Richard: > Any way to abort this?: > on mouseUp >repeat > answer "Hi" >end repeat > end mouseUp There is a good chance of succeeding if you hold down Enter continually to actuate the dialog OK while clicking rapidly on the toolbar Property Inspector icon. If the Inspector appears, you can use it to select your button, edit the script, add a breakpoint, "OK" and then stop the script. It's also possible to open the Message Box this way or (for slightly different code) turn off messages. Depending on the exact code and situation it may take a while to get back control but it's nice when it works! BTW I'm on Windows, real Windows that is. :) I think I've used this technique on Mac too but let me know if it works.

The traditional xTalk solution for this is Cmd-./Ctrl-,. which safely exits to top with a notification the the script was aborted. It worked that way in HC, SC, and IIRC every other xTalk I've used, even in the middle of a loop calling "answer". This escape is partially implemented in LiveCode, but there are cases (like calling "answer" in a loop) where it isn't yet. It would be a VERY useful addition to this xTalk dialect to have feature completion on this. I'm guessing there's something about the LC engine that makes this harder to do than in any other xTalk.

Richmond: > The whole discussion is becoming a "pane" and I for one am "board". > "a real Windows machine" is almost as meaningful as phrases such as > "real men stand up to pee". It was clear; you confirmed your own understanding in that very first post, so I saw the objection as more of an attempt to signal virtue. If that helps anyone feel some self esteem, I'm glad. This machine was designed specifically for Windows, so the description is appropriate. And maybe more relevant to testing LiveCode 815 than standing to pee. But on that subject, which I never imagined seeing here, I would advise males to pee in the most manly way possible during coding breaks. Stand proudly, preferably sporting a Molon Labe T-shirt and oversized belt buckle with a rebel design. Extra points for carrying around a bowie knife or a LiveCode powered mobile web server. Use this moment to celebrate the masculine heritage that only real men can fully experience and embody as they pee. Then go back and dominate that code like a true alpha! Does that seem like we're getting off track a little? Oh yes, I was saying that this LC version is working much better on my machine than the previous two. It makes an efficient 8 workflow possible, and that is much appreciated. Thought the feedback might be useful.

Re: "clipsToRect" property
On 6/14/17 1:51 AM, Quentin Long via use-livecode wrote: My 2 cents' worth: Rather than "clipsToRect", call the property "visibleRect". Because that's what it is—it's the rectangular area of the screen, within which the specified portion of the group is visible. I like that, but for the "English" description. It's too late to change clipsToRect since it's already in the engine, but I'd go for "Visible rectangle" or "Set visible rectangle". -- 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

On 2017-06-14 02:18, Monte Goulding via use-livecode wrote: I think this is one of those cases where the default behaviour was a bad idea. Or perhaps was implemented before groups were used for much other than backgrounds. Other objects we need to set to the formatted width/height so why are groups special cased. Anyway, I would keep it simple and use `Clips to rect` so at least it’s easy to relate to the dictionary entry/property name. Notionally 'backgrounds' don't really need an extent - they should be card sized - the difference being that controls are shared amongst several cards. Of course MetaCard generalized 'the background' to multiple backgrounds and then groups (which aren't backgrounds) - however, as this was done 'evolutionary', we've ended up with several properties for controlling them which interact not-all-that-well. If you step back and look at the types of 'group' thing which actually get used, then there are probably only three main ones: 1) Card sized layers which are not shared amongst cards (foreground groups, if you like) 2) Card sized layers which are shared amongst cards (background groups, if you like) 3) Groups with an explicit rect which are not shared amongst cards (control groups, if you like) (Variants of these where the content rect is distinct from the visible rect are also plausible - i.e. scrolling views). Currently (1) and (2) are catered for because groups (by default) resize to the size of their controls; 'clipsToRect' caters for (3). I'd perhaps suggest that 'Clips to rect' or similar is a suitable name for the property. Why? Because that is precisely what it does - all children are clipped to the rect of the group, rather than the group's rect being resized to accomodate them so they are not clipped.
