Wow, thanks Trevor for the R & D! That makes for "pretty plain" Datagrid2 forms. I understand the reasons behind it. But making "gorgeous" UI that scrolls then is not possible. I am developing youTube library that use Datagrid. So it seems we will have to sacrifice scrolling to get a shadow

Messages for selecting region?

I think I used to know this, but . . . Aren’t there messages for when the mouse is held down and dragged, as if selecting an area? Or is it something we do with mosueDown, mouseStillDown, and mouseUp? Specifically, in the new pdf widget, I’m looking to, during development, selecting a

I agree that the dictionary often leaves guess work. The biggest problem I have with the dictionary is forgetting the name of a function and trying to guess the name. If there were lots of tags to look for... but... You must know at least the beginning of a name. And how can you even search not

It may have passed in the past (ahem) because the engine might have thought you were trying to multiply 5 by empty, and if that is allowed (empty interpreted as 1) then the parser would go, "Okay, sure!" I just put "put 5 times empty" into the message box and got 5. "put 5 times" also gives

Re: The correct way to quit a Windows standalone

So this seems odd to me. If an executable that spawns other processes/threads (if that is what a splash stack is doing) quits, Windows should also terminate the processes/threads. I suppose, from reading various email posts here that there are different ways to implement a splash screen. As I

Re: The correct way to quit a Windows standalone

Actually, this all seems like a Windows "bug" to me. A language like LiveCode, should, if I script 'quit', do exactly that - quit. If there are any open anythings preventing that, the engine should shut them all down for us. Now as a software developer, I agree that good programming practice

Re: The correct way to quit a Windows standalone

It's not just fonts, anything that's still in use needs to be removed. Fonts, stacks in use, open processes, com ports, sockets, etc. Basically you need to shut down everything the stack opened. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software |

Re: The correct way to quit a Windows standalone

I do this to cleanly exit my Windows standalone, which is a splashscreen stack. Because I have used a couple of fonts that I keep with the standalone, I have to STOP USING them, else the process will still continue to run. This handler is in my visible stack, not in the standalone splashscreen
