Vertical Scroll Bar in Scrolling Field

Am I daft? In <7 versions I remember the vertical scroll bar only appeared if the formattedText of the field was “taller” than the field height? Otherwise the scroll bar was hidden. ?? Is there a way to get the behavior Svasti Astu, Be Well Brahmanathaswami www.himalayanacademy.com

Re: Query for valid email

I don't think so. If it is a single server, and you can manage the server, I'd export a list of email addresses and that you can script. If not, then I would have bounce messages ruled into a particular mail folder. That way you can at least find a way to compile the bounced addresses. For

I suspect put the keys of (the properties of the templatefield) is what you want. On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 4:21 PM Richard Gaskin wrote: > Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami wrote: > > Hmmm I could have sworn this worked years ago: > > > > put the keys of templatefield >

Hi Ralph, Thanks for the information. I tried it and now I can look inside my Android app. But my main problem is that my DB can’t be opened by the program I installed in my Android device. That the same for HTML files. Is it a question of permission I have to get or something like? You know,

Re: SQlite and Android devices

The structure of an APK is the same as ZIP. Rename the file to whatever.zip and you can look around. Don't change the contents and try to rename a .zip to .apk because the checksum will fail. ~Roger On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 8:55 AM, Alain Vezina wrote: > Hi all,

RE: SQLite and Android devices

The apk is just a zip file with an apk extension. Rename it .zip and you can look inside. The database can't be opened in the apk(the engine folder). The apk is read-only. Even if you don't write to it you must still copy it out to the documents folder and open it there. I never tried to open a DB

Re: AW: Windows Media

I don't think Linux has been forgotten. It just doesn't get the long overdue attention for a media re-write _first_. I too expect one media syntax in LiveCode - to control whichever low level media player exists on each platform. ~Roger On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 4:19 AM, RM
