Re: 5000 lines of code
Mark Took me a couple of times through that to get what you meant. Ah... you mean that same switch code is duplicated in other objects as well. What I'd do in that case is move it out of the objects and make a handler farther along the message path (the stack script, for instance) as command ParseIt switch blahBlahBlah end switch end ParseIt then in the mouseUp handlers just say on mouseUp ... ParseIt ... end mouseUp it's make maintenance much easier and your stack will lose a bit of flabbiness in the process. It certainly seemed like good advice until I tried what you suggested: I moved the recyclable code into the stack script and called it from each object. BUT, the interesting thing as that, while the objects called the code successfully, it meant that the individualised segments of code in the object that came after the recyclable code stopped working properly.

Re: 5000 lines of code
I moved the recyclable code into the stack script and called it from each object. BUT, the interesting thing as that, while the objects called the code successfully, it meant that the individualised segments of code in the object that came after the recyclable code stopped working properly. Did you try referencing variables instead of passing them as parameters? Usually if you call a function (or a handler) and have it return something, it will be a single string which can be used to update a single variable in the calling handler. In the case of multiple variables that need to be updated, consider using reference parameters, therefore the calling handler will already have the updated contents of each variable. Example is shown in the dictionary by finding @ The character @ is placed before a parameter name to pass a reference to the parameter instead of its value. Pass a parameter reference when you want a handler to change a variable in the calling handler, or when you want a handler to return more than one value.

Frankly the stuff about the firewall did seem a bit odd; although I couldn't for the life of me have explained why in the way you did. I actually felt that this article was a bit odd in that what it seemed to be saying was that Ubuntu was not as goofy as an plain vanilla install of Windows; i.e. not as easy for end-users to play silly films on. What could also be pointed out is that people like myself keep being rung up by desperate people who have bought PCs with Windows installed on them (usually illegally, here in Bulgaria) by engineers who don't really bother hardening the install at all, so that the punters will come back on a 4 to 6 weekly basis and pay good money for sorting out problems with a Windows install that shouldn't have occurred had the installer taken a spot more trouble over it. My experience is that a plain vanilla install of Ubuntu (i.e. monkey just keeps pressing the default button during system installation, and does nothing further after install) will be entirely usable (apart from mentioning that Linux doesn't do viruses), while Windows will keep flashing up cryptic messages about drivers and so on, ad nauseam; as well as getting compromised really very rapidly indeed. As far as I can see the only sin of Ubuntu is that Shuttleworth and his merry men have managed a very clever balancing act with Canonical in keeping Ubuntu largely open source, and free, while making money at the same time. To me that seems far from sinful; even if it has both Richard Stallman and Bill Gates frothing at the mouth. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this

Try using Andre's FTPCommander.rev at RevOnline If that does the job, then look at the scripts to check his extra commands/settings that you may require to be more robust. - from his email in 2004 Hi Folks, just added a button to set permissions on remote FTP files, it's the 'Perms' button, you use it like the CHMOD command in unix by setting it to a number like 755 (Ie: CGI) or 777 (Ie: CGI-Folders), if you don't know what file permissions are, then you should not be messing with them on your FTP... =) - Pete, I could not check it out just now since RevOnline was not letting me get connected, but it is up there, i saw it a couple weeks ago.

Re: Edit field into datagrid
I may misunderstand, but it sounds a lot like asking what car should you buy to get groceries from the store. ;-) It's too vague. WHICH field? Which row? Which column? Not enough info. If you mean you want to begin editing at the first row, first column, or perhaps save the last edited cell and enter that when you click the button, that can be managed. I'm not quite sure where, but in the behavior script of your datagrid, there should be a method or command for editing a cell. It's what you get when you double click on a cell in an editable datagrid. I don't have the time to look into it myself, but if you do it will be a good lesson on the inner workings of a datagrid. But since your user can double click to edit a datagrid, why would you need a button? Also, it *may* work to simply send a double click to the location of the cell you want to edit. But that is a bit kludgy. Bob On Jun 9, 2011, at 7:06 AM, Alessandro Pisoni wrote: how can I create a button that when I click I go to edit a field in a datagrid?

