Re: Cannot use Message Box
Well I guess that's the point. We shouldn't be clearing globals that don'e belong to LC so why on earth is LC even trying to look at system globals that don;t belong to it?

It's puzzling why LC should be chasing down global variables it doesn't care about and not being prepared to deal with slashes I guess is a side effect of that. Plus there's lots of variables that have slashes in them. Those are system globals, and LiveCode allows you to use any of them. You can create your own too, actually. LiveCode does not discriminate, it just displays whatever the OS gives it. The variables will be different from one OS and machine to another. It isn't so much that LiveCode doesn't need those globals; LiveCode presents them in case you or your scripts want to use them. It may be a bug though that LiveCode doesn't deal correctly with system globals containing slashes. That part could be reported. You can clear system globals from LiveCode by simply putting empty into them, like any other variable; i.e. put empty into $#. You shouldn't need to restart the IDE if you do that. But since they are system globals, changing them may affect other apps that use them so go carefully. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Russian (UTF-8) in LC 4.6
Hello Slava,
One of my projects worked pretty well with Russian, but it involved mostly
typing in Russian, saving to a file as HTMLText, and later reading in that
HTMLText for display in fields. The one place that involved manipulating the
strings directly ('exploding' the words to display individual letters
separately) was kind of a pain, especially in expressions that included a space
or any punctuation. You can get a sense of what I was able to do at
http://www.sonasoftware.com/vocab/
I hope the real Unicode support comes before too long - this issue is one of
the main reasons I've started working in ObjectiveC for some projects.

Russian (UTF-8) in LC 4.6
Hi Curt! It was good to hear from a colleague.
I'd known about your Sona cards, but I forgot (or never knew) that they were
done in LiveCode. But I went through the Web site and was quite impressed.
The site is well done, too. (I used it in Chrome, and everything looked
great.) Good job!
Thanks also for the reference to Devin Asay's article. It told me almost
everything I needed to know about Russian in LC 4.6. I do understand (and
sympathize with) the LC developers as they struggle with these issues and
introduce workarounds and fixes. It'll be quite a burden for them to keep
the system backward compatible as they move towards full and natural support
for Unicode.
As you probably know, I use the custom fonts we designed to show accented
vowels in all Russian texts in my software publications. Conversion from
accented text to unaccented text, from accented lower case to accented upper
case vowels, translating keystrokes to offer the Student keyboard layout,
normalizing strings for dictionary lookups and sorting, etc. is part of just
about every step in programming and using my publications. Variables,
arrays, property lists, and various loops are used everywhere. So when I saw
Devin's two-long-lines script that's needed just to assign a Russian word to
a field, and read about accessing a Russian character as a two-character
sequence, and also shipping them around as HTML entities, I had to scratch
my head.
I'll stay around this list and learn what I can about LiveCode this summer.
Gratefully,
Slava

Re: XML to array - what are the options?
Jim. Thanks for the response. Apologies - my question should have been more specific - about concepts, techniques and examples of applying arrays to manipulating XML data, rather than tools. Notwithstanding that, it's good to know that Ken's library is the state of the art, as I been using the paid-for v2.1, with its excellent workshop tool (alongside Mark Wider's libSOAP library) to interrogate various web services and gain a basic understanding of XML data files I want to target. With these, I now have found some potentially interesting XML data that I want to process. So, I'm trying to learn how I might apply arrays to this data, in the following specific scenarios: 1. Display data, from a specific node in a single XML file, a set number of node layers, in rTree as a 'node outline' or 'flattened' into a data grid. 2. Create a new 'related' data set from two XML files with common nodes. If the source data was in database tables, CSV files or spreadsheets, I'd be in my comfort zone and know what to do. I understand outlines and can see how I could combine XML files manually - and so could probably build-up some text-manipulation scripts from scratch. But there must be a simpler, higher-level, repeatable and more efficient way of doing this. Any ideas gratefully received. Best, Keith..

revIgniter v1.3.18b has been released. Since the announcement of version 1.3.10b in September 2010 I kept silent to avoid augmented noise on this list. Now I thought it may be time again and appropriate to remind those interested in revIgniter that the framework is still alive and continually improved. So, here are the news: revIgniter version 1.3.18b includes modifications of the Captcha library, the Formvalidation library and the sitelinks plugin. This means that the Captcha library now provides two flavors of captchas, the rigRequiredR form validation rule accounts for prefilled form fields, there are three new form validation rules and the sitelinks plugin now additionally enables you to use images instead of text for your navigation links. Furthermore there are two bug fixes. Model file names are no longer restricted to lowercase letters. Email message IDs are now generated correctly.

