also happened on a Friday at around the same time. I didn't check the logs then so I don't know if the problems are the same or related.

Re: on-rev urgent problem -- Livecode contact address?
Anything we mere mortals can check for you, in case it helps? Colin, I wish! But, the problem is server-side, so it needs someone with access to the server. Things seem to be back to normal. But the log page still shows an error when loading the dbmysql.so driver. Looking thru the archives, this dbmysql.so problem has happened before. Case-sensitivity was noted on by Andre Garzia, but, as I wrote, the setup has worked fine for years. So, why the hiccup now? And why at the same day of the week and time? If someone, mortal or not, has advice, please! P.S. Ditto on the still-unresolved problem with Android and post.