Re: [OT] Apple at it again
I rather expected this too. By setting draconian price guidelines initially, they can control the market prices. The other requirement of must-also-be-listed makes sure those controlled prices get used. Then a few months later, before legal conflict can come to fruition, Apple revokes these limitations. But the market has been established under their control, and is likely to not drift too far from their desired model after they relinquish control.

Re: Local files in revBrowser
There was some definite corruption (possibly during the move from the mac to windows machine?). I cleaned things up as best I could, got the map to work, but not the route stuff. I then grabbed the example of simple direction (the one that just draws the route) and adjusted the map.html to match, including the extra parameters you had set up. In chrome it works great (I have it set up with 2 fields so you can pull up a route between wells and bristol) It also works famously when pulled up with iexplore directly from the file. In revbrowser, it loads, the screen goes blank, (just the browser portion), the map is no longer showing (no errors.) If I resize the stack, the map flickers in and out, and if I stop at a good location, the map draws and looks fine. If I then use the dropdown selectors I added to bring up the route between wells and bristol, screen flickers, and poof. Map is gone again. Resizing makes it come back if I drop in the right spot. Same with zooming in and out using the controls. Its hit or miss (mostly miss) as to whether the map will or won't show.

Standalones Not Working
I’ve got an app I’ve been working with for years. I hadn’t compiled it into a standalone for maybe a year or more. It works fine within LiveCode, but now I can’t get the standalone to work. There are at least two symptoms: The standalone’s window is cropped short on the bottom. It’s missing about as much as the height of the title bar at the top of the window. Also, the standalone appears to not be communicating with the data files even though they seem to be in the right place within the standalone OS X package. I just noticed that my data files have two extensions. They all end in .edb.rev. That can’t be right. They should just end with .edb, right? That’s how they are before I make the standalone. I’ll bet this is the problem. Why would the standalone making process be putting .rev extensions on these data files? Chopping off the .rev part makes the data files work in the standalone. Is this a bug? I’m using LiveCode 4.5.3. That still didn’t fix my problem of having the bottom of the standalone window cut off, though.

find by content with Mac OS
My feeble brain seems to suggest that Mac OS find-by-content will not find text in an ordinary field in a LiveCode stack (not to mention a button or script). I just tried it. OTOH, I don't have much confidence in my feeble brain. Am I right? If so, is there any way to enable such a feature? Off-topic, it also appears that find-by-content doesn't find text in Stickies, either. I always assumed it would, but never bothered to check, until today. Both items are inconvenient.

Re: Standalones Not Working
Hi Steve, Here are 18 Reasons Why Compiling with RunRev (LiveCode) May Fail: http://qery.us/pr (or rather, the solutions). The cut-off at the bottom is connected to the menus and the destroyStack and destroyWindow properties. Try toggling those. I bet that you have assigned your .edb files as stack files. LiveCode reads those and adds the .rev or .livecode extension if they don't have one. This problem should no longer occur if you add the files as normal files rather than stack files. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 9 jun 2011, at 22:26, Stephen McNutt wrote: I’ve got an app I’ve been working with for years.

