Re: Keyboard Shortcuts in Menus

Re: hair-pulling frustration
I agree. I have always felt that RunRev should occasionally hire one or two people for beta-testing. They could test new releases before they are labelled pre-release. This would cost only a little money and safe hundreds, if not thousands of people lots of frustrations. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 11/11/2014 20:25, Dr. Hawkins wrote: I can't help but wonder what it would take to get runrev to follow normal practice and actually get something to alpha level before calling it a developer preview, beta by a release candidate (ok, that still wouldn't be normal), and working rather than early beta before release. If I sold something at these stages, I'd be out of business by sundown. Do the developers even pretend to use the IDE before slapping release candidate on it? Do they even have some kind of test suite? The sheer number of pieces of working code that have broken when going from 5.5 to 7.0 is beyond belief, as is the giant step backward in the IDE. I used to have to kill livecode frequently for the phantom shadow variable problem. While that happens more often under 6 (which is why I could never use it) and 7, I now usually have to kill the whole thing before that happens, as I can't get it to set a breakpoint, or even acknowedge that I've clicked anything, delays of several seconds, and so forth. In addition to the others I've mentioned here an in other recent posts, the recompile of sqlite is not quite compatible with the old, and behaves differently. For example, a semicolon at the end of an entry without begin/end transaction now causes a parsing error. Moving forward is one thing, but the only near release grade version is 5.x, which itself isn't quite ready for primetime. OK, I'll stop venting, but the amount of time I'm losing to bugs that never should have seen a public preview is getting increasingly frustrating. ___ 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

Almost everything else just stops and you are in a state of suspension while the engine waits for debugging to finish. The solution is to hit the blue square to stop debugging, or to hit the Run button to execute the rest of the handler, and everything picks up again. I've never seen the IDE freeze up outside of that situation. What works, however, is far more limited than in 5.5. The freezes I see include while editing or scrolling, when it freezes for 2-5 seconds before accepting clicks or keys, and just plain locking up *after* exiting debugging and refusing evermore to make any changes, requiring a restart of livecode. -- Dr. Richard E.

Re: New SQLite binary option
Thanks Kay. I reported this as a bug but turns out to be a misunderstanding on the use of revDatabaseColumnNamed. Courtesy of Mark Waddingham, it turns out that if you are getting binary data from the cursor, you need to use the form of revDatabaseColumnNamed that includes the destination variable in the call, eg: get revDatabaseColumnNamed(tCursor,BlobColumn,tData) The form put revDatabaseColumnNamed into tData because the transfer into tData stops at the first NULL character. That is mentioned in the dictionary so my bad for not checking first.

Re: revExecuteSQL Security
Hi Dan, For any calls that access a remote database, you should use the form that includes :1, :2, etc in the SQL statement and variable name(s) to supply the values for those placeholders. That protects against SQL injection attacks and also removes the need to escape quote characters in your data.

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts in Menus
Looks like, from playing with the Menu Builder that whatever key the precedes will be the hotkey in Windows. Of course, it needs to be unique for that menu button. If that is not working (by holding the Alt button and typing the key) then that is probably some kind of bug, unless you have keydown or keyup handlers that might intercept the keypresses. The character that the / precedes is the OS X shortcut. I find the menu builder quite good now. Initially back in Revolution 2.x it caused me a lot of problems. It could under certain circumstances corrupt the menu and make it unusable, but now I find it very reliable. Bob S On Nov 11, 2014, at 07:32 , Graham Samuel livf...@mac.com wrote: I'm using LC 7.0.1. Looking at both the LC User Guide and the Dictionary, I find that I don’t exactly understand the way you put keyboard shortcuts into menus and get them to activate, especially on Windows. I note for example: 1. The ‘’ character is always present in a menu item which is also intended to work as a keyboard shortcut, but it isn’t always at the beginning of the menu’s text. Is there are reason for this, or is it just wilful eccentricity on the part of the Menu Builder? 2. In a cross platform app, I use a script at startup to switch the last item of my 'File' menu from the Mac’s ‘Quit’ text Quit/Q to the Windows equivalent Exit/x This looks OK on the menu item display, but I don't think this works, even though the standard shortcuts (Cut, Copy, Paste) work in the 'Edit' menu, and they don't look any different in form. Naturally I may just have made a silly mistake, but so far I can't see what it is. Can anyone explain what is going on behind the scenes? BTW, I don't especially care for the Menu Builder, but it seems that the LC documentation assumes one is going to use it - maybe that's why the documentation is a bit sketchy.

I guess the title is hard to describe what I am trying to do. Assume a user makes a selection by selecting a choice in a drop down list. Based on the selection the associated line in the datagrid is located. But the datagrid has 100+ lines and only shows 12 lines at a time unless scrolled and the associated line (in this example it is line number 37). I would like the datagrid to show line number 37 in the visible rows at row 6... in other words it looks like the datagrid was scrolled down to line 37 (keeping the order of the rows the same). The datagrid doesn't have to visibly scroll just show the selected row (37) at the position of the 6th row in the visible table with the rows on either side of it. I understand if you have questions about this question :-) regards, Glen ___ 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

No. Or, is it just really intended for local databases? That's more the case. Any database worth talking about will deliberately make you go out of your way to shoot yourself in the foot. The more correct way to do this is to have a service running on the server that acts as a secure buffer between the database and the outside world. -- -Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com This communication may be unlawfully collected and stored by the National Security Agency (NSA) in secret.

externals for mac
I repost this forum post which has no answer at this time: I am interested in building externals for the mac. Since the switch to a more cocoa friendly version of livecode, has the externals SDK been updated (I mean desktop, not iOS)? I specifically need 64 bit support for scientific computations, and I would like to use the accelerate framework, which is optimized for multicore processors. In short, mac externals are still carbon or can they use cocoa? Does anyone care about desktop externals anymore?

Re: hair-pulling frustration
Any positive value is higher than zero, so sure. I'm just expressing frustration about barriers to reporting bugs. For example, a login is required to file a bug, and the bug submission form all but requires an example stack. I understand the desire to get clear, actionable bug reports, and I understand the need to not waste limited team resources on bad bug reports, but if the requirements are causing Jacque to fail to report a bug, that's a huge issue.

Re: hair-pulling frustration
WINE has an interesting release model: https://www.winehq.org/ Every 2 weeks, dead on time, they release another beta version, and whenever (and 'whenever' can mean anything between 2 weeks to 2 years) they release a stable version. The beta versions are labelled like this: 1.7.1, 1.7.2 and so on. The stable releases always have an even number in second place, so 1.6, 1.8 etc. They advise anybody except for nutty fruitcakes like myself to stick with the stable releases and explicitly state that they accept NO responsibility for anything the beta versions may do.
