Re: On-Rev: Odin emails rejected due to poor reputation
I would contact Shaw directly on this one. They are using a blacklisting service called Cloudmark which in my opinion is completely irresponsible. I have a business account with Shaw and host my own email server for my business. Every few months, I wonder why people are not getting my emails. It turns out that Cloudmark has blacklisted my domain and email is going into people's Spam folders as a result. I get no notification that my entire domain has been blacklisted for every account on my server (there are only 3 of us, but still there are a lot of important emails that go out to Shaw customers on the shaw.ca domain) No other blacklisting service lists my domain as being questionable. Shaw just says that they have no control and they cannot tell me why it gets blacklisted. I request that it gets delisted and it does, but I have no idea when it will happen again. Please report this to shaw and ask why it is being blacklisted and ask to get it removed.

HELP! - Linefeeds and Mac Vs Windows
I have a stack that builds a perl script. It works just fine when I create the script on Windows. When I open the saved script that is created on the windows version of my app in NotePad, it looks just fine and works great with my PERL cgi. If I use the same stack on Mac and generate the same perl script on the mac and then copy it over to my Windows box and open it in NotePad, it appears that all of the Returns are missing and the Perl CGI fails. I am assuming then, that PERL needs the line feeds that are created when I save the file out on Windows. Building the file is simple. I just concatenate a bunch of string together and use the RETURN key word to separate lines. I tried using CRLF instead of RETURN and got the same results when viewed in notepad. No wrapping of the lines. I have compared the two versions of the files in editors that allow me to show the invisible characters and they look identical. Comparing the two in BBEdit indicates the files are identical, yet when I open them in NotePad, they clearly are not. Can anyone tell me what is going on here and how I can get the Mac version to look like the Win version? You can download the files for comparison yourself at http://www.createchsol.com/perlscripts.zip I would greatly appreciate any help one can give me. ** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions sly...@createchsol.com 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.

It looks like the Mac version has either cr or lf as the line ending character and the Wind version has crlf. NotePad won't break text on only a linefeed character. It needs CRLF. BBEdit will display text with either line ending. I think if you open the Mac version with WordPad on Windows, it will display as expected. If you save the files from Livecode using the binfile url style (or binary write), the files will be identical and have lf line endings, but probably won't display properly in Notepad. I think they will work as Perl scripts on either platform. I think the main problem here is Notepad. You may want to look for a better text editor on Windows. (e.g. Notepad ++ ) Thanks for the suggestions. In fact, I use Notepad Plus and it was opening the original one saved by using file: and it looked fine. Perl just didn't like it.

I just went back to my Developer Conference DVD set from RunRev Live 09 and found Trevor's Advanced Data Grid techniques video. It shows me exactly what I need to know. BTW, this video is excellent to help one understand how data grids work and what is going on behind the scene.

OpenField/ExitField Handlers in Datagrid?
Seems to be my day for questions. I am building an app and want to control the enabling and disabling of menu items based on where the cursor is. Mostly, I have no problem, except when I am in a datagrid. I have a datagrid that has only one editable column. When I double click on that column on a row and get into that specific field for editing, I want to enable some menu items (like Copy, paste). When I exit that field, I want to disable them. On other fields in the card, I do this on the OpenField and ExitField handlers. How do I do this in a Datagrid? As always, thanks for anyone who can help. An unusual snow storm in Vancouver has me coding today on a pet project. ** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions sly...@createchsol.com 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.

In fact you can manage the both in the group: on preOpenFieldEditor enableMtMenu end preOpenFieldEditor on DeleteFieldEditor disableMyMenus end DeleteFieldEditor This almost works. Except that the field is left in a strange state after exiting the field. The focus rectangle is still around the field and I no longer need to double-click to get into that row's column to edit it. I can enter it with a single click. When I exit the field, I want to set the field back so that I need to double-click to edit.

