Re: how to format text for copy-pasting as a spreadsheet table

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

The best place to start is by analysing the clipBoard data, in this case, copy 
a small table from Pages and then look at the fullClipBoardData[“html”] in 
LiveCode to see how the table is represented as html.

You can then use this as a model to build a table in html and place it on the 
fullClipBoardData[“html”] for pasting into Pages. That’s exactly how I put 
together the sample posted in the forum.

By doing this I could see that to export a soft return in a cell you would need 
to use the HTML  command in place of the return within the cell.

As far as I can see, importing a table (with returns in a cell) info into 
LiveCode is much trickier, mainly because LiveCode doesn’t appear to support 
soft returns within a table cell, so the only way I can see to achieve this 
would probably involve a more complex workaround where each cell would have to 
be represented by a field object.

The part I don’t understand is how you would represent or create this data in 
LiveCode, do you have an example you could share?

Yeah, I got stuck in the middle of something similar.
It's amazing to me that the entire livecode hierarchy (livecode.com,

to see a reasonable explanation from the mothership about what happened

that everything goes through a single gateway with no failover.




Still can't activate a license.

New Wierd Display Bug

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Hi all. 

I have 3 datagrids on a card, one for vendors, one for purchase order master 
records, and a third for po detail records. That's not important now. 

What IS important is that when I attempted to do some work on the card, I 
noticed the header labels for the vendors datagrid were not displaying. 
Refreshing the datagrid does no good. Editing the columns does no good. 
Believing I have another corrupted datagrid, I saved the dgprop columns, column 
labels and widths, then deleted the Vendors datagrid, then added a new 
datagrid, then restored the rect and column properties. All is well. 

I closed the stack then opened it later. This time the PO Master datagrid had 
the same problem but the Vendors datagrid was fine! So I did the same thing 
with the PO Detail datagrid. Next time I opened the stack the vendors and po 
master datagrids were fine, but now the po detail datagrid wasn't 
displaying!

Guess what happened when I fixed the PO detail datagrid? Yup. The Vendors 
datagrid is hosed again! This has *got* to be a display bug!!!

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

Found an interesting behavior.. I was trying to set up a custom control
that keeps track of the current row and column and put the script in the
group, but rawkeyup or rawkeydown messages never reach the group.  I'm
wondering if its because the message is sent to the figmentary popup field
rather than the table field, and that the popup is not part of the group.
But "the target" refers to the table field itself, so i'm not sure thats
whats happening.  Either way.. The following script works when put into a
card or stack, NOT group, and not in the table field itself.  Kinda freaky
that the message is sent, just not to where I expect, despite "the target"
still pointing back at the table field.

on mouseup
   getline
   pass mouseup
end mouseup
on rawkeyup
   getline
   pass rawkeyup
end rawkeyup

command getline
   if the short name of the focusedobject contains "revCell-" then
   put the short name of the focusedobject into tName
   replace "revCell-" with empty in tname
   set the cCol of the target to item 1 of tName
   set the cRow of the target to item 2 of tName
   end if
end getline

Hi Mike,

Thanks! I put the script in the table field itself with no luck. 
But when I moved it to the card script, it works! Great! I never 
would have come up with that in a million years.


This list is fantastic.

Oh, and I just re-named the table field to "Opera"  ;-)

This gives you the name of the editing field that appears for each cell in
the form of:

revCell-2,2

Parse that and voila, you have your info.

Richmond, the issue is with tab and return keyPresses, not mouse clicks.
Anyway, given a table field 1 and another field 2, this works if you tab or
return in the table field:

on rawKeyUp tKey
put the selectedLoc && the selectedChunk into fld 2
pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp

And this works fine in a button:

on mouseUp
set the itemDel to tab
select item 2 of line 2 of fld 1
answer the selectedLine of fld 1
end mouseUp

But this does not in the table field:
on rawKeyDown tKey
put "" into fld 2
put the selectedLine into fld 2
pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown

I always get "line 1 of field 3"  ()

  Kluge city to get the line from the selectedLoc, but that would indeed
work.

