Re: Explicit Variables

That should work fine. The explicitVars property is only set in the IDE around code which compiles / sets object scripts (i.e. In the script editor). It is false the rest of the time. Mark. Sent from my iPhone > On 29 Jan 2016, at 02:45, Kay C Lan wrote: > > Not a

Revmail won't work with Outlook (Really??)

Hi all. I issue the command revmail theHelpdeskEmail, theDispatcherList, theSubject, theServiceData and I get an error dialog: "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. The command line arguement is not valid. Verify the switch you are using." The command works on the MacOS, but not in Windows. I

Re: launch document problem

Thanks Mark. I filed report (16776) and it's been classified as a bug with the workaround documented by Kay. The only issue I have now is avoiding hard coding the browser to use. Does anyone know of a way to find the default browser setting in OSX (this program will only be running on Macs).

Mark, oops, didn't scroll far enough. I found the link to Snapper, thanks. Scott, that's great, and thanks for putting that post and stack up so fast. It's a little laggy on my system when it resizes quickly or gets to around 750 pixels. Is it the same on yours? Is there a way to control other

This sounds intriguing, but when I place a graphic in a stack and configure as you describe, all I see is an all-black graphic. Is there perhaps another step I'm missing? Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 1/28/16, 1:15 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of

Re: snapshot and animation capture

Regarding lagginess: yes. I can't say for sure, but if the LiveCode guys could enable the windowShape property to work with images that have centerRect dimensions, this would eliminate the need to do any image exporting and potentially make drawing of the window faster. I've suggested for years

As Mark Weider said, control ids are unique, so there is no need to specify the group, in ... graphic id 1234 of grp "unneeded" of .. However, the same is not true of names, so it's perfectly possible to have multiple graphics (or multiple groups) within the card, each with the same name.

Selecting text in single-line entry fields - small UI issue

This is a small issue, not critical. Nevertheless, I am curious to know if there is a solution. In almost all cases, tabbing from single-line entry field to single-line entry field, I prefer selecting the whole text instead of having the pointer mark after the text. It allows to quickly enter new

Re: snapshot and animation capture

About that, is there a way to save the rectangle that the user draws manually using the crosshairs? With that I could at least capture the same rectangle again automatically. I suppose all I really need is a way for the user to define an area on the screen once and grab screenshots from that same

Re: snapshot and animation capture

As a concept, I thought it might be possible to detect the screenMouseLoc in a frontScript and use the resulting snapshot dimensions to determine the width/height of captured screen rect. Two problems though: 1) under 7.1.1 here on OS X 10.9.5, when executing just "import snapshot" the capture is

Re: snapshot and animation capture

What I'm working on now is putting a stack across the whole screen with a resizable rectangle on it. Then as long as the stack is transparent, or semi-transparent, the user can position the rectangle over what they want to capture. When they're done the stack coordinates can be converted into
