Re: clickability in a DataGrid
Thanks, Peter Craig. It appears, Craig, that your solution is just the ticket. With your mouseUp handler in the group script, if I click on a column in the sixth row of the grid, I get the following parseable output: field [column name] 0006 Exactly what I need. Thanks. Minor sidebar question, which isn't remotely relevant for the stack in question: Does this mean DataGrids are limited to rows? Sieg Lindstrom On Jan 22, 2013, at 7:21 PM, Craig Newman wrote: Hi. There are a few ways to do this.

Alas, I spoke too soon. The output on this handler correctly identifies the column by column name but the four digit integer that follows does not correspond to the row number.

Moving focus between fields
I want the tab key to move the cursor between the fields of a group. I want to restrict this action to that group. Furthermore, when the focus is on the last field in the group, I want the tab key to return the focus to the first field of the group. At first, with the focus on the last field, the tab key focused on a field in a hidden group. Hitting the tab key multiple times eventually returns the focus to the first field in the desired group. However, if I turn the focusable of all hidden fields off and try again, the tab key in the last field does not return the focus to the first field. And repeatedly hitting the tab key never brings the focus back to the first field in the group. What am I missing here? By the way - I usually solve most problems by studying the relevant entries in the the dictionary. But the dictionary doesn't work anymore, that is the dictionary appears with no content/entries? How can I get my dictionary back?

Hej Klaus, Many thanks for the tip and the link to the datagrid manual as PDF. I used too much shorthand in describing my desire to edit the content of the row. I'm trying to duplicate an admin tool that runs in Javascript on a server. The Javascript is a black box to me; I'm just trying to duplicate the functionality, so I don't want the user to have to edit rows in the datagrid, but rather select a row to edit, and then the editing will take place on a different card set up to mimic fields and buttons in the old admin tool.

Re: More about audio-video
I think poor Jacque is in one of those situations where the requirements for her project are self contradictory. An extreme example might be if someone wanted me to write a game that was completely portable, and required advanced 3D graphics capabilities, but had to work without requiring the use of a 3D graphics card. I would have to find a polite way to say, You people are out of your minds. To say it needs to be portable, play audio and video, and you cannot require the installation of any software is perhaps a bridge to far. Does any other development environment have the capability to natively embed audio and video codecs in a portable app and use them even if they are not installed in a system?

Re: Moving focus between fields
Can't you just set the traversal of all other objects to false? This will prevent the other objects from receiving the focus, which is what tabbing actually does. An easy way to accomplish this is to show all hidden objects on a card, enable select grouped controls, select all, pull up the property inspector, turn off traversal, select only the objects in your group, turn on traversal, hide objects again. As with all my advice, use at your own peril. :-) Bob On Jan 23, 2013, at 4:50 AM, Lars Brehmer wrote: I want the tab key to move the cursor between the fields of a group. I want to restrict this action to that group. Furthermore, when the focus is on the last field in the group, I want the tab key to return the focus to the first field of the group. At first, with the focus on the last field, the tab key focused on a field in a hidden group. Hitting the tab key multiple times eventually returns the focus to the first field in the desired group. However, if I turn the focusable of all hidden fields off and try again, the tab key in the last field does not return the focus to the first field. And repeatedly hitting the tab key never brings the focus back to the first field in the group. What am I missing here?

Re: XFS: RevServer, web hosts, and you
Richard, Thanks for this useful (and strategic in about preventing problems) HOWTO alert. Pierre Le 22 janv. 2013 à 20:33, Richard Gaskin a écrit : I recently had occasion to learn a bit more about file systems than I had intended, and will share what I've learned here because it may affect some RevServer or Rev CGI installations on third-party hosts: PROBLEM: Some file I/O operations fail under XFS Dreamhost and some other web hosting companies have begun rolling out new servers which use the XFS file system. XFS is said to have better performance than EXT3 and even EXT4 used on most Linux systems, but apparently this comes with a risk of compatibility issues. With LiveCode I've found two specific issues, though there may be others: 1. put url (file:PathToLocalFile) This fails, with sysError reporting 75. Oddly, using open.../read.../close... works fine. 2. put the files This also fails, always returning empty even when you know there are files there. While researching this I found some comments in the RealBASIC list archives suggesting that the RB engine also has problems with the XFS file system, so this is not solely a LiveCode issue. In fact, it seems there may be a few other programs that have also experienced problems with XFS. DIAGNOSIS - You can determine which file system your host is using by logging into the system via SSH and running this command: df -T This will produce a columnar output which lists the various volumes and their file systems available to your account. Note the second column on the line for /home (often the last line of the output). It's usually either EXT3, EXT4, or XFS. If it's XFS you may want to try a quick script to verify that your system is having the same limitations I had, either attempting to get a list of files using the files or reading a local file using put url REMEDY: Short-term -- If your system is using XFS, the quickest short-term solution is to ask your web hosting company to move your account to a system that is both 32-bit compatible and also uses either EXT3 or EXT4. With Dreamhost, it took a little back-and-forth via email, but as with the RealBASIC user I'd come across they eventually offered to move my accounts to a compatible system. Hopefully your web host will be able to do the same. REMEDY: Long-term - With the apparent growing popularity of XFS on web servers, clearly any long-term solution will require a version of the LiveCode engine which is compatible with XFS. I've been using my Dev Program Quick Incident benefits to enlist the assistance of David Williams at RunRev, who's been enormously helpful in going through the code to try to pinpoint the underlying cause. His diagnosis is still ongoing at the moment, and as I learn more I'll report back. If we're lucky we'll find that there are alternative API calls that RunRev could use for XFS which will take care of this. If so, we can then expect a future version of LiveCode to be compatible with XFS. We may also find that the issue may be a bug in the driver or other component in the system, in which case we'll have to monitor progress on that and see how it goes. Hopefully one way or another we'll have a good long-term solution in place soon. The RunRev team is putting in an admirable effort toward this, and in the meantime if you experience file I/O issues on your web server and can verify that your host is using XFS, you may want to contact your hosting company to see if they can move your account to a machine using a different file system. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys ___ 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 -- Pierre Sahores mobile : 06 03 95 77 70 www.sahores-conseil.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

