RE: PDF Widget
I have used pdfjs on Android. When the URL of the page ends in PDF then you download it(if not on local device already). You can view the PDF via pdfjs in the browser widget. It does not work on desktop locally because browsers can't access local files. I tested in the IDE using a web server.

Re: IOS required SDK
Thanks to both you and Scott. I'm still unsure how to proceed. There is really only one 32-bit app I need to maintain and I have an ancient MacBook Air that is stuck at Mac OS High Sierra. I could move the app there and update my main working Mac to Big Sur. My main concern is that the Air will fail and I'll lose all the accumulated data. Maybe I'll keep good backups and pray. If it does bite the dust I'll move to a VM with Mojave on it. In my case I don't use the app often enough to make that an inconvenience. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On April 23, 2021 6:33:43 PM Paul Dupuis via use-livecode wrote: No need to partition drives with VMs. You *do* need a good chunk of free disk space, for example for Catalina, you probably want a minimum of a 50GB "drive" (a VM file on disk) and for Big Sur, I went to 100GB, but I have a 1TB hard disk. We also have a MacMini here with a bunch of external USB disk drives and a ton of partitions each with a different macOS from 10.9 up to 10.15, but rebooting to a different macOS version for testing is a pain in the butt compared to VMs. All you really need is (1) VirtualBox for macOS and (2) installation file(s) for the macOS's you want to install. For current and most recent OS, these can usually be downloaded from the Apple Developer site. For anything older, you have to do some hunting as Apple does not have an archive of older version of macOS for developers (that I can find!) It is easiest if the installer for macOS is an .iso disk image. Then you run VirtualBox, create a new VM, set it for macOS, create a disk of the suitable size. Mount the .iso image file as a "virtual" disc drive and start it up and follow the macOS install instructions. (there is devils in the details, but that really is the jist) On 4/23/2021 5:43 PM, J.

I do macOS development under Mojave and only use the Catalina and/or Big Sur VMs for testing or builds (if for some reason I need to check a build under one of those OSes.

Re: Dynamic scripted nested array keys?
Thanks Brian this conversion to pPath to an array of keys hit the nail on the head. So, for anyone else looking to show the (full non-truncated) content of a node in a read-only Tree widget in a tooltip, by clicking the actionInspect icon, is… on actionInspect pPath put the arrayData of widget "Tree" into aContent -- get the Tree's data split pPath by comma -- convert pPath from list to an array of keys set the tooltip of widget "Tree" to aContent[pPath] -- the current Tree node's content end actionInspect Thanks too Jaque, Paul, Bob & Henry for playing! :-) Best, Keith > On 24 Apr 2021, at 14:31, Brian Milby via use-livecode > wrote: > > I guess I should reply to myself and say why this works.

Re: Dynamic scripted nested array keys?
Easiest way is to use split... Given a tree widget this will take a path from field 1 and put the value at that path in field 2 on mouseUp pMouseButton local tTree, tLoc put the arrayData of widget 1 into tTree put field 1 into tLoc split tLoc by comma put tTree[tLoc] into field 2 end mouseUp Thanks, Brian On Sat, Apr 24, 2021 at 9:06 AM Paul Dupuis via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > I have only partially been following this thread, but if you need to > find the array 'content' in an arbitrary nested array from a comma > delimited path of array keys, recursion is the way to do it: > > function fetchArrayContentFromPath pArray,pPath >-- pArray is an array >-- pPath is a comma delimited 'path' of array keys to the desired > content >local tKey >if pArray is not an array then > return pArray -- I have reached the content, so return that content >else if pPath is empty then > return pArray -- should not happen in a tree widget, but this is if > the path ends in an array instead of the content of an array element >else > put item 1 of pPath into tKey -- get the key of element in the > currnet path > delete item 1 of pPath-- remove it from the current path, > so the path is the next set of key(s) > return fetchArrayContentFromPath(pArray[tKey],pPath) - recursively > fetch the remainig keys from the currnet array element >end if > end fetchArrayContentFromPath > > It will not matter is the 'path' is key1,key1 or > key1,key2,key3,key4,key5,key6,key7, or whatever. > > > On 4/24/2021 7:10 AM, Keith Clarke via use-livecode wrote: > > Hi folks, > > Inspired by Jaque’s (working - thank you!) response to my question “Show > Tree widget row contents on hover” I’ve isolated the final piece of that > puzzle that leaves me baffled. > > > > Specifically, can LiveCode accept a dynamically built key for a nested > multi-dimensional array?

Re: Dynamic scripted nested array keys?
I have only partially been following this thread, but if you need to find the array 'content' in an arbitrary nested array from a comma delimited path of array keys, recursion is the way to do it: function fetchArrayContentFromPath pArray,pPath -- pArray is an array -- pPath is a comma delimited 'path' of array keys to the desired content local tKey if pArray is not an array then return pArray -- I have reached the content, so return that content else if pPath is empty then return pArray -- should not happen in a tree widget, but this is if the path ends in an array instead of the content of an array element else put item 1 of pPath into tKey -- get the key of element in the currnet path delete item 1 of pPath -- remove it from the current path, so the path is the next set of key(s) return fetchArrayContentFromPath(pArray[tKey],pPath) - recursively fetch the remainig keys from the currnet array element end if end fetchArrayContentFromPath It will not matter is the 'path' is key1,key1 or key1,key2,key3,key4,key5,key6,key7, or whatever.

Specifically, can LiveCode accept a dynamically built key for a nested multi-dimensional array? Copy the button script recipe below to see the problem. Perhaps the LC array experts here can help explain why Jaque’s hard-wired key definition works but my attempts to replicate this syntax via scripting to support variable depth of arrays get ignored? Is it my syntax or just the way arrays work in LC…? on mouseUp pButtonNumber # Create a nested array put "Content" into tArray["key1"]["key2"]["key3"]["key4"] # Replicate the path response from the Tree widget actionInspect function put "key1,key2,key3,key4" into pPath # Jaque's 'hard-wired' array key recipe works! answer tArray[item 1 of pPath][item 2 of pPath][item 3 of pPath][item 4 of pPath] --returns 'Content' # Replicate Jaque's syntax dynamically put the number of items in pPath into tKeyCount put empty into iNum repeat for each item i in pPath add 1 to iNum # Try building the full key string put "[" & item iNum of pPath & "]"after tKey1 # Try building keys string to 'embed' into the regular array key syntax put item iNum of pPath after tKey2 if iNum < tKeyCount then put "][" after tKey2 # Try building by each key if i is not empty then put "[" & item iNum of pPath & "]" after tArray2 end repeat # Dynamic tKey1 results answer tKey1 -- returns '["key1"]["key2"]["key3"]["key4"]' ...seems 'correct' answer tArray & tKey1 -- returns '["key1"]["key2"]["key3"]["key4"]' ...dynamic key definition is not appended to array(?) # Dynamic tKey2 results answer tKey2 -- returns '"key1"]["key2"]["key3"]["key4"' answer tArray[tKey2] -- returns null ...dynamic key definition is not understood (as first level key)? answer tArray2 -- returns '["key1"]["key2"]["key3"]["key4"]' ...dynamic key definition is not appended to array(?) end mouseUp Best, Keith ___ 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