I just want once again to say my appreciations, kudos and positive things about Ralf and RevIgniter. This framework is YEARS beyond any other web application framework built for LiveCode and yes, I am counting my own frameworks in here. RevIgniter is such a pleasure to use that makes delivering web application with RevServer a fun endeavour. Not only it is fun to use but it is also robust and well designed, actually, the active record design is so good that I wish it would work on the desktop. If anyone here is using RevServer to build web applications, you can't do anything more positive for your own productivity than checking this out.

Re: Convert Packet decimals comp-3 and comp-6
Hi Josep The file come from a PC-MSDOS with a old ACUCOBOL-GT application, it's the customer file data, I have the File Definition with the structure of record. Then the test will be ASCII encoded so you don't need to worry about having to convert the text; It's a one-off conversion but I have many files to convert. So my plan was read the file as chunks of bytes, and for each record (divide the lenght of the file by the lenght of a record) get the chars for each field. Making a conversion for the comp-3 and comp-6 data. That sounds feasible. One thing that you may need to watch out for is that the records may have been padded by COBOL when written. For example, a PIC9(5) COMP-3 file could possibly be padded with one byte so that it takes a multiple of either 2 or 4 bytes.

Mouse clicks and cursor change lost after certain actions

The problem is that after doing any resizing -- so the stuff in 'mousemove' has finished, and the cursor has been unlocked (mouseleave) -- the mouse stops behaving: 1. the cursor will not change if I move the mouse into the splitter control (mouseenter) 1.1 clicking anywhere in the card/window 'wakes' the cursor up, and the mouseenter code will then fire when appropriate. 2. the first click is swallowed by...something. I haven't figured out where it goes. It doesn't matter where I click, the click doesn't seem to register. 2.1. I can click on the Edit button, and I am not released from Browse mode until I click the Edit button a second time. 2.2. If I try to click on the code editor hiding behind the active card, it does not come to the front until I click it again. Interestingly, if I ignore that the cursor hasn't visibly changed, and drag the splitter around, it does move (and the cursor changes when the splitter first starts to move), and then when I release the mouse button the cursor behaves properly so I can immediately put the cursor in the splitter and the cursor changes. Until I do it again, and then I'm back to the behavior above. So it almost works out to 'every other time it's right.' :?

I have been trying to do a little R and D on this idea, but I am stymied by the fact that I can't even get an app to launch via the command line. I have searched the docs and searched on line, and It seems as though this can be done. But I can't find any really documentation on it, or any examples. I have an standalone called served.app What is the terminal command that will launch it? Are there special messages sent to the stack when it is launched this way? What are the options that can be passed? I have heard a rumor that there is an option -ui, but I have not as yet seen proof of it's existence. Does anyone have any examples or articles on how this is done? Once you have created the standalone, you need to do the following: 1. Select served.app in the finder. 2. Right-click and select Show Package Contents 3. You will find a file called served that finder describes as a Unix executable. 4. Copy the file to the folder from which you want to run it. 5. Open terminal 6. Change to the folder (in 4 above). 7. ./served -ui I found out how to do this from a post on the RunRev Forums from R.Robert Hope this is what you were looking for.

Re: Mouse clicks and cursor change lost after certain actions
That was it! Weird. Thanks!

The code for the horizontal splitter looks like this: - on mouseenter if the tool is browse tool then lock cursor set the cursor to 64 end if end mouseenter on mouseleave if the tool is browse tool then unlock cursor end if end mouseleave on mousemove if the tool is browse tool then repeat until the mouse is up if item 2 of the mouseloc 196 and item 2 of the mouseloc 584 then set the loc of me to item 1 of the loc of me, item 2 of the mouseloc --rect = left, top, right, bottom --adjust the stuff above the splitter set the rect of group DataGrid 2 to the left of group DataGrid 2, the top of group DataGrid 2, the right of group DataGrid 2, the top of me --adjust the stuff below the splitter set the rect of group DataGrid 3 to the left of group DataGrid 3, the bottom of me, the right of group DataGrid 3, the bottom of group DataGrid 3 end if end repeat end if end mousemove --- This works as expected, and the code for the vertical splitter is the same (with obvious changes for resizing the vertical instead of the horizontal). The problem is that after doing any resizing -- so the stuff in 'mousemove' has finished, and the cursor has been unlocked (mouseleave) -- the mouse stops behaving: Terry showed a better way to do this. I think he was right about the problem. MouseMove is sent continually and should be used instead of a repeat loop; combining the two is probably setting up some kind of message queue that needs to clear before anything else happens. A repeat loop locks out all messages until it finishes, and after that the queued messages are handled. The best way to manage things is to use mousemove to do all your resizing; it is sent repeatedly so you don't need any loops. And in between each mousemove message the engine has a chance to do housekeeping and cleans up the queue. BTW, you don't need to check the tool. The scripts won't run unless the tool is the browse tool; otherwise you're in edit mode. I have a web page discussing issues with checking the state of the mouse in a repeat loop, which should be avoided whenever possible: http://www.hyperactivesw.com/polling.html -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
