Re: iOS - picking from a scrolling list

Hi Tom,

Sorry I didn't see your response until now. That, in fact, is what I did to
deal with the situation. Thanks.

Serial Port Access

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi all. 

Has anyone written a serial port library? I would be happy to pay for it. What 
I want to do is replace our call accounting software with something I write. We 
don't need much, just departmentalized reports for charge backs, so I can do 
that pretty simply in LC, but I am not very hip on serial communications. 

I guess what I am looking for is something I can "turn on" and get the serial 
data coming in from a 9 pin coming from our phone system. I can parse the data 
as I get it. I just need a serial library that handles the connection and reads 
the data.

OK. Now *that's* pretty clever. As long as there's a "whatever"

you would want multiple "whatever" controls on the same card...



There may or may not be multiples, but I was responding to why we'd want 
same-named controls in the stack. If we were able to assign icons by 
image name, we could only have one image of that name to be sure of an 
accurate ID.


I used to use same-named buttons on a card actually, but that was a 
HyperCard holdover. I use labels or properties now.

Hi Tim,

I am about to release it. I haven't tested it with RevMedia but I think it
should work. It is targeted at SQLite. Unicode UTF-16 is the internal TEXT
format for unicode so I expect that it should work. I don't do any
translation. What you pass into the array, is what ends up in the database.

Problem with textshift

[Peter Haworth]

I'm using the textshift property to align icons inserted by setting the
imagesource of a character in a line of text.  All the development work was
done using 5.5 and all worked fine.  Recently, I ran the application on 5.0
and setting the textshift had no effect.

This is probably not a very commonnly used property but wondering if anyone
else has seen this?  Not sure if it's worth submitting a bug since it now
works as of 5.5.

The line of code in question is:

**

*set the imagesource of char x+1 of line pline of field "Objects" totImageID
*

*set* the textshift of char x+1 of line pline of field "Objects" to 4


stepping through the code, the image appears after the first line is
executed but does not move when the second line is executed.

Re: What was that thing with Photoshop images?

[Peter Haworth]

I guess there are cases where I too use controls with the same name.  The
most obvious one is labels.  99% of the time, I never need to address
labels in a script in any way so I let the default name of "Label" stand.

I'm also OK with duplicate names for different types of controls (field,
button, etc) or if the two controls are the same type but in different
groups.  In either case, the control can be identified uniquely by name.

Thanks for logging the issues on bitbucket. If you log in rather than
doing it anonymously you can get notified when there are changes. In
that case you would notice that 2) is already there and that 1) is
working for me. We could take that offline and wouldn't have to use up

This might be due to the wrong mode for the thread you are on.  Look at how you

Thread problems can be fickle, so just because something seems to work once

less confusing alternative:

if the short name of img x begins with "temp" then...

better yet, start with the images in a group. Then you just

delete group "imageGroup"

One line of code and no confusion about multiple controls with the
same name.

Thanks, Mike. Safely ignoring the error might be a solution. We are looking 
into that now.

Re: Versioning ( was ANN: GLX2 3.0.10)

Hey that is a great tip! I used to use an old OS 9 utility to do something 
similar between old and new code bases.

 the same basic thing but has some code to "safely ignore the error"

 The documents also say it refers to the fact that a thread mode can't be

It would be easy to write a handler that dose what you want. Something like 
this (untested):

on assignBtnImage tName, tBtnLongID
   put the long id of the target into stackName
   set the itemdelimiter to "/"
   delete item 1 to -2 of stackName
   delete word 1 of stackName
   replace quote with empty in stackName
   repeat with n = 1 to the number of images of stack stackName
  if the short name of image n of stack stackName = tName then
 set the icon of tBtnLongID to the short id of image n of stack 
stackName
  end if
   end repeat
end assignBtnImage

Assuming images are all in the current stack -- and no duplicate image names, 
of course.

I may have an error or two in this, but you see the basic idea….

Externals and COM objects

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

We have made an external that uses COM objects. Now we get the following error 
when running the external:

Failed to initialize COM library. Error code = 0x80010106

Does this look familiar to anyone? Is anyone aware of problems with COM 
components and LiveCode? Any solutions?

[OT] Game Design Competition

[Rod McCall]

We are running a game design competition as part of an EC research
project, if you are interested please check out the info and link
below. Also there is a chance LiveCode will be used for the mobile
apps, if you'd like that to be the case then why not come up with some
cool design?:)

The LiveCity project announces an open competition for the design of a
mixed reality gaming experience that will connect the cities of Athens
and Luxembourg! The aim is to bring the people in both cities closer
together through the concept of serious gaming. The competition is
open to anyone aged over 18 residing in any country and you can submit
either individually or as a team. Groups of museum curators, students,
game designers or just those with an interest are welcome to enter.
The winner of the competition will be announced publicly and this is
an ideal opportunity to raise your profile in the mixed reality,
gaming and research communities.
Competition Information:

http://www.livecity-psp.eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=75&Itemid=76

Deadline: 1st September 2012

Re: Simple script doesn't work

[Chipp Walters]

There could be several reasons. The IDE might be eating the messages on
startup-- or getting in the way somehow. The engine might have a timing
issue. There may be an error thrown and not trapped. There could be other
code executing in your stack doing something else and getting in the way.
There could be frontscripts, backscripts, libraries, revLibs, etc..

There IS a reason, it just could take the better part of a day to track it
down sometimes. It might work in standalone mode and not the IDE. Really
frustrating is trying to debug this sort of behavior on mobile devices!

Most of us know the 'send in 0 seconds' trick Mark kindly shared. I guess
we quit asking questions years ago ;-)
