Hey Curry, I really appreciate you doing this video / post , hopefully it will have the intended outcome. I must say I am in production with 9 and have been satisfied with the performance so far, but i can't go back to compare so I guess I am happy to hear that there is a boost still to come.

Re: Mobile Rotation Redux

I've posted an updated version of the stack: https://milby.us/lc/MobileDemo2.livecode This version uses the new properties for orientation rects which causes the engine to send resizestack messages on rotation. I've also moved the buttons into a background groups with a behavior that handles the

Stacks in Memory

I have all my stacks configured with destroyStack and destroyWindow (gotta love those names!) set to true. And yet after I close them, if I check the revLoadedStacks() it shows that they and their subStacks are still loaded in memory. What do I need to do to get them out of memory?? Using LC

To answer my own question, although the Property Inspector will allow you to set both the destroyStack and cantDelete properties of a stack to true, cantDelete (when true) blocks destroyStack. I’d set cantDelete to true so that I wouldn’t accidentally delete a stack or sub stack. But generally,

Re: Stacks in Memory

There are a number of things that will prevent destroyStack from working. It will fail if the stack is in use, if there is an open socket, if there is an open driver, and maybe some other things I can't remember. Basically, if any part of the stack is still in operation it can't be purged.

Re: PreOpenBackground Messages

Interesting. Now that I re-read it, I see the solution. That seems really odd though, why would the message go through every background? So, I need a "if pBackgroundID is not the id of me then pass preOpenBackground" in each handler. Now I need to go fix my MobileDemo stack :) Thanks for the

Re: PreOpenBackground Messages

Right, but the message for group B is sent to group A. If A doesn’t pass, B never sees it. I see it in the dictionary, but it seems weird. The openBackground works the same way, but the dictionary entry there makes it sound like the message is direct. I only read that entry which is why I was

The alternative would be to send a separate message for every background on a card. It is odd though. Brian, have you tried the target to determine the group you need? Bob S > On Sep 5, 2018, at 13:55 , Mark Wieder via use-livecode > wrote: > > On 09/05/2018 01:45 PM, Brian Milby via

You may need to pass the message. From the dictionary entry for preOpenBackground: "If the card does not handle the message, or passes it, the message proceeds through each group in reverse layer order (from highest to lowest)." On 9/5/18 12:23 AM, Brian Milby via use-livecode wrote: Quick

Because the background is being opened when the card is loaded. All backgrounds on the card are opened, and therefore pre-opened. Bob S > On Sep 5, 2018, at 13:20 , Brian Milby via use-livecode > wrote: > > Interesting. > > Now that I re-read it, I see the solution. That seems really odd

Re: PreOpenBackground Messages

There is a parameter to tell which group is the target of the message. I didn’t think the group would need to check to see if it was supposed to be the target of the message though. The openBackground dictionary entry doesn’t make that clear. The preOpenBackground dictionary entry does point it

Another Tree View Oddity

Not a biggie, but try getting the hilitedElement of a tree view widget when nothing is selected. It returns empty. Now try setting the hilitedElement of a tree view widget to empty. Runtime error! You have to set it to 0, and then it still returns and displays empty in the property inspector!
