Re: iOS Control Instantiation problem
Sorry for the waste of bandwidth - I found it in the end: it's all to do with
undetected errors in the code. In one case I had a badly formed statement that
compiled without problems - I had put 'to' instead of 'into' - so the rest of
the handler was skipped; in another case I had called iPhoneControlSet with a
bad parameter, which again caused the script to stop executing.
I find this kind of debugging tough: I am using very clunky debugging methods
because I have not yet understood the following (from the LC iOS Release Notes):
There is, however, a simple means of logging from an emulated target device.
The LiveCode command form:
put string
Will write the string out to the standard error stream. These messages will
be visible in Console.app when running in the simulator, and in the Console
tab of the Xcode Organizer for a given target device while it is connected to
the host computer.
All these tests have just been with the 5.1 iPhone simulator, and I haven't yet
found the Console app. Can anyone help me?

Re: iOS Control Instantiation problem
Console is located in /Applications/Utilities. You can also debug this way
when running your app on a device. Simply open Xcode, and under your connected
device, click the Console icon. Note that the Console application is used when
you're running in the simulator, and the Console in Xcode is used when running
your app on a physical device. Sometimes I get confused and wonder why I'm not
seeing output in one or the other. :-)

MobGui Rotation Problem
Has anybody else noticed a problem with MobGui with using rotated devices? I have made both portrait and landscape cards. Then I fire up the simulator to test my app, and rotate. The first card looks good. When I switch to a second card, though, although the screen is rotated, MG has loaded the template for the other orientation. Thinking I might have done something to break MG I created a brand new stack, made sure that the MG code was in the card script of both cards, and tried it again. It still fails. I've also tested on real devices to the same result.

iOS: deleting a line from a field
I have found that, for me, this line of script applied to a list field where the user has selected a line: delete the selectedLine works differently in the iOS environment compared to the IDE and desktop environments. In the IDE etc, the statement deletes the line and closes the gap remaining, but in iOS it doesn't close the gap but leaves a blank line! I don't know if this is a bug or one of the numerous errors I find myself making. I have anyway found a workaround, which is to replace the above script with something like this: put the selectedChunk into t1 -- this looks like e.g. 'char 5 to 25 of fld 4' add 1 to word 4 of t1 -- to include the return at the end of the line do delete t3 Should the original script have worked?

Re: MobGui Rotation Problem
Have you tried turning the statusbar on and off in Mobgui? That has worked for me. It seems to store the geometry for each, then occasionally does not detect the correct one when the device is rotated. If you turn the setting off and then on again for each card the geometry data is copied to the other state and it might help. This in turn causes other problems later when you have updated the cards and wonder why they are updated in the IDE and not on the device (until you repeat the turn status bar off then back on to reset the geometry data again). Id love to be able to tell Mobgui what to use rather than have it guess (or just turn the feature off entirely), as especially on Android the reported screen sizes are not consistent and you have to create layouts for every possible scenario.

Re: MobGui Rotation Problem
Andrew, As you're probably aware, MG stores the with/without status bar as another resolution group (you can find them in the custom properties of each card). It's certainly not perfect, but it's a little better. It seems now like objects (that appear correct when laying them out) do not obtain the proper positions and sizes on the first pass into a card after a reorient, but on a second visit they seem to get fixed. Thanks for the suggestion... -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans.

Pattern draw changes
The 5.x docs say a change has been made to how patterns are drawn: Prior to 5.0.0-dp-2, the origin of a pattern (where it starts tiling from) is the top left of the object from which the pattern is inherited. For example, the means that the origin of a pattern of a graphic inherited from the card will be the top left of the card, rather than the top left of the graphic. AS of 5.0.0-dp-2, this functionality has been altered for objects with 'dynamic' layerMode (and for objects within a group with 'dynamic' layerMode). The origin of the patterns of such objects is now the top left of the object itself, irrespective of where the pattern is set. I tried both static and dynamic objects with a backpattern set, and the pattern origin looks identical both ways, with the origin always starting at the topleft of the object. What changed? My goal is to have the pattern align with the card backpattern no matter where the oject is located on the card. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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

Script editor instability
Since I upgraded to 5.5, now and then the script editor cannot be moved. Rather the titlebar becomes a sort of resize tab, as if I clicked and dragged the actual resize tab. So trying to move the script editor window only results in resizing that window.I think it only changes the width, not the actual rect, like the real resize tab would. I cannot reproduce it, but it happens at least two or three times in a session. I can dismiss the window with cmd-W, but this sometimes crashes LC. Anyone else see this? I have to save often to prevent real data loss. Never heard of this before the upgrade.

Re: iOS Control Instantiation problem
That would make sense, but then how come we can pass the right edge of the group (card-relative) as the third parameter? Shouldn't the third param be the width of the group? Yes, *if* you don't want horizontal scrolling with the scroller… here's a good example of how I use it with a Data Grid that has more columns than are visible and (of course) more rows than are visible (grp 1 is my sample Data Grid): iphoneControlSet sScrollerId, rect, the rect of group 1 put sum(the dgProps[column widths] of grp 1) into tContentWidth put (the dgProp[row height] of grp 1) * (the number of elements of the dgData of grp 1) into tContentHeight iphoneControlSet sScrollerId, contentRect, (0, 0, tContentWidth, tContentHeight) Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Browse tool. I give up.
I have been doing this sort of thing for so many years, and still find the simplest things will not work. OK. Someone tell me why I cannot choose the browse tool under script control upon opening a stack in a new session. Wait. Maybe I should write an openstack or opencard handler that has choose browse tool in it. Wait. That does not work. And the funny thing is that I can place all kinds of other stuff, beeps, text loads, whatever, on both or either sides of that line, and though all the other stuff works fine, the tool will still start off as a pointer. I will finally deliver this stack with cantModify set to true, so the problem will go away, but what on earth do I not know in the meantime?

Craig Newman It sounds like you're launching Livecode by opening the stack. The problem is that the stack opens before the IDE is fully loaded and you are attempting to get the IDE to do something it's not ready for. Putting 'choose browse tool' into an openstack handler works fine here, so long as the IDE is open before the stack is opened, but not if I attempt to launch Livecode by opening the stack. Colin's script works, but you might notice the stack opens and when the IDE first opens, it is set to pointer and then switches to browse, which demonstrates the problem.

Is this possible on iOS?
For most of my apps I build a launcher that then loads the actual working stack from a remote location. I assume that's impossible due to Apple's restrictions on loading code remotely. But is it possible to save out a stack from the app locally, allowing it to be saved periodically and loaded locally at startup? ___ 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
