DataGrid anomaly?

Hi I have a stack that opens a data stack imports an array, processes it and displays the results in a DataGrid Table - pretty straight forward and simple stuff - and all handlers work as they should. Here is the code in the "Open File" button *on* mouseUp retrieveData augmentDataArray

Re: DataGrid anomaly?

Thanks Bob - that works fine. I had tried referencing group "dgDataDisplay" of this card - but that didn't work. So I need to be more precise in naming the card! My stack is a plain vanilla stack with a few buttons and a dataGrid on one card. When I step through the code the error occurs at line

Re: name resolution stinker

Not sure if this will be userful, but would placing the following script in your stack (or frontscript I guess) work easier? command amIHere pName try dispatch "imHere" to group pName of the current card catch tError return false end try end amIHere command imHere return true end imHere

Re: Mobile Native Essentials Widget Pack

I agree these look great, and because I know Digital Pomegranate I can have lots of faith in them - so I will buy them (whenever I next want to do a mobile project). But - I have one (or maybe two) "objections" 1. I don't think items should go on sale on the store with *no* documentation

Re: name resolution stinker

It probably would help but I am referencing the object in other places, for instance I am getting the tablename of group tGridLongName and that fails as well. As I posted the workaround is to reference it by group of Bob S > On Apr 11, 2018, at 09:51 , Mike Bonner via use-livecode >

Re: DataGrid anomaly?

First, I'm curious why you are not simpy setting the dgData to an array. But that aside, what is the name of your datagrid? The error is indicating there is no group by that name on the current card. Another thing that can throw you is if the stack is opened modally. Then it's not the topStack,

But the variable tGridLongName resolves to: "dgsites" of card id 1002 of stack "Sites" of stack "/Users/bobsneidar/Documents/Livecode Projects/Forms Generator 8/Forms Generator 8.livecode" I cannot reference group tGridLongName, but I can reference group tGridShortName of Apparently there is

Re: name resolution stinker

I used DO to evaluate the statement and of course that works, but any reference to group fails to resolve. I worked around this anomaly (which I vaguely recall I've run into before) by using there is a group tDataGrid of tCurrentCard tDatagrid is the short name of the datagrid tCurrentCard

Ok here is a real stinker. put quote & tDataGrid & quote && "of" && tCurrentCard into tGridLongName put (there is a group tGridLongName) into tGroupExists if not tGroupExists then next repeat tGridLongName resolves to: "dgsites" of card id 1002 of stack "Sites" of stack

Thanks Todd and Digital Pomegranate for the release of your first widget pack. These and the others you have planned are essential for LiveCode and its growing user-base. I just bought the widget pack. These are going to be very useful.

Re: name resolution stinker

Not to be argumentative, but I cannot express if there is a tGridLongName. That will not compile. Bob S > On Apr 11, 2018, at 10:49 , Mark Wieder via use-livecode > wrote: > > On 04/11/2018 09:55 AM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: >> But the variable

Re: WordReport Help

While on a walk just now, I was thinking about line endings on Mac vs. Windows - they are different! I think you're right - open your original template in Word for Windows, add your tag, and save & close it. Then it will probably work as you expect. Phil On 4/11/18 10:52 AM, Charles Szasz

Re: WordReport Help

Yes, no end of problems with this "helpful" thing Word for Mac does. It silently changes line endings, borking any file that expects them to be something OTHER than what the MacOS uses. For instance I cannot export an address book from a Toshiba copier and open it in MacOS, *even if I do not

Re: WordReport Help

Hi Charles, On the surface it sounds to me like it might be a text encoding issue. You could do an experiment to find out. Since the textEncode() function isn't available in LC 6.1.3, you would have to use uniEncode() to encode your Word doc content before writing it to disk and handing it

Re: WordReport Help

Hi Phil, Thanks for your input! The data tag was working before this anomaly occurred. The text in the data tag is just regular text. The font is Times New Roman. The text and formatting were not changed in the data tag. I am hoping that someone who uses WordReport can give me insight on

Re: name resolution stinker

Have not tried any of the offerings. But, at least in HC, it was important to isolate all card references with parentheses. Otherwise the engine would concatenate any text following the ostensible card reference and create a mess: blah, blah, blah of (cd id 1002) of stack Not sure if LC is
