Property profiles apparently broken in LiveCode 4.5
Hello, Something has apparently changed from 4.0.0 to 4.5 that has badly broken some logic in one of my stacks that use property profiles. It looks like the behavior of revSetCardProfile may have changed. The stack works as expected in 4.0.0 but is broken in 4.5. Has anybody else experienced problems when using property profiles in 4.5? Is this on a list of fixes? Also, in a separate but closely related question, where can I find a the 4.0.0 installer? Thanks very much.

Re: Workaround For No selectionChanged Message?
Recently, I wrote: I have recently begun to struggle again with a simple text editor project and it seems when the contents of a field are selected via script (select text of fld 1), no selectionChanged message is sent. On a related note, how do folks handle maintaining text selections? I currently have text formatting controls in a palette, separate from a mainstack that contains the text to be edited. When clicking on the palette, the text selection is lost in the mainstack, so I add backColor to the selected text while the palette has focus; when focus is shifted back to the mainstack, the backColor is removed and the previously unselected text is reselected (!). The issue here is the appearances do not match: text selected by LiveCode has a different appearance than text with a backColor applied. The only way I can see around this is to always use the backColor selection and never allow true selection of text. What a pain. There's got to be an easier way. Is there one?

Um, yes, I'm pretty sure that palette stack xyz sets the stack's style to palette... :-) But you got me thinking, I am trying to maintain the user's selection after the text has been styled, and it seems that even the LiveCode IDE doesn't do this (selection is lost after style is changed). So maybe the previously selected text needs to be reselected after being styled. This seems to work, but I could have sworn there was some window switching situation where the text selection would be lost. Anyway, I'll continue with this option -- thanks for the push Monte.

Re: WindowBoundingRect in Linux
I have done set the rect of stack xyz to the screen rect. With Gnome this floats the stack above but touching the task bar, as with all apps meximized, with no overlap. With Fluxbox, the task bar is overlappng and over the stack which occupies the whole screen, and this happens with all apps. With Flux however there are probably some options to unset float over all, but I don't see how you would reproduce the Gnome effect where the stack does not overlap the menu bar. I seem to recall KDE working the same way as Gnome, that would be KDE 3.5. I have not tried KDE4.x with rev. This is debian squeeze. If you want something specific tried, happy to do it.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 Moronic Meerkat that has had its GUI hacked about a bit insofar as I have an AVANT WINDOW NAVIGATOR set up rather like the Mac OS X dock along the bottom of my desktop, and a DOCKY on the right-handside of my screen (for Windows stuff running under WINE). I am writing this using Mozilla Thunderbird - If I maximise my Thunderbird window it takes DOCKY into account and does not maximise so bits of the window are behind it. However, Thunderbird does NOT take AVANT into account and does maximise behind it. 2. If I maximise a LiveCode stack it behaves exactly like Thunderbird, It doesn't go completely bonkers and do such things as vanishing under the PANEL. 3. This is the situation for 4.5 dp-4, Studio 4.0 and RunRev 2.2.1; which means that it is a long-running situation. This would suggest to me, that, on my machine at least, that the problem lies with Avant Window Navigator Thank you for looking into this, but I'm referring to a different behavior. The windowBoundingRect is entirely internal to Rev, governing the maximum size a Rev window will be sized to when the user clicks the window's maximize control. True, it can be difficult to be able to know the full extent of various window trimmings in Linux (Cairo Dock seems to do a good job of having the OS constraint the max size, as do the built-in panels, but there are so many docks available that I imagine some work better than others). But in my case all I need to do is to be able to constrain our document windows within the bounds established by our app's toolbar -- all Rev stuff. On OS X and Win, setting the windowBoundingRect will indeed constrain maximizing as expected, but I haven't been able to get this to work in Linux. Unfortunately, this rather hoses an otherwise-almost-ready-to-ship-for-Linux app we have in the works which has a toolbar that needs to be accounted for. I've logged the bug here: http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=9058 If anyone here knows of a way to get this to work I'd be most grateful. -- 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