Is it that in a table field, if only one "cell" is selected, the
selectedLine just does not compute?

What type of self expanding archive?
There are different versions of stuffit
expander and it might be a disk image
that needs to be mounted.

Macintosh Garden has expanders and
image mounters for just about any type
of archive.  They have a search engine
that will show a lot of applications and
I think they are your best solution.

Without more info thats all I can do.

Re: Mysql load dump

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

mySQLWorkbench has an import/export feature you may be able to use. It's free. 
If you are trying to build this feature into LC, I would attempt the sql syntax 
in an editor on a test database first and see if it generates any errors.

Re: Mysql load dump

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

DOH, I see it in the subject now.

If you can get to a command line where the db server resides, you can use
the mysql client to do the import, or if phpmyadmin is available, you can
use its interface to import the dump.  IIRC livecode doesn't like sending
multi-line sql to mysql (though it works in sqlite) so it might be possible
to parse the file line by line and send each line in sequence.  (No clue
what other hoops you might need to jump through to do this though. )

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

[dunbarx via use-livecode]

The extra field is what I once called a "phantom" field, ephemeral and
elusive. But it does exist:

In a table field script:

on mouseEnter 
   put the number of flds
end mouseEnter

If you move around the table field without a selection, you get 1, If you
click on a "cell" to "select" it, and then move around, you will get "2'.
The 2 comes because you have exited the phantom, and entered the table
field. But the phantom exists as long as the selection does.

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

Hmm. There is a potential issue that would need to be worked around.  The
field name is the same whether one has a single table field or 12.  Perhaps
watching focus changes?  I'm back to thinking there is a property that
tracks which field to update on close of the editing overlay.  For a single
table though, the first idea works great.

Time to poke some more.

a table field ISN'T a single field, its a field bundled with an extra

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

You know, I have given advice many times to people trying to find the
selected field in a DG. The target  is always of the form, for example,
"field Col 3 0005".

But how does the focussedObject return similar data in a table field? The
fact that is does is marvelous indeed, but I never would have found that,
and if I checked the dictionary, i definitely never would have thought of
it.

A table field, after all, is but a single field, and the focusedObject ought
to return a control reference, not a non existent "cell" gizmo.

At the very least, the dictionary should include this valuable variant of
the property. And the user guide should have it in bold.

Re: Mysql load dump

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

If this is sqlite, you might be able to use the .read dot command.. (note
the nearly invisible period that begins .read)

Untested, but this might work.

put "path/to/dump.sql" into tPath
put merge(".dump [[tpath]]") into tSql
revexecutesql tDatabaseId, tsql

If the dump is IN to sqlite, but is from another db (mySQL or whatever) it
might not work.

Oh, if its sqlite and you still have access to the first database file, it
should be possible to a) open the new database, b) attach the old database
and c) copy the tables you need from one to the other, then d) detach the
old database and you should be good to go.

Re: Getting current line number of a table field.

[dunbarx via use-livecode]

You know, this proved more of a problem than I thought.

Richmond, the issue is with tab and return keyPresses, not mouse clicks.
Anyway, given a table field 1 and another field 2, this works if you tab or
return in the table field:

on rawKeyUp tKey
   put the selectedLoc && the selectedChunk into fld 2
   pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp

And this works fine in a button:

on mouseUp
   set the itemDel to tab
   select item 2 of line 2 of fld 1
   answer the selectedLine of fld 1
end mouseUp

But this does not in the table field:
on rawKeyDown tKey
   put "" into fld 2
   put the selectedLine into fld 2
   pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown

I always get "line 1 of field 3"  ()

 Kluge city to get the line from the selectedLoc, but that would indeed
work.

Is it that in a table field, if only one "cell" is selected, the
selectedLine just does not compute?

I was

doing a Masters degree at SIUC Carbondale. It comes as a .cpt.hqx file.

On my iMac PPC G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 and Classic 9.1.2 it expands 
with Stuffit Expander for Mac OS 9 3.5
into a self-expanding archive, at which point I am quite unable to get 
it to expand.


