Sorting issue in a datagrid
Bonjour, I have a data grid (table) with 3 columns, forty lines (currently). When clicking on the header of column 1 or column 3 all is working well (the lines are sorted as expected) But, when clicking on the header of column 2, only the 8 first lines remain (correctly sorted). All the other lines disappear! Now, if I sort column 1 and then I sort again column 2, only 3 lines are remaining in the datagrid! For a couple of hours I tried to find what was wrong in my setting ; changed the header of column 2, built a brand new data grid, … but with no avail! I am lost First time I get such an issue in a data grid. any idea on what could be happening would be very much appreciated Best regards André ___ 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: multi-line constants? (for RSA keys)
Really? Has this changed? I remember a thread some time ago where it was stated that a substack can be extracted as is from a compiled project and run in the IDE. Granted, if the stacks are password protected, it would be very difficult to get to the code, but they are not “compiled” the way the mainstack is. It was my impression that the mainstack gets *glued* together with the runtime engine and is not accessible in the same way the substacks are, which are merely included in a subfolder or in the case of OS X, in the package. Is this no longer the case? Or have I simply misunderstood all this time?

Re: What does compile error rotate: error in angle description mean?
Hi James,
I haven't seen that error but I have successfully loaded and used an SQLite
extension. The extension is available at
http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/SQLiteExtension/ and has a bunch of new
string and math functions in it. It's not free but has a demo version.
The only difference between your code and mine is that I use
revDataFromQuery rather than revExecuteSQL. I know that you get a
revdberror back from that if there's something wrong with the
load_extension call - I had a typo in the filename initially which resulted
in an error.
Also, the error message is curious since it says it's a compile error, but
you got it at runtime. Could it be an issue with whatever extension you
are trying to load?

Hi,
I am starting to get this error when running my scripts:
compile error rotate: error in angle description
Which if I was doing anything remotely graphical I could perhaps
understand.
But I am not doing anything to do with angles or rotation.
The most recent example of getting this error was with the following
handler:
On loadextension
Put getDatabaseID() into tDatabaseID
put specialfolderpath(documents)/sqlite test/okapi_bm25.sqlext into
the_extension
put SELECT load_extension('the_extension') into tSQL
revExecuteSQL tDatabaseID, tSQL
End loadextension
Stepping through the handler the error only comes up on executing the
revExecuteSQL command.
I connected with the database using the new syntax enabling the loading of
extensions yet it does seem as if the database call is having some
difficulty.
Two questions I guess.
1. Anyone had this error message when not doing anything with rotations?
If so, did you discover what it meant?
2. anyone had luck on loading extensions to SQLite?
Perplexed,
James

This is the standard way substacks work. All stacks in a standalone are part of the same file on disk and received the same protection. However, there is a checkbox in standalone settings that allows you to save out substacks as separate files during the build. If you choose to do that, then they are no longer substacks, they are removed from the file and turned into individual document stacks. Those are the same as any other stack you'd use during development and as such, they are no longer part of your app. They're just loose in the folder (or in the bundle on Macs) and can be opened by anyone with a copy of LiveCode, no tricks required. The scripts will be obscured if the stack is password protected but everything else, including properties, will be accessible because it's just a plain old stack now. So if you want the same protection you'd get in the mainstack, just make sure you don't have that checkbox selected. -- 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

Re: very, very slow on Mac Mini
On all three have Activity Monitor available and see what the numbers are for CPU and Memory; not just the raw numbers but also the relative ranking. Is the Mac Mini only occasionally used, is there a possibility that Spotlight was in the middle of a massive index - process mdworker - which was notorious on Lion and Mountain Lion for slowing Time Machine into a multi-day exercise. Was Time Machine doing it's thing, or any other back-up software. Again, if this is an occasionally turn on machine is it possible that all the Auto-Update features are On (they typically are by default) and it was downloading a bunch of updates and installing them? I have a mid 2011 Mac Mini with 8 GB Ram and Lion 10.7.5 and my stacks run the same as my mid 2012 MBP 15 Retina with 16 GB and Mavericks 10.9.2.

Re: how to sort lines with a $ amount
I would employ a dual-system where the displayed values are just a display and the 'real' values to be sorted would be in a custom property of the field. The display field could be refreshed as needed after calculation. LC is so fast one shouldn't worry about speed issues with this. another way would be a narrow field that could just show the dollar signs with the same font, but alignment would be a bigger issue..

I can sort the lines of the field just fine on word 1 (date), word 2 (name) and word 3 (number) But when I try to sort on word 4, I don't know how to get it to come out right because the $ in front makes it a string and not a number. So I get something like this: $11.00 $120.00 $47.00 When what I want is: $11.00 $47.00 $120.00 Thanks in advance for any enlightenment!

You can sort using a custom function and that's what I'd do here. If the values are in field 1, then: on mouseUp sort lines of fld 1 numeric by moneySort(each) end mouseUp function moneySort pItem if char 1 of pItem = $ then delete char 1 of pItem return pItem end moneySort Custom function sorting can do all kinds of clever things. The each is passed to the function and the sort uses the return value to determine the final order. -- 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

points vs rect of a graphic
I have a graphic that doesn't want to be visible. Its visible is true. Its backColor is black. It is the topmost object. Its lineSize is 1. I've tried everything I can think of, and it still doesn't show up. Here's the weird part: put the rect of grc id 1557 of stack revnavigator 1 cr the points of grc id 1557 of stack revnavigator 1 That's putting this: 8,192,235,199 0,73 3,75 222,75 225,73 225,78 222,76 3,76 0,78 0,73 Is it possible for the rect and the points to be in disagreement like that? The lockLoc is false. And now for the solution: set the points of grc id 1557 of stack revnavigator 1 to the points of grc id 1557 of stack revnavigator 1 That made it pop into view. Any ideas?

Re: points vs rect of a graphic
Geoff: If your point list really has spaces in it like below, you've essentially got a bunch of disconnected points. If you set the linesize to a higher number, you'd see the points come into view. I seem to recall back in the day you were the one who discovered the spaces-in-a-list-of-points aspect about (at the time) Revolution. In one sense, the behavior is weird, but there are some useful ways to take advantage of the feature.

Or Trevor, maybe you could? You seem to know what's wrong. I need this fixed but I'm not sure what to say. I don't have things set up to properly to file a bug report on this. I just know what might be going on under the hood as I previously added support for PAC and WPAD detection to the GLX Ap Framework version of libURL. Based on what Nakia describes it sounds like LiveCode is not picking up the system assigned PAC file. Based on the 6.6 release notes it should so I would report a bug: LibURL has been updated to add support for proxy auto configuration files (PAC). If no global proxy server has been set using the HTTPProxy property, when fetching a URL, LibURL will attempt to parse the systems .pac file in order to extract the proxy server (if any) to use for the given URL. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems www.screensteps.com-www.clarify-it.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 COPYRIGHT / DISCLAIMER: This message and/or including attached files may contain confidential proprietary or privileged information.
