Re: vCard/vCal Parsing?

Do you actually mean vCal ? or (more likely) vCalendar - which is the one that is very similar to vCard ? vCalendar (better known nowadays as iCalendar) is probably as much of a minefield for incompatability as vCard :-) I have a library for *helping to* deal with these, called icsLib. It

Sounds like a bug to me (could you please open a report) although I’ve got to admit the icon picker needs a rethink. It probably should just allow you to pick any loaded stack that has 1 or more image objects. Cheers Monte > On 12 Sep 2016, at 11:03 AM, Richard Burkett

The "of stack b" part, delineates where the pseudo property resides. Since there is no getprop nSL of stack b, you get nothing back. Better off to create a function that takes an object reference as a parameter, and make sure its in the message path so you can hit it from anywhere. On Sun, Sep

Hmm. Ok. My mistake. Seems to work.. is stack B a substack of stack A? If not, that might be the issue.. If stack b is a mainstack, then the request can't go up the message path to stack a, which then makes my previous point applicable. On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 3:59 PM, Mike Bonner

Standard Icons for buttons in version 8.1 Standalones

When I build a standalone using LiveCode 8.1 (any version so far) the icons that I have selected from the “Standard Icons” tab for button icons don’t show up in the standalone. They’re there when I’m using LiveCode to open and edit the stacks. Is this a bug, or are the non-resizable icons now

When you are debugging the script editor, things like breakpoints don't work. When I hit a "pass", figuring out who the caller was can be a little hairy. On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 9:11 AM, wrote: > Hi. > > > Breakpoints don't work? Hard breakpoints? Has v.8 (?) gone that batty?
