Re: align field scrolls

​I should've added that the fields do not contain the same number of
lines.  They are identical, though, in size and text properties.

Thanks, Paul.

Re: align field scrolls

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

I have a stack that does a similar thing, but with numbers and I just use the 
following script in the main field;

on scrollBarDrag pScroll
   set the vScroll of fld  “lineNumbers" to pScroll

end scrollBarDrag

Provided both fields have the same number of lines and the text properties are 
identical they should stay aligned correctly.

Or a simpler version would be;
set the vScroll of fld 2 to the vScroll of fld 1

align field scrolls

[Nicolas Cueto via use-livecode]

Hi.

The part I've got working...

Two clickable scrolling fields (fld1, fld2), same height and width. Click a
fld1 line and fld2 SCROLLs and HILITEDLINEs to visually reveal a matching
line. (fld1 is French text, fld2 is an English gloss.)

The part I would welcome your help with...

If, say, the hilited line on fld1 is kinda halfway down, how do I get the
hilited line on fld2 to also be kinda halfway down?

Here's my scrolling-magic script:

  set the scroll of fld2 to (tMatchingLineNr - 1) * \
the textHeight of fld2 - the textHeight of fld2
  set the hilitedline of fld2 to tMatchingLineNr

Of course, this ends up with the hilited line of fld2 being at the top.
How do I get it to scroll just that little bit more so that it aligns with
the hilited line as seen in fld1?


Thank you.

Re: Remote debugger

[Monte Goulding via use-livecode]

Hi Folks

gREVDevelopment is not necessary for the remote debugger to function.

I have create an enhancement report for the remote debugger to automatically 
turn on android internet permissions:
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19370 


The new version of mergDeploy didn’t make DP 5. Hopefully it will make the next 
DP but as I have been off for a week I’m not sure if work is complete on that 
and it will be in the one after. This will enable the IDE to recognise attached 
iOS devices and the Test button to install apps onto them. The only difference 
to Android is you need to tap the app icon on the device to start it running.

Cheers

Monte

Thanks Jim.

A right-click toggles the text field between being editable-text or a
movable block of text, but there are no resize handles on the text field.
The image, however, has resize handles.

When text and image overlap, I use the mousechar to figure out the user's
intent. (If the user clicked on  blank space, I treat that as an image click
and pass the click through to the image control to make it movable. If the
user clicked on headline text or the space between words, then the text
block becomes movable.)

I narrowed my original issue down to this: "grab" doesn't work for a
mousedown that is passed through to another object. So I bailed on "grab"
and I'm using the mouseStillDown message to make either the text or image
follow the mouse until released.

Spent way to much time on this!

Thanks to all for your suggestions.
Tom

Re: ouch: the beginning of the end

[Alejandro Tejada via use-livecode]

Using the free command line utility PDFTK,
I could fill a pdf with interactive fields using
just a text file formatted as a fdf document
(that you could generate with LiveCode).
Tested and works in Windows and Ubuntu Linux.
Could you test if this works on MacOSX?

pdftk.exe C:\PDFwithForms.pdf fill_form C:\data.fdf output FilledPDF.pdf
flatten

There are many samples of PDF and matching FDF files inside
these compressed folders from Adobe:

Re: UI design problem

[Jim Lambert via use-livecode]

Food for thought.

Presumably text in the field is editable by the user.
Therefore the field text cannot be locked and mousedowns will be used for text 
selection rather than grabbing of the entire field, correct?

Is the field user resizable? If so, do you present the user with dotted border 
and resize handles?
Could clicking on the field’s (or image’s) border trigger the grab rather than 
a click within its content area?
