LiveCode Datagrid Questions
I'm having a number of issues with datagrids created in LiveCode 4.5. Datagrids created by Revolution 4.0 still work fine. I am unable to create custom column behaviors for any columns using the recommended method. I click the plus sign for the column, the card with the row template is displayed, I select the row template group but the Edit Group button in the toolbar or on the Object menu is greyed out and doesn't function. If I select the card containing the template for the datagrid, then select the Row Template group, the Edit Group command is available to me. I have a default column behavior script which I use for all my datagrids. Those created under 4.0 correctly execute the various handlers in that script but any created under 4.5 never execute any of the handlers in that script (the default column behavior is set to the correct button). I see two new handlers in the default column behavior supplied with LiveCode - PreFillinData and ResetData. What are some uses for these handlers? I also saw a recent post to this list regarding some new built in drag and drop reordering handlers in the default script - they don't appear in my default script. I have been using the Data Group Handler plugin. I have removed it from the Plugins folder in the Application bundle but these problems did not go away. Any answers much appreciated.

Pullout menus disappear
If the mouse is moved into a pullout whose first item is disabled, the pullout vanishes as soon as the mouse leaves the main menu and enters the pulllout. Looks like mouse-tracking is flakey. It makes using a hierarchical menu with the first item disabled rather difficult! And yes, I know such menus are not now recommended, but it makes sense in this instance. Is this a general bug, a bug with Windows XP, or just a bug with me? Also, a disabled radiomark (i.e. using !r( in front of the item) displays a disabled radiomark, as expected. However, a purportedly disabled checkmark (i.e. using !c( in front of the item) displays an ENABLED checkmark. Bug?

Peter, To clarify things about DGH (Data Grid Helper): 1) About interaction with the IDE. - DGH traps double click and click ONLY on datagrid groups. - it interacts with the LiveCode's inspector ONLY for the objects in its template area. 2) About scripts - DGH build scripts to fill column behaviors but it is not able to change how the datagrid library performs. 3) About templates - DGH uses its own way to edit the templates of a datagrid in a special area and never directly in the datagrid template it edits. - DGH not uses the IDE to edit templates. So DGH is not capable to generate the issues you describe: - group capability disable in the IDE (menu and toolbar) - handlers not working in a behavior script Regards, -- -Zryip TheSlug- wish you the best! 8) http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

An easy way to pipe input into shell commands?
Is there a neat way to pipe input into shell commands from STDIN? The usual way I do it is to recreate everything as temporary files and then pass the file references - however it is both a hassle and can leave clutter around although I assume files stored in the tempname directory get cleared out properly on all platforms (anyone - I've not tested this cross-platform?). For smaller inputs (one liners) - you can construct a shell command which pipes an echo command - like this: put echo 'Hello world!' | commandLineThatTakesSTDIN into someShell put shell (someShell) But is you have a lot of text in a variable, that you want to pipe to a shell command this is not going to work - hence the need to write out to a temporary file.

Re: Launch app from MacOSX system bar
Hi Josep, You need to create an statusIcon (according o the release notes). For example: on preOpenStack set statusIcon to 23001 set the statusIconMenu to Open Programme|openStandalone end preOpenStack and you need a script that handles the menu selection: on iconMenuPick theItem switch theItem case openStandalone launch path/to/your/standalone break case somethingElse -- do something else here break case quit quit break end switch end iconMenuPick Keep these scripts in a separate standalone, which runs all the time. Whenever the menu item Open Standalone is selected, the iconMenuPick handler runs and opens your main standalone. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.

You might consider the slave process feature of LiveCode which has been revamped in 4.5. Use 'open process' to run the command-line tool. Use 'write ... to process' to write to its STDIN. Get the result with 'read from process'. There is an example in the revision notes. This is not new. Working well is presumably new. The limitation is that when you close the pipe to the process, LiveCode (that is, the version of Revolution I tested years ago-- things may have changed) also closes the pipe from the process, so this would not be good for things that do their work after the close, such as sort. put echo 'Hello world!' | commandLineThatTakesSTDIN into someShell put shell (someShell) Cool!