Clipboard in version 4.0
Hello :) I have a question regarding the clipboard in version 4.0. We have a number of applications that I created that we use in my workplace. They are run using an executable file created from version 2.6.1. I recently experimented with upgrading to 4.0, but was not succesful. It turns out that version 2.6.1 can access items from the clipboard that 4.0 cannot access. Two things happen - for copying from some webpages, the clipboard appears empty in 4.0 but has content (HTML information) in 2.6.1. The second problem is that for copying from some webpages, the text portion of the clipboard is populated with html information in 4.0, but is populated properly with straight text in 2.6.1. I can correct for the second problem programmatically, but the first problem is real bear. Is there anyway to alter the way 4.0 looks at the clipboard so that it detects the same information that 2.6.1 detects? We really need to be able to do quick copy and paste operations (sometimes thousands of times per day). I do not have to upgrade to 4.0, but it has features that I would like to use, if possible.

Thanks J, Unfortunately, I have tried using different elements of the clipboard array already.

Re: Clipboard in version 4.0
This problem only occurs on some web pages, but not most. Unfortunately, I am restricted to using IE as my browser at work, and I have to access these particular web pages. I am just baffled by it working in 2.6.1 and not in 4.0. Both engines use a clipboard array. \ I might be able to kludge together a work around using vbscript, shell, and wscript. I would prefer that 4.0 have full access to the clipboard, though. On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 12:18 PM, J.

Bob, no, I do not solve that, I just use that stack for simple calculations usually only integers and every now and then some floats. Never reached any limit.

Re: [ANN] Simple RPN Calculator on RevOnline
Well there was a thread a while back where someone doing floating point math was getting the wrong results. I don't remember what the exact circumstances were, but it gave me pause, as some were saying that this was inherent with software that did computations with floating point math, and that all such software had to take this into account. I remember at the time thinking, Dang! I wanted to use this for conference registration software but now I am worried about the math, if I have to do tax calculations.

Re: Stop Rolling Loop
Hello Razvan Pantescu, This is where you need to use the wait 0 milliseconds with messages item which was recently discussed on the list. Put the wait with messages inside the loop and it will detect interface events like clicks on other buttons. Then you will need a section to check some state the other button set also. For instance, your other button could toggle a custom prop or a global variable that is being checked in the loop. That should allow you a responsive interface and the ability to halt a process. It may be more preferable however to use the send in time form rather than a loop. If you do a search for runrev send in time this should become clear.

Re: [ANN] Simple RPN Calculator on RevOnline
Andre. Andre. As a reverse Polish afficionado from the days of the HP-35, I have to tell you that the following sequence fails: 1- Key in a 6 2- Enter 3- Key in a 5 4- Key in - (minus) In an RPN calculator, the enter key terminates data entry, and the next argument (or operand) is loaded for immediate action. This is operator postfix notation. I am sure you know this. Your minus sign correlates to a change sign key on an HP calculator. I cannot do a subtraction at all. A bug? Or me? But a gorgeous little calculator. Did you ever see, and I forget which model it was, an HP with all four stack registers (X, Y, Z, and T) visible at once in a four line display? Must have been about 1980 or so. You can watch as you build and collapse the registers as you work a multi-level calculation.

Re: [ANN] Simple RPN Calculator on RevOnline
Craig, I debated with myself for some time today regarding the minus sign. The best solution is having two buttons one for changing the sign and other for the operation. Right now, my minus button will behave like this: (1) if there is a text that is on the entry field which is the buffer place where the calculator displays the numbers before you pressing enter and push them into the stack, if there is a number there, then the minus sign with change the number sign. (2) if there is no number in the entry field, the minus sign will execute the subtract operation on the two numbers on the stack so, to execute 4 - 2 you could go: 4 ENTER 2 ENTER - or 4 ENTER 2 MINUS + which is the same thing since it actually does 4 + (-2) I may add some buttons and features there and then solve this issue by having a negation button. What do you think? As for registers, right now I don't have any, just a simple stack but I plan to add more features. Some day I may implement multiple stacks to work out multi level calculations or maybe some registers. I love my HP 48 GX and my dream calculator is the 16C (the programmers one, impossible to find). :-D On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 4:55 PM, dunb...@aol.com wrote: Andre. Andre.

The RPN ease and beauty is resident in the enter key, and the four arithmetic operator keys. The switch and Roll keys help, because they do a little stack fiddling.