Challenging new property inspector in LC6 dp4
Rather than get any real work done this evening, I've been dutifully trying to describe a bunch of issues with the property inspector in LC6.0 dp4 through the quality control center. However, the last straw was the QCC demanding in bold letters on a blood red background that A value must be set for the 'Desktop OS' field. when there was no such field on the preceding form, try as I might to find it. And if that data is missing, why can't it ask, What is your desktop OS? It's not like there are that many required fields. And I had already recorded that info in my report. If anyone knows where to enter my desktop OS, please let me know. I looked in a lot of places in the QCC, didn't see it. So, here's my list of problems with the PI. If anyone knows how to circumvent them, please share. Anyone who can get this to RunRev's attention please feel free, I need to invest my time elsewhere at this point. And please, RunRev, can the feedback loop be a little more gracious? REPORT The LC 6.0 dp4 new property inspector is practically unusable for me in multiple regards: 1. Any object selected with the pointer tool changes content of the new property inspector, but I cannot use the pointer tool to browse or adjust anything in the new property inspector, I just wind up selecting objects in the inspector. So I try switching to the browse tool, and the new property inspector immediately changes focus to inspect itself: stack idePropertyInspector. It seems to work to pointer-click an object in my stack, pointer-click a field in the inspector, and then choose the browse tool. The inspector then displays information about the last selected object in my stack (even though that object is now deselected), and it is possible to browse. 2. If it is closed, the new property inspector pops up with every object selection using the pointer tool, and gets in front of the stack I am trying to edit. In fact, if I point at an object in my stack so that the new property inspector comes to the fore, and then go to the tools palette and double click on a button, the newly created button will appear in the property inspector, not my stack. This is extremely unexpected and disconcerting, especially given how hard it is to get the inspector out of the way for any length of time. Shouldn't it be acting more like a palette and less like a stack in development? 3. I have not found a way to suppress the new property inspector: it appears, in front of my stack, with any double click of the pointer tool, and with any single click of the pointer tool if the inspector has been closed. If this is going to be released, opting for the old property inspector needs to be an setting, IMO. 4. On one occasion that I cannot reproduce yet, turning on suppress messages and then clicking on an object caused a function call to ideMessagesSuppress() to hang with an effective freeze of Livecode - unresponsive to command-period, quit, escape, etc. I had to force-quit LiveCode, although it was still responsive in the opinion of the Activity Monitor. I often have freezes that appear related to browsing the documentation or manipulating the new property inspector but that can be escaped with control-period to abort some script. This was different. 5. A lot of the text settings in the new prop inspector change the settings of all of the fields in the prop inspector, which is very effective visual feedback, but I don't know that I want all of the labels and contents in the new PI struck through just because I want the field in my stack to display struck through text, for instance. These behaviors were not an issue for me with LC 6 dp1, the version I had been using until today. There are still issues with forcing custom property saves after manual edits of the old property inspector.

Re: Challenging new property inspector in LC6 dp4

However, the last straw was the QCC demanding in bold letters on a blood red background that A value must be set for the 'Desktop OS' field. when there was no such field on the preceding form, try as I might to find it. And if that data is missing, why can't it ask, What is your desktop OS? It's not like there are that many required fields. And I had already recorded that info in my report. If anyone knows where to enter my desktop OS, please let me know. I looked in a lot of places in the QCC, didn't see it. So, here's my list of problems with the PI. If anyone knows how to circumvent them, please share. Anyone who can get this to RunRev's attention please feel free, I need to invest my time elsewhere at this point. And please, RunRev, can the feedback loop be a little more gracious? REPORT The LC 6.0 dp4 new property inspector is practically unusable for me in multiple regards: 1. Any object selected with the pointer tool changes content of the new property inspector, but I cannot use the pointer tool to browse or adjust anything in the new property inspector, I just wind up selecting objects in the inspector. So I try switching to the browse tool, and the new property inspector immediately changes focus to inspect itself: stack idePropertyInspector. It seems to work to pointer-click an object in my stack, pointer-click a field in the inspector, and then choose the browse tool. The inspector then displays information about the last selected object in my stack (even though that object is now deselected), and it is possible to browse. 2. If it is closed, the new property inspector pops up with every object selection using the pointer tool, and gets in front of the stack I am trying to edit. In fact, if I point at an object in my stack so that the new property inspector comes to the fore, and then go to the tools palette and double click on a button, the newly created button will appear in the property inspector, not my stack. This is extremely unexpected and disconcerting, especially given how hard it is to get the inspector out of the way for any length of time. Shouldn't it be acting more like a palette and less like a stack in development? 3.

Re: Mobile Browser overlays
I will use a native input object and set to read-only. Is the layer position determined solely by the order they are created? Yep And I guess there is no transparency possible either. Yes, backgroundColor has an alpha channel.