Inserting Image into html text of Field
It has been a while since I have done this, but I am building a help system and want to include images in the body of some of my text fields. I have a card (hidden) in my stack that has all of the images in it. now I want to reference those images inline with the html text on a field. I have done this before, but it is late and I can't remember how I did this.

Splash Screen
I have a simple, single stack solution that I want to add another stack as a Splash Screen. Problem is, my solution is currently the main stack and I want the app to open showing the Splash screen then disappear and load the main stack. I can create my Splash Screen stack as a sub stack of my main stack, but I can't seem to reverse it. ie, make my main stack a substack of the splash screen after the fact. Any help would be appreciated. ** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions sly...@createchsol.com 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.

However, this datagrid has a lot of custom scripts and I don't want to have to recreate if I can help it.\ ** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions sly...@createchsol.com 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.

How did you get the initial latitude and longitude of the start and end points? Is that available through Google maps API as well? On the iPhone I just used the built in Core Location data to grab the Latitude and Longitude. I also use the YahooMaps API to get the same information from an address. I couldn't find it from the GoogleMaps API but it was pretty straight forward to get it from YahooMaps API once I registered and got a key. It is the Web services API that I used. Then, using the XML parser I could get the information I needed. On the iPhone without the XML parser available, it was pretty easy to filter the returned data to get what I wanted. ** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions sly...@createchsol.com 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.

iOS Interface Design
I have been coding my app for the iPhone and things are going reasonably well on the coding side now that I am running 4.5.3 (rc3) Coding right now is not the issue, though I am sure I will run into all sorts of issues soon as I start to add more functionality. What I am really struggling with is how to make my controls look like native controls. Right now, the app looks like it was designed for Windows 3.1 or Mac OS 6. I know that I can start adding graphics as a background, but what about some of the native LiveCode controls like scrolling text fields and Option Buttons that bring up the picker? How are people getting those controls to look like native iOS controls. Are there sample files for this or a white paper on best practice on how to simulate this? If my app was just a bunch of buttons and static text like I see on the turorials, then not a problem, but what about the other controls? It would be great if Rev/LiveCode could produce a few sample apps that would focus on the UI and how to make the apps look professional. BTW, what ever happened to the Build an App series that was started on the company blog. It has stalled on Day 3/4. ** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions sly...@createchsol.com 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.

Option MenuPick in iOS
I am working on my first app for iOS and have an option menu button that works fine in the IDE but not in the Simulator. When the card loads, it populates the menu options of the option menu button from values in a field on the card put empty into button SiteList put Select Site into line 1 of button SiteList Put New Site into line 2 of button SiteList repeat with i = 3 to the number of Lines in fld SiteData + 2 put Item 1 of line i-2 of field SiteData into line i of button SiteList end repeat set the label of btn SiteList to Select Site That works fine. When I select one of the menu items it should then populate other fields on the card and this works fine in the IDE, but not in the simulator. It appears as the menuPick is not recognized at all. Any ideas? on menuPick pItemName Put the MenuHistory of button SiteList into theLine if theLine 2 then Put pItemName into field SiteName Put item 2 of line theLine - 2 of field SiteData into field Lat Put item 3 of line theLine - 2 of field SiteData into field Long End If end menuPick ** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions sly...@createchsol.com 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.

Data Grid Column Alignment
I have a data grid with a custom that I set to right align and when I assign the dgText to this data grid, the column in question is right aligned. However, when I create a function that applies a transformation to that number and override the default rendering through a column behaviour , the alignment switches to left align. I tried set the dgColumnAlignment[Distance] of group dgMileageLog to right but nothing changes. The properties on that column are set to right align. All values in the column are 2 decimals so I want them to align to the right so that the decimals line up. Is there something that can be done about this besides using the technique in the Rev lessons for aligning decimals in a column. (Which didn't work for me BTW). A simple right align is all I need, but it isn't working. Thanks in advance for any solution.