Re: [ANN] Simple RPN Calculator on RevOnline
Andre. The whole point of registers is that data entry is naturally terminated by either an enter or an operator. The data is loaded, and waits for the user to command it. This is unlike an algebraic (or operator prefix) system where the operator is entered between the operands, and therefore the process is locked into a prescribed state. You cannot change your mind, and add, instead of multiply, those two numbers you are interested in. The four register stack permits any number of levels of nested, complex chain calculations. This requires a separate temporary register in a prefix system. But you know all that. I just think that a register based gadget would be easier to author than any other, and you could make it so those registers are visible, if you wanted to. Like that calculator I cannot remember...

Re: [ANN] Simple RPN Calculator on RevOnline
Andre. All four registers, x,y, z and t are identical, and reside in a single LIFO stack: T Z Y X X is the register that is visible. The upper ones are above it, take a tiny bit of getting used to, and then unleash their power. One enters data from the keyboard into x. Enter simply says: terminate data entry, and move the data in x to y, y to z and z to t (t is lost). Any operator, like + says: add y to x, leave the answer in x; move z to y, move t to z and leave a copy of t in t. There is a switch x and y button, and a rollDown button, that shifts data downward, one register to another, and passes x back up to t. That's it. That's all one needs.

Re: List Words from Textarea
Welcome Raz. Pierre's script gives you one good answer. When I read your email, I assumed you wanted to list each word - but avoid duplicates. To do that, you would change the script slightly, to on mouseup set the wholeMatches to true repeat for each word w in fld myfield if w is not among the lines of mywordslist then put w cr after mywordslist end repeat answer mywordslist end mouseup -- Alex.

Re: Workaround For No selectionChanged Message?
Um, yes, I'm pretty sure that palette stack xyz sets the stack's style to palette... :-) I thought you might know that ;-) But you got me thinking, I am trying to maintain the user's selection after the text has been styled, and it seems that even the LiveCode IDE doesn't do this (selection is lost after style is changed). So maybe the previously selected text needs to be reselected after being styled. That makes sense. Probably the whole field is refreshed when you set a property of the selected chunk.

[ANN] DGH 1.0.2 - An issue with Script Builder fixed
Dear LiveCode users, By working on new features in DGH, I found an issue in the DGH's Script builder. In some case the Script Builder could loose the link with its dictionary and then generate empty scripts. This issue is fixed in the 1.0.2 version. Script Builder is the way in DGH to generate scripts for a template behavior script. It could give you free time with the coding task. If you have not already used it, please consider to try it by following this quick example: 1) Drop a datagrid in a card 2) With DGH, add one or two columns to the datagrid 3) Open the template of a column then drop in it a standard button (controls are located in the Classic objects part of the DGH column builder) 4) Update the template to add the standard behavior script 5) In the (S)cript button on the right of the template area, choose the menu Build script 6) In the dialogs, choose to Update then Erase the current script 7) Update the template again to refresh the column builder preview 8) To try, click on the button you added in the column builder preview 9) Have a look to the generated script by selecting the Edit script menu in the button (S) 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

I don't think you can stop the repeated keyDown; the OS will keep sending the keyDown events, LiveCode will keep reporting them to your code. Nor would cunning schemes with carefully calibrated time work (except perhaps if you only want this to work on a single machine that you have control over) since the user can adjust the speed of key repeat, and the delay before first repeat. However, have you tried Jim Lambert's suggestion of using the keyUp event? AFAIK, LiveCode processes auto-repeating keys (at least on Mac) as repeated keyDown events; but it only sends a keyUp event when the key is released. So if you set a flag when you flip the graphic on the first keyDown; ignore subsequent keyDown events if the flag is still set; and then unflip, and clear the flag, on a keyUp event, that should work. If you really want to monitor the state of a key, you'll need to switch to using one of the keys that is treated as having 'up' and 'down' states, such as shift, alt or control, rather than the regular keys which don't so much have a state, rather have events (keyDown, keyUp).

Odd, I tested it before I posted and it worked (at least on Mac, what OS are you on?) Only I didn't have your flipping code so I just set the color of a field instead. If you change the flip to something like set the backcolor of fld 1 to red on flip and set the backcolor of fld 1 to empty on un-flip, does that work?
