Gems indeed! If they always work, I wonder why the mother ship hasn’t

If I understand what you are suggesting then the problem is that the vertical scroll of the page would be reset. There is no guarantee that the page load will happen quickly.

Re: How to tell if it's a datagrid
Hi Craig. Thanks for the reply. One of the goals of any utility script I write is to make it usable in any circumstance. Using naming conventions violates this principle. However your first comment seems like it would work. There is only one control where the dgProp ["control type"] is "data grid" but not for the owner, and that is the datagrid itself. That might do the trick! I must have been in a coding fog not to think of that yesterday afternoon. It's been getting foggy of late. ;-) Bob S > On Jan 4, 2018, at 21:06 , dunbarx via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi. > > Can you both check dgProp ["control type"] AND see if the owner of that > control is a group where that property also exists? > > Or, and I hesitate to mention it, why not just either name all your DG's a > certain way, or set a custom property for each of them?

Then you could add in "onChange" of the editor an insert of target="_blank".
So the links won't work in the widget but in browsers.
I use this in the free hhTextEdit-Full (to appear) that also does editing like
the paid Froala.
May be similar to this (here written with jQuery), preserving on-page-links:
onChange: function(contents, $editable) {
$('a').each(function () {
if ($(this).attr('href').charAt(0) != '#') $(this).attr('target','_blank');});
}

Yes, I am aware of how to cancel clicks using JavaScript. Remember that my
original post stated that I was looking for a way to cancel navigation
using a method other than JavaScript (which is the solution I’m currently
using) :-)
Ideally the browser widget would allow us to cancel navigation links using
LCS.

In the case of the mobile browser control on iOS webView notifies the instance when the browser is being asked to load a url. The implementor (LiveCode in this case) can say yes or no. LiveCode is dispatching the browserLoadRequest message so that we can determine if the url should be loaded using LCS. If we define the browserLoadRequest message in LCS but don’t pass it then LiveCode tells webView not to load the url. It would be nice to be able to do the same thing using the browser widget. -- Trevor DeVore ScreenSteps www.screensteps.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
Function for returning a list of objects on a card
Hi all.
I put together a couple of handlers that will return all the objects on a card
in the form of an array whose elements are the objects names as a return
delimited list, the Long IDs as a return delimited list and an array of the
properties of each object which properties are passed in a parameter. The
syntax is:
put getCardObjects(pCardID, "rect,visible,owner") into aCardObjects
Set the second parameter to whatever properties you want returned. But here's
the problem. The owner property returns empty. It works fine when I use the
message box, but not in the script. That has to be a bug. Here is the code. If
someone can verify they have the same problem and it is not an issue with my
code, then I will post a bug report with a sample stack. Nothing on the QCC I
can find. Put the following in a button on any card with objects:
on mouseUp pButtonNumber
put getParentCard(the long id of me) into pCardID
put getCardObjects(pCardID, "rect,visible,owner") into aCardObjects
breakpoint
end mouseUp
function getParentCard pObjectID
put offset("card id", pObjectID) into tStartChar
put char tStartChar to -1 of pObjectID into tCardID
return tCardID
end getParentCard
function getCardObjects pCardLongId, pPropList
repeat with i = 1 to the num of controls in pCardLongId
put the long id of control i of pCardLongID into tControl
put the name of tControl into tControlName
switch
case the dgProp ["control type"] of tControl is "data grid" and \
the dgProp ["control type"] of the owner of tControl is "data
grid"
next repeat -- This is a control of a datagrid. We only want the
datagrid itself.
break
case the dgProp ["control type"] of tControl is "data grid" and \
not (the dgProp ["control type"] of the owner of tControl is "data
grid")
-- this is a datagrid
add 1 to tCounter
getObjectProps tControl, tControlName, tCounter, pPropList, aObjectData
put tControlName & cr after tObjectNames
put tControl & return after tTempObjectList
next repeat
break
end switch
-- what remains is a field, button or graphic object
add 1 to tCounter
getObjectProps tControl, tControlName, tCounter, pPropList, aObjectData
put tControlName & cr after tObjectNames
put tControl & return after tTempObjectList
end repeat
put tObjectNames into aObjects ["names"]
put tTempObjectList into aObjects ["IDs"]
put aObjectData into aObjects ["props"]
return aObjects
end getCardObjects
on getObjectProps pControl, pControlName, pIndex, pPropList, @aObjectData
repeat for each item tProp in pPropList
put the tProp of pControl into aObjectData [pIndex] [pControlName] [tProp]
end repeat

Re: Function for returning a list of objects on a card
Here is a workaround. Replace the getObjectProps function with the following
function. I suspect there are other properties that will return empty instead
of what they should. Apparently the long id will return empty too:
on getObjectProps pControl, pControlName, pIndex, pPropList, @aObjectData
repeat for each item tProp in pPropList
put pControlName into aObjectData [pIndex] ["controlname"]
if tProp is "long id" then
put pControl into aObjectData [pIndex] [tProp]
else if tProp is "owner" then
set wholeMatches to true
put wordOffset("of", pControl) into tFoundWord
if tFoundWord = 0 then
put empty into aObjectData [pIndex] [tProp]
else
put word tFoundWord +1 to -1 of pControl into tOwnerID
put the name of tOwnerID into aObjectData [pIndex] [tProp]
end if
else
put the tProp of pControl into aObjectData [pIndex] [tProp]
end if
end repeat
end getObjectProps

SQL Query not working
Hi all.
I know I'm missing something here, but this query works in an SQL editor, but
does NOT work with revDBExecute():
create table "arraydata"
("recordid" NUMERIC PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL UNIQUE,
"rect" VARCHAR,
"controlname" VARCHAR,
"owner" VARCHAR,
"visible" VARCHAR)
put revOpenDatabase("sqlite", "MEMORY") into tDBID -- verified tDBID returns a
number
put revDBExecute(tDBID, tCreateCommand) into tResult -- verified tCreateCommand
is EXACTLY what worked in SQL Editor
The error I get in a try/catch construct is
219,1198,14,revDBExecute
465,1198,14
No very descriptive.
Any ideas?

