Re: Odd native scroller issue on iOS

Scott, you are an absolute legend! Setting the vScroll of the scroller to itself when the scroller is initialised didn't help (the routine to create all native controls is called in an openCard handler) but applying your workaround each time one of the form elements is toggled (and the

Hi Guys When installing LiveCode 8 on El Capitan version 10.11.4, an error dialog. On opening the dictionary it seems as if this was not installed….it is empty. Has anybody you experienced this and is there a way to manually fix this? See attached image. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Re: Odd native scroller issue on iOS

So, after some more of Œtrying everything¹ it seems that it¹s the scroller¹s rect rather than its contentRect that is causing problems. If I pull the rect in far enough on both sides so that it doesn¹t overlap the affected control but keep the contentRect large enough that it does cover them then

Try setting the vScroll of the scroller to itself (its current value) upon opening the card or after creating the scroller. Goofy, yes, but doing so may solve the problem. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 5/18/16, 9:11 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of

Odd native scroller issue on iOS

I’m having an issue with a native scroller on iOS. It’s used to scroll a group of expanding and contracting form elements that each contain a number of ‘on/off’ buttons. It all works well enough (with the contentRect of the scroller being adjusted each time an element is expanded or contracted)

Does anyone have some really good (comprehensive) routines to escape and unescape text data for storing in a SQL database (like SQLite or MySQL) basics like: replace cr with "\n" in pText -- replace any cr with "\n" for new line replace tab with "\t" in pText-- replace tabs with "\t" replace "'"

Re: Missing split option?

Splitting by column or row uses the rowdelimiter and columndelimiter properties, which are cr and tab by default, but you can change them. In your example you wouldn't need to. But splitting by column won't give what you want, I don't think. If I remember right it will give a numbered array
