Re: Guessing game
For what it's worth, I don't have a gazebo in my back yard either. I suppose that means I'm either a raven or a writing desk. I believe there's actually an answer to that riddle but I can't remember what it is. I think I saw it in the Annotated Alice. Back when we walked to school uphill both ways, I read Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass more than 20 times and I still have a custom drawing of the White Knight someone did for me. It was years before I knew what treacle was. On 4/2/18 3:30 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: First of all, neither has a Gazebo in the back yard...

Aha. Clarity. I'd wondered if properties might be involved but hadn't considered functions. Examples in the dictionary would be great.

Re: Android Native Button
Looking at the code for the android field, it is probably a bug. In that code the type is optional pointer and a check is done that a pointer was returned. That check is not done for the button. Are you sure the font being specified is valid? I have not done anything android, so this is just a quick read of the LCB code.

Re: SoCal LC Meetup Thurs-Special Guest!
When I spoke with Veronica, the restaurant manager, this morning I asked her about that. There are still some details being worked out with the restaurant's new owners, so while they're still waiting for that license she suggested ordering one of their excellent milkshakes instead. :) I have to say, having had one before, I can confirm they're better than beer.

Re: Value & parentheses when doing math
The second one is more readable. The third is unnecessary. The first works just fine. It just depends on how readable you want to make your code for others. I always take the time to put values into their own variables so I can point at them in the debugger and see their current values in the stepper. So: put item 4 of line x of tList into tValue add tValue to tRunningTotal seems to me to be more readable, at the expense of a little extra typing.

Re: variable xref
When Apple went from Carbon to Cocoa, the offered their developers no such migration utility (to my knowledge at least). What they DID do is inform people well in advance of depricating Carbon that the time was coming where adherence to Cocoa would be mandatory, and they offered frameworks and programming guidelines, saying, "Do this this way from now on". There was plenty of time to make the updates. Those who didn't found their software would not run. RunRev has essentially done things the same way. There is usually a lot of discussion and plenty of time and warning before they deprecate anything, and they are very loathe to do it. They almost always opt for backwards compaibility.

Re: Blurring field contents
Thanks for all the suggestions, but blur works really well. I just take a snapshot of the field, blur the resultant image, overlay it on the confidential field, snapshot the entire card to clipboard and then delete the blurred image. I had to manually include it in the standalone, though, which confused me a tad. Also, fields (or is it fonts) are different in LC8. Two fields with identical content, font (arial MS) and settings, one clips the very top of the text and the other doesn’t.Nudging the margin up 1 fixes the issue, but it is a bit confusing.