Visibility problem
I have a substack which is supposed to contain logging data. It’s got a single card and a single scrolling field. Being at an early stage of development, I have this bit of code to be sure it’s working: put empty into fld "TheLog" of cd "Log" of stack "TheUninstallLog" set the visible of stack "TheUninstallLog" to true put the visible of stack "TheUninstallLog" answer "We should see the log window now! Its visibility is" && (the vis of stack "TheUninstallLog") Under the IDE, I do indeed see the stack, but in a standalone, I get the ‘answer’ output showing the visibility to be true, but it remains invisible.

Re: Trying to delete a Mac application
OS X locked down the Application folder a while back. I haven't changed the permissions so it still asks for authorization when I try to remove an app. This will vary by user. But also, when you delete an app, you are the user that may have permission, but when the app does it, I don't think you're the user any more, the app is, and it may not have permissions to alter that folder. I don't know if the applescript will work but it's worth a try. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On January 5, 2018 2:25:28 PM Graham Samuel via use-livecode wrote: Thanks to Klaus and Ken, I know how to address the Mac Applications folder.

Can anyone find anything wrong with this sqLite insert statement?
INSERT INTO arraydata ("rect","controlname","owner","visible") VALUES

It doesn't generate an error, but neither does it insert anything! There is a

automatically if no column/value is supplied.

Possibly, but every sqLite reference I've looked at seems to indicate that I should enclose string values with single quotes, and since my text contains double quotes, I thought that would do the trick.

This BTW is why I use sqlYoga, so I don't have to deal with this syntax crap, but I am writing a function that I want to be universally viable.

Also, you don’t want to quote your column names. put 0,43,500,543 into tRect put “image “ & quote & “fresh_now.png” & quote into tObj put “card “ & quote & “Main” & quote into tCard put false into tVis revExecuteSQL myID, "insert into arraydata (rect,controlname,owner,visible) values(:1,:2,:3,:4)", “tRect" ,”tObj”,”tCard”, “tVis” This is also best practice, because it protects against SQL injection attacks. (Admittedly more of a concern with network databases.)

Re: SQL Insert Syntax
Thanks for your help all. I think with everyone's help I have it working, but now I am trying to use a memory based database using :MEMORY: for the database name. I ensured all databases are closed using revOpenDatabases() which returns empty. But now each time I attempt to create the database I get the result "table "array data" already exists. I though closing a memory database deletes it from memory. If not, how do you clear a memory database?

Re: SQL Insert Syntax
Hi all.
Here's a new toy for everyone to play with. It takes a numbered array of
key/value pairs and converts it to a MEMORY database. Why you ask? So you can
query against it of course!
In my particular case I am getting an array of every object on a card EXCLUDING
objects that are elements of a datagrid (that would be way too much data for me
to care about) so I can query against it. For instance, given one of the
columns is the name of the object and I want all the images, I can query for
all image records:
select * from arraydata where name LIKE 'image %'
You can see how handy this would be, rather than iterating through every
element of an array to find ONLY the array records you want.
Here's the code:
function arrayToMemoryDB aArrayData
put the keys of aArrayData into tArrayKeys
sort tArrayKeys numeric ascending
put ":MEMORY:" into tDBFile
put revOpenDatabase("sqlite", tDBFile) into tDBID
put "drop table arraydata" into tDropSQL
try
revExecuteSQL tDBID, tDropSQL
put the result into tResult
catch tError
end try
-- create the table
put "create table" && quote & "arraydata" & quote & cr \
into tCreateCommand
put "(" & quote & "recordid" & quote && "NUMERIC PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL
UNIQUE, " & cr \
after tCreateCommand
put the keys of aArrayData [1] into tRecordKeyList
repeat for each line tRecordKey in tRecordKeyList
put quote & tRecordKey & quote && "VARCHAR, " & cr after tCreateCommand
end repeat
delete char -3 to -1 of tCreateCommand
put ")" after tCreateCommand
try
revExecuteSQL tDBID, tCreateCommand
put the result into tResult
if tResult is not 0 then breakpoint
catch tError
breakpoint
end try
-- insert data
repeat for each line tKey in tArrayKeys
put aArrayData [tKey] into aRecordData
put 1 into tCounter
put "recordid" into item tCounter of tColumns
put ":" & tCounter into item tCounter of tColumnData
put tKey into aColumnData [tCounter]
repeat for each line tRecordKey in tRecordKeyList
add 1 to tCounter
put tRecordKey into item tCounter of tColumns
put ":" & tCounter into item tCounter of tColumnData
put aRecordData [tRecordKey] into aColumnData [tCounter]
end repeat
put "(" & tColumns & ")" into tColumns
put "(" & tColumnData & ")" into tColumnData
put "insert into arraydata" && tColumns && "VALUES" && tColumnData
into tInsertSQL
replace quote with "\" & quote in tInsertSQL
replace "'" with quote in tInsertSQL
try
revExecuteSQL tDBID, tInsertSQL, "aColumnData"
put the result into tResult
if tResult is not 1 then breakpoint
catch tError
breakpoint
end try
end repeat
return tDBID
end arrayToMemoryDB

Are you talking about Property Profiles on the General Tab? Also which version of LC? For that, see the “profile library” association in the dictionary (9.0DP11).
