Re: DataGrid question...
I can't write a test handler right now, but I'm thinking you might be able do something like this: repeat for each item i in the tabstops of the field: if the clickH > i and less than item i+1, that's your column The clickline gives you the row.

Re: DataGrid question...
OIC. I was struggling with that earlier today. The problem is, there is no cell. Just a field. You can get the line with the clickLine, but I discovered that even with cell editing on, the table field acted erratically, adding lines when I didn’t want them. Since you know the tabstops, you can calculate where in the field the user clicked, and therefore the “cell”. You will have to do some math though. If the field is horizontally scrolled you will have to take that scroll into account. Honestly it would be better to just have a data grid. That is what I ended up doing.

Re: DataGrid question...
Hi Sean, Sorry, I was thinking you might not need a DG at all. My mistake. Anyway, just to be complete, Bernd’s modTableField API gives you the following: mtfDataItemClicked pColumnClicked, pLineClicked, pItemContent, pGroupName mtfDataItemClicked is send when the user clicks into a data cell. 4 parameters are sent: the number of the column, the number of the line, the content of the cell and the long name of the group. Content of course can be empty if the cell is empty. .Jerry > On Mar 29, 2020, at 8:35 PM, Pi Digital via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Jerry > > Thanks for the heads up about Bernd’s code.

Re: Save stack in HTML5
Colin, Sorry I didn't even notice your message til just now. For persistent data, you're going to need some form of storage. Usually, websites utilise cookies. This is the more security-conscious way of handling it, depending on the data of course. w3school.com/js/js_cookies.asp has good examples on how to do this. So you can call a bit of js from LiveCode to read or write it where necessary. Use sparingly. 'Wait' is documented not to work. The best way to put a 'wait' in place is to split up your handler and use 'send blah to thisScript in x seconds'. 'System date' has no meaning because you are talking entirely to the browser via JS (effectively), not the users' system. The other date forms work fine. What use case do you have that needs the 'system date'? Maybe you could set a user preference for the format if necessary.

Well, sorry but I have to say YES it's largely fake news! :D I'm ill and no strength for an argument (and BTW it has been a fairly "serious" and costly, long-lasting illness I would add; merely glad to have stayed out of hospital) so this will be my last word on the subject but the facts are crystal clear. Images: Well-supported in fields, and for a long time! Working out which cell has been clicked: Sorry, that's not accurate either. Yes, we do have that! Also for a long time. Other objects: That one depends on interpretation. Other standard LC objects dragged in? No. Interactive content that can look and function just like objects to fill the same need? Yes. Often it works great. From checkboxes to charts and tables. I've been very active in this area, and so have others. Not meaning to pick on you, this does not center around you, but it's a good example. Just addressing facts and a general need for accuracy in what we promote. We've had too much misinformation widely spread over the years, and it harms projects when people get their minds filled up with a lot of wrong info and use it to direct their actions and decisions. The field is one such area - greatly underappreciated for its many strengths. Many other areas where we've had untrue facts widely spread and accepted/repeated/learned as truth. Glad this one was caught early. Be safe, everyone...in code quality and in health matters. Bad stuff going around.

Re: Hide stack change focus not supported 64bit
You can certainly use AS to query the frontmost application but I'm guessing as soon as you click the button in your app then your app is it. You can also query the application processes - if they are sorted in order from frontmost to 'rearmost' then maybe you could tell the second process in the list to come to the front? Terry...

I was hoping to avoid using AppleScript but I might have to. The oldest version of LiveCode I have that behaves the way I want is 5.5.5. LiveCode must have changed this after version 5.

Re: Hide stack change focus not supported 64bit
Mark, OK. That makes sense and matches the behavior as my window does hide. However, the Mac doesn’t give any window the focus. My application doesn’t really hide. It just closes the window but staying as the frontmost application. I need my whole application to hide to give the target window which had focus before I clicked the button on my floating window after it hides itself.

If you need to change focus either use "go" or set the defaultstack. The documentation in 9.5.1 says that hide stack is not supported in 64bit. What is the alternative for MacOS X 64bit to temporarily hide my application? I think this is a documentation glitch. All the dictionary references in that last paragraph aren't showing up, so it isn't clear what the nouns are. But "hide" is still supported as far as I know.

Re: Ordering text
I believe it’s sorted (forgive the pun) As the data is stored in an SQLite db I have used the db to sum the values then worked from the top. Like below. This results in approx. 20ms for each sort direction. I have looked into a running total calc using SQLite but the solutions I found seemed rather complicated. Sometimes asking for help then presents a solution.

I believe the reason for the delay comes from the fact that when sorted descending, you put tRec & CR before tCellData.
