Re: What happened to my message box ?
Same thing happened to me (random hiccup) I just increased the window size a little till the divider showed. However now on 5.5.3 it seems that every time I switch to the multiline pane the divider defaults to the bottom where it is barely otu of view and I have to do it again. Kinda a pain in the tookus.

Re: What happened to my message box ?
Ditto here. Very annoying. Not related to plugins as I have removed plugins on several occasions to test other issues, and the problem persists. I think it's a preferences bug.

Re: What happened to my message box ?
Thanks Mike. I thought I had tried that - but I did have just a few more pixels left at the bottom of the screen, and including them in the window let me grab the divider. Thanks! -- Alex.

Re: What happened to my message box?
Yes. It caused me to re-read the fix that was first mention by Ken Ray and then later in the thread you referenced. I realized that I had only added this line to the revDebuggerValidGlobalNames function: filter tGlobalsRaw without *-* I hadn't added this other one for some reason: filter tGlobalsRaw without */* When I plugged that in also, the message box problem went away and it now works properly. Thanks to everyone for all their suggestions and help and sorry I was so dense as to overlook the solution when it was first presented.

Re: What happened to my message box?
Lol, no, no, the message stack is there. I can use the other panes of it, such as the global variables, the pending messages, etc. It's only the single and multi-line messages sections that don't work. They are visible and I can enter commands into the message field. However, it simply doesn't respond to Return or Enter to actually execute the messages for some weird reason.

Re: What happened to my message box?
I have to conclude that there is something in your OS, or some utility that is preventing the keypress events from getting to the Livecode engine. What happens when you put this in a card script and then hit the return key: on rawKeyDown pKey put pKey pass rawKeyDown end rawKeyDown You should get 65293 for the returnKey and 65421 for the enterKey.

Re: What happened to my message box?
When I enter this script into the card handler of a card I do in fact get those values for Return and Enter. Apparently this problem is within the Message Box stack itself, and then only within the section that deals with the message field. I've tried using the debugger to trap the execution of the message field (it has a ReturnInField handler) but the debugger never engages, even when I set a hard breakpoint (?!), so I haven't been able to get any further in figuring out what the problem is. Hence, I've built my own message box in order to get any work done. Weird, huh? Any other ideas? I appreciate your help.

Re: What happened to my message box?
Hi Mark, I remember when this issue came up (I too was taken in by the lure of a free suite of 3D programs). I did make those changes at the time Ken brought this to our awareness to the revDebuggerValidGlobalNames function but I made it in LC V 4.6.4, the latest version of LC I have. I didn't make it in V 4.5.3, the one I'm having troubles with regarding the message box. As it turns out, I don't think this is the issue, since I have not had this issue with the script editor, just the message box. I went ahead and plugged those changes into the revDebugger in V 4.5.3 but I've noticed no effect one way or the other. Thanks for the thought however.

Re: What happened to my message box?
Thank you Mark! This is very helpful. I've verified that I can now use breakpoints in the message box scripts and will take a look to see if I can track down where the problem is when I have some free time. I've been getting along ok with my home grown one so I'm not in a rush, but it's good to know I can get back to that. Now I've hit another snag in IOS development because suddenly, after weeks of working just fine, LC will no longer validate that I have a valid SDK in my /Developer directory, even though it's there, so I can't use the Simulator any more. G. I'm looking around for something expensive to break.

I've not followed all this, so I can't remember if you tried deleting prefs and restarting. If so, maybe a reinstall would fix it. I seem to recall Craig did that and it didn't work, but who knows. One thing that catches me sometimes is that the Messages icon is turned on (messages are blocked). If so, the message box stops working. Check that. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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-livecodehttp://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode -- Regards, Howard Bornstein --- www.designeq.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

Re: What happened to my message box?
This is a great idea and it's what I did. It took some fiddling to get it to work the way I wanted but I now can actually get some work done. Thanks for the idea. Btw, do you know of a list of error message numbers so I can make the error reporting a little more robust?

Re: What happened to my message box?
Yup. Launch LC, call up the msg box, enter Put the time, hit return. Nothing. I've got the standard plugins along with a couple others, but I've been using those for years and haven't updated them. Someone else on this list reported the same problem with the message box last year, specifically with V 4.5.3. I think this version is not particularly stable (all kinds of on-going problems with the debugger and script editor).

Re: What happened to my message box?
Interesting. I have horrible problems with the editor and debugger. I frequently have to close and restart the editor (losing all my open tabs) and the debugger often skips over breakpoints and otherwise acts wonky. My other version, 4.6.4, works much better but I don't have an IOS seat for it. I'll be happy to upgrade to the latest version when I can spring the money free.

Re: What happened to my message box?
I had an issue, that nobody else ever seemed to be able to duplicate, where this happened. I was only able to activate the msg box by typing into the lower field and hitting return. From that point on, everything was back to normal. I also am in 4.5.3, and I think the issue was with this build. But I also have to say that the problem went away, somehow, many months ago, and has not returned. -Original Message- From: Howard Bornstein bornst...@designeq.com To: How to use Revolution use-revolut...@lists.runrev.com Sent: Wed, Oct 5, 2011 12:07 pm Subject: What happened to my message box? Yikes! I've been working in LC 4.5.3 (that's the version I have an IOS license for) and things were going fine. Suddenly, the msg box stopped responding. No matter what I put into it, nothing is displayed and the stack indicator shows RevErrorDisplay. Scripts can write to the message box fine, but trying to work directly in the message box is a no-go.