Can anyone help me in this respect?

Richmond.

My bad! I’d doubled up an orientation lock command. All sorted.

iOS sim orientation.

[Pi Digital via use-livecode]

Hi all
Has orientation on the iPad simulator stopped working now? In Xcode 9.1, LC 
8.1.8, iPad ios11. When it rotates the orientation is detected and resizes but 
the display does not rotate. Orientation is unlocked. Any help appreciated.

Aha. Thanks.

I wonder why it was restricted in the first place.

Yes, please do. Panos can't replicate the problem. I *think* I have it
narrowed down to the resize routines in the behavior script, but I haven't
had time yet to delve any deeper.

I *did* find that narrowing the width down to the minimum and then
resizing works better than not, and that seems like a clue.

updating LC on Windows breaks SDK path

[Nicolas Cueto via use-livecode]

A previously working setup for Android development on Windows has suddenly
stopped working. Again!

Twice this has happened. First, back in January, when updating from 8.1.0
to 8.1.8, and now this morning, from 8.1.8 to 8.1.9.

First sign of a problem is I can't point LC 8.1.9 after installation to the
same SDK path that worked fine with LC 8.1.8. The newer LC says it's
invalid.

So, I try to continue my Android work by going back to LC 8.1.8. But I
can't! Because the SDK path there has been erased from Preferences > Mobile.

Why was it erased? It had been working fine for months?!?

Finally, I try to re-enter the EXACT SAME SDK path into LC 8.1.8 -- a path
that I made sure to copy down in a txt file beforehand -- but LC tells me
it's now invalid.

How can a previously working SDK (and JDK) path suddenly be invalid?
Nothing in my Windows setup has changed between 9AM and 12PM.

BTW, on my Mac setup, no problem. I likewise updated to LC8.1.9 this
morning. And though the license can't be activated -- the forums are down
too so maybe there's a server problem at livecode.com -- at least I can
continue my Android work on my Mac because, in LC8.1.8, the SDK path wasn't
erased.

But maybe it will be after activation?!?!?!

Anyway, while I await this magically resolving itself like it did with the
8.1.0 to 8.1.8 change, I thought I'd post here and see if someone can help.

Thanks.

Re: discrepancy between official device metric and LC stack size

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

As my school Maths teacher said, many years ago: "You go into the house 
before going up the stairs."


Although, to be fair, LiveCode is a bit warped insofar as you "go into 
the house, and then down into the cellar."


Best, Richmond.

Probably the area occupied by the status bar is pushing the stack down.
Get "the working screenrect" to find out the actual screen dimensions your
stack can use.

Since every Android device is different, it's usually easier to set the
fullscreenMode to "showAll" and let the LC engine adjust the size.

Livecode.com server down

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

Hi all,

Just tried activating the latest version of LC but the server is apparently
down. Needed to urgently create an iOS standalone for XCode 9.2 but stopped
in my tracks. The downloads page and the whole livecode.com site is not
responding. Sigh. Now need to explain this to my client.

Re: Segmented Control Bugs?

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Thanks, but for now I completely removed it and went back to the "old 
fashioned" way: three buttons in a group
side by side…catch the target. Works like a charm for this use case,  not quite 
as perfect native look and feel on devices, but still looks quite good.

Side thoughts on native look and feel… I sometimes wonder about the huge effort 
going having the entire interface be some perfect match for iOS or 
MaterialDesign. If you are trying to do a utilitarian app, that needs to fit 
that genre of apps, maybe that would be ideal; but I've even started 
deprecating the native picker and use a translucent field or buttons in a 
group, instead, for short sets of choices.

Sometimes the native look and feel doesn't "match" with the look and feel of 
the app. I also don't buy that attitude (I could be wrong) where someone 
comments that "that's not the way apple does it" -- users don't really seem to 
care and we can make it "prettier"  and users actually think that, having it 
work differently is more cool and "lovely"

Fortunately, LC makes this easy.

assistance testing to see if the change corrects your situation, let me