Reconnecting a stack's datagrid with its template in a stackrunner situation
Hi Gang I'm still grinding away at this thing. Maybe I didn't describe the situation very well. or else it's impossible. To recap I'm trying to get a Datagrid to work in a stack that works fine by itself in the IDE (with the datagrid template in a substack), but fails to work in a Stackrunner style stack launcher. My launcher is an application that includes all the libraries and engine and a base stack, and provides a listing area to choose a stack to 'GO' to . This thing works great and I can store them online and use my utility stacks without having to compile. It's an expansion of an idea by Ken Ray. However, Datagrids, as discussed earlier, seem to break under these conditions. Why, I don't know. I put a command line kind of diagnostic field in the app so I could check out more. I can see the substack and its templates exist by using commands in my fake 'message box' I put in the stack for diagnostics, while running in stackrunner mode. By the way, this stack functions as designed in the 'suspend IDE controls' mode. I've tried (per the docs for expanding the same template to many grids) *set the dgprops[row template] of group OutputGrid to the long id of group id 1006 of card id 1005 of stack Data Grid Templates 1307301831663 of stack onlinelistmanager* (grp 1006 is the Row Template) With no error, but the grid is lifeless. Can't scroll, can't put data in etc. There must be a methodical way to re-connect the datagrid with the template in the substack. Is there more to re-connect that the Row Template? This is a stock table style datagrid. Is there more datagrid 'stuff' that needs to be included that gets added by the standalone builder? (and yes I've seen the lesson that deals with 'splash stacks' - this is different in that each stack needs it's dedicated template to come in with the stack) These datagrids are sensitive - they don't like me monkeying around. thanks in advance for any advice. -- Stephen Barncard San Francisco Ca.

Re: find by content with Mac OS
Thanks Jim and others. I have worked out ways to search my LC stacks quickly and conveniently (more or less) for the things I need. I can always use the find function in Stickies. I can search my email messages in Mail. This is the usual procedure. I always had the vague idea that find-by-content in Mac OS, was available as a last resort if I couldn't find something important. Today I was searching for some notes I made several months ago. I couldn't remember whether I had saved the notes in a LC stack, in stickies, in an email I sent to myself, or whatever. I thought find-by-content would help me find the notes. I knew they contained some rare or unique words. It didn't help. I can't fault other developers if Apple itself doesn't enable find-by-content in its own applications. Come to think of it, find by content probably doesn't work for bookmarks in Safari. Nor does it work for events in iCal. Nor any content in Address Book, nor email messages in Mail -- not sender nor recipient nor address nor content. Funny, I always assumed it did all of these things, but never thought much about it. On the other hand, if Apple and other developers can easily enable find-by-content, but don't, this seems inconsiderate all around. If Apple doesn't want to bother supporting its own feature, and doesn't want to encourage developers to support its feature, maybe Apple should eliminate find by content. At minimum, Apple should take more care to notify users that find by content only searches a small subset of all the files on their hard disks, or even their documents folders. Regarding LC scripts, it appears these are not indexed, either. There are plenty of unique strings in my LC scripts. They are not turning up. At one time, find-by-content was supposed to be a thrilling new feature in some Apple OS rollout. Maybe OS 7? I long ago abandoned the naive daydream that computers will make my life more convenient. Every new feature introduces new complications. So, I'm over it.

Re: find by content with Mac OS
Hi Stephen, As far as I know, Command-F and Spotlight invokes the same functionality. In my previous message, I mentioned that find by content is not finding content in Safari Bookmarks, my saved email messages in Mail, and so on. This, I discovered by trial and error, and I assumed it was a feature, i.e., intended by Apple. OTOH, I'm aware of many complaints that Spotlight fails to index things it is supposed to index. Also, recall that I wrote: I don't have much confidence in my feeble brain. At the moment, this conversation is going sideways and I'm wasting everybody's time. Sorry about that. I'll force Spotlight to re-index and see what happens. Apparently the list agrees that LC fields don't get indexed in find-by-content, and there's no simple answer for that. That is useful information, mildly frustrating. Cheers, Tim On Jun 9, 2011, at 6:13 PM, stephen barncard wrote: You haven't used Spotlight?

Re: Reconnecting a stack's datagrid with its template in a stackrunner situation
Hi STephen, Yes, I think we've all found that datagrids are sensitive! I don't have an answer to your problem, probably only Trevor can solve it. The only thing I can contribute is that table style datagrids that have no customised columns will work even if their template card doesn't exist. I found that out by accidentally deleting template cards in an attempt to tidy up the Templates stack, and it was subsequently confirmed by Trevor. I don't know if you have customised columns in the datagrid, but just mentioning this so you don't waste time focusing on template issues.