Re: Launch app from MacOSX system bar
From the v4.5 release notes: Status icon support (experimental) Windows, Linux and Mac OS X all have an area where so-called 'status icons' can be displayed. On Windows this is the system tray on the bottom right of the start bar, on Linux this is typically the right of the panel at the top of the screen, and on Mac OS X this is on the menubar. The engine has support for adding a single status icon, and it can be configured using the statusIcon, the statusIconTooltip and the statusIconMenu: set the statusIcon to imageId set the statusIconMenu to iconMenuSpec set the statusIconToolTip to toolTip Here imageId is the id of the image you wish to use as the icon. It will be scaled down automatically to the appropriate size for the platform and then set. The toolTip specifies what message appears when the user hovers over the status icon. The iconMenuSpec allows you to configure a menu that will appear when the user does a 'menu' click on the icon. This string uses a subset of the standard engine menu specification: [ tab * ] [ '(' ] label [ '|' tag ] Here the number of tabs determines the depth of the menu (i.e. use this to create sub-menus). The optional tag is used when calling the statusIconMenuPick message. Before the engine displays the status icon menu, it will send a statusIconMenuOpening menu to the current card of the defaultStack. You can use this opportunity to change the icon menu before it is displayed, this is an analog to handling mouseDown in a menu button. When the user selects an item from the dock menu, the engine will send an statusIconMenuPick message to the current card of the default stack: iconMenuPick which Here which will be a list of labels or tags (if specified) separated by '|' which determines which item was selected. In addition, the engine will send the following message in response to clicks on the icon: statusIconMenuClick button statusIconMenuDoubleClick button You can use these to perform an appropriate action. Note: If you wish to display a menu from the status icon you must use the statusIconMenu property, attempting to open a normal popup menu in response to one of the click messages is not guaranteed to work. Note: This syntax is only implemented on Windows at the moment and replaces the previously unsupported use of the icon and the iconMenu for this purpose. The properties specified above will have no effect on Mac OS X and Linux at this time. Important: This feature is currently experimental. This means that it may not be complete, or may fail in some circumstances that you would expect it to work. Please do not be afraid to try it out as we need feedback to develop it further. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

There used to be only one level of items but the customer has asked to one card to have a second set of levels for one item.

Re: Storing an Array as a Custom Property
While we're talking about bugs, I found that you cannot change the field property TAB on Return from the multi line msg box. Maybe from the single line too, but I didn't try that one. I had hundreds of fields for which I wanted that property changed. Ended up doing them one at a time. I was able to change some of the other properties using the msg box.

I'm sure that Richard's suggestion is a good one, but just that much more for us to learn. KISS! The IDE offers two ways to view property labels in the inspector, as Richard was saying. One way is to provide a descriptive label, which is the default for all new installations. The descriptive label tries to tell more explicitly what the property acutally does, but is usually not a term you can use in a script. The other way to view the labels is by the actual LiveTalk property name that is used in scripts and which appears in the dictionary. You can indeed make the property inspector show the actual property names, as you suggest. Do that by setting the very first preference in the General pane of the Preferences dialog to Name of LiveTalk property. Then the inspector will do as you suggest above, and show the real names of the properties. Like Richard, I also tell all new scripters to turn off the descriptive terms and use the actual property names instead. If you want to leave the inspector as you are used to with description showing instead of names, there is a second way to see the actual property name. You must have tooltips turned on for it to work (they are on by default.) Just hover your mouse over the property label in the inspector and the actual property name will appear in a tooltip. If you have reversed the preferences so that the actual name is in the label, the tooltip will display the descriptive term instead. In other words, tooltips will show whichever label you have not set as the default in preferences. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
