Re: Storing Images for use by Custom Controls
I am sorry to say that my solution does not work if you paste the group on the same card. However Simons solution works when "of me" is added in the repeat loop resolve image is not granular enough to distinguish between groups. Once you paste the group onto a different card or stack then it works. It could also be simplified to the following code since the images for icons of the custom control are known on newGroup set the hilitedIcon of button "bOne" of me to the short id of image "redQMark" of me set the icon of button "bOne" of me to the short id of image "greenRound" of me end newGroup Kind regards bnig--- via use-livecode wrote > Hi Simon, > > I think the easiest way would be to copy the images your custom control > uses > to the custom controls. > then add this code to the group (it is for one button "bOne" and two > images > "greenRound" and "redQMark" > > on newGroup >resolve image "redQMark" relative to button "bOne" of me >if it is not empty then > set the hilitedIcon of button "bOne" of me to the short id of it >end if >resolve image "greenRound" relative to button "bOne" of me >if it is not empty then > set the icon of button "bOne" of me to the short id of it >end if > end newGroup > > "NewGroup" is a message that the custom control gets when you paste it. > That way the custom control is self contained and when you paste it into a > new stack it will assign the ids of the images to your buttons. > > Kind regards > Bernd > > That way they are contained in your custom control and the custom control > can be self contained, i.e. can be reused in a different stack. -- Sent from: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Revolution-User-f278306.html ___ 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

Re: Storing Images for use by Custom Controls
Hi Simon, I think the easiest way would be to copy the images your custom control uses to the custom controls. then add this code to the group (it is for one button "bOne" and two images "greenRound" and "redQMark" on newGroup resolve image "redQMark" relative to button "bOne" of me if it is not empty then set the hilitedIcon of button "bOne" to the short id of it end if resolve image "greenRound" relative to button "bOne" of me if it is not empty then set the icon of button "bOne" to the short id of it end if end newGroup "NewGroup" is a message that the custom control gets when you paste it. That way the custom control is self contained and when you paste it into a new stack it will assign the ids of the images to your buttons. Kind regards Bernd That way they are contained in your custom control and the custom control can be self contained, i.e. can be reused in a different stack.

[OT] Stable versions of Livecode
In recent month there has been muck ado about the word "stable" in stable versions of Livecode. I think there is a serious misunderstanding of the word "stable" here. It is according to the Oxford Dictionary: stable (noun) A building set apart and adapted for keeping horses. ‘the horse was led to its stable’ Of course that can only mean that a stable version of Livecode is a metaphor indicating that Livecode is the metaphorical horse, maybe even a racehorse, at least a horse that deserves a nice and clean stable. As every schoolboy knows no stable is free of bugs but a new stable is as close as you can get. Some might deplore the use of a metaphor in denoting a version of Livecode but I've seen a lot worse on this list. Just to mention a few "skinning of cats" "reinventing of wheels" "building of better mousetrap" but don't forget in metaphors it is the _relations_ that are important, not the _things_ that are related. I hope this helps and take it with a grain of salt My best wishes to all the Livecode jokeys and stablemen.

As Mike wrote the notes are stored in an arrayEncoded array in Application Support -> LCTinyDict -> tinyDictNotes.array They identify a dictionary by a combination of Keyword Type and Library. TinyDict uses the current version of LC Dictionary it is running in. That means regardless of version or license the dictionary is up to date. (all those differences give you slightly different dictionaries) If that version of your dictionary has an entry that matches an entry in tinyDictNotes.array then the note will be shown. No need to rewrite the note. You can take your tinyDictNotes.array file, zip it and import it into your tinyDict running on a different computer or send it off to someone else. tinyDictNotes.array will be merged into your existing notes by appending the imported notes to the existing notes. Notes came into being because they were mentioned a couple of times as a useful feature of a community dictionary. They are primarily intended as a means to keep personal notes, workarounds, reminders, etc. Not more not less.

Re: [ANN] tinyDictionary
Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote > Then please also make sure to submit this to Edinburgh. I want this to be > my official dictionary. Thanks Bob, I think the LiveCode people did a pretty good job reorganizing the dictionary. The new dictionary, once getting used to it, offers the different dictionaries in a structured way. It takes just a lot of screen estate if you don't use a 28 inch monitor. The scope of tinyDictionary is different: a bare bone dictionary for developers who know what they are looking for. So I will not submit this to Edinburgh. I wrote tinyDictionary also because we had quite some suggestions for community projects that did not materialize. I wanted to give it a try and see how far I would get. There was helpful input from the community, not all of it made it into tinyDict. The Livecode Dictionary has other problems: more than 3000 files that need some attention/correction/reformatting. Luckily not all of them but there are enough. If you find some funny stuff in tinyDictionary please check against the LiveCode dictionary whether it also looks funny there. Then you have a good chance to look at an entry that needs care. Devin Asay is doing a tremendous job at correcting the dictionary. This could really be something where other native speakers of the community could help. It is tedious, you have to learn the format and you have to get familiar with GitHub. But even GitHub is doable :) >> I want this to be my official dictionary.

Hi Mark,
tinyDictionary tries on preopenCard -> loadPreferences to find via
put specialFolderPath("support") into tFolderSupport
an "application support" folder and there a "LcTinyDict" folder where it
tries to create a txt file "tinyPrefs.txt"
This is in the card script.
If it can not create the folder then the alert appears. I don't know
anything about Linux and where that folder might be. Or may be it is a
permission thing?
TinyDict saves on "closeCard" to the preference file the current state to be
able to restore the state on next start. It does not save itself, hence the
prefs file.
Kind regards
Bernd

If you use tinyDictionary as a plugin then it gathers the current dictionary of the LC version you use. But it only works for Livecode 8.1 and up because it leverages the good work of the Livecode people in "revIDEDocumentationLibrary". It pulls the whole array and dissects it. Of course you can have more than one LC version open and access tinyDict via the plugins menu in each of these. It would always be the current dictionary of that version. If you have a special use case for standalones please email me so I understand better what you would like to do.

[ANN] tinyDictionary
I uploaded a compact version of the dictionaries for LC 8.1 and up to Livecodeshare http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/825/tinyDictionary_0_7_7_7 this is also accessible via "Sample Stacks" from inside LC. it is the result of Mike Kerners push to have a small footprint dictionary. James Hale contributed to tinyDict, thanks James. Comments bug reports either on the use-list or in the forum http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=67=28731=152646#p152646 or mail me.

Skia replaced LC's older graphics subsystem many versions ago (5.x?). They did such a good job that most folks never noticed. But where you see new capabilities like the SVG widget, those are among the many upsides of having switched to this popular graphics system. -- Richard Gaskin Peter Thirkell posted a -lcb file that has to be compiled using the Extension Builder that he uses to display simple color SVGs. No gradients and no advanced features of SVG. http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=93=27811=150208#p150208 He parses svg export from Affinity Designer. That said I scraped two of the above mentioned SVGs, after exporting them from Affinity Designer I was able to feed the logo to Peter's hacked SVG Color widget and it displayed fully. Rescalable and everything. The floor plan lost the annotational text and some fills (because of gradients) but otherwise rendered ok. I did not attempt to use the SivaSivaDiagramm because the source code was full of things Peter's widget can not display. I recommend anybody interested in widgets to look at Peter's .lcb file and especially appreciate his parsing handlers. That all said what the svg widget is lacking is a more advanced svg parser beyond black and white and transparency. Mark Waddingham had started on implementing an open source parser but apparently Infinite Livecode kept him from finishing it yet. https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/3089 Kind regards Bernd -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Browser-Widget-HTML5-LC-Integration-tp4712003p4712034.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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
