Adding items to a group

Hi folks, The app I’m currently working on features a poem presented as a series of fields (each containing one word of the poem) all grouped together, so that the poem can be scrolled vertically by the user. I need to be able to add extra words to the poem as the user drags them in from a set

RE: Cross Platform Font Layout - current workarounds

The problem was the lack of any mouseUp message at all when swiping horizontally, making it impossible to swipe for navigation over a scroller. We used a kludgy workaround, but the problem has been fixed now, so the next update can be completely cross platform without any diversions. --

Whilst Mark provided what Phil needed, I too cannot believe how easy and reliable Geoff's Navigator is. I use it for everything. When I need an Inspector a double-click on a line in Navigator brings it up. I love it. On Wed, Aug 26, 2020 at 7:14 PM Bob Sneidar via use-livecode <

Re: Strange behavior between Mysql, MariaDB and SSL.

There are also free MySQL Connectors/ODBC available for different operating systems. The current ones are for Server 8.0,5.7 and 5.6. https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/ They connectors can be downloaded without the need to be logged in. So no need for an account registration at

Re: Adding items to a group

Also, Geoff Canyon wrote a GREAT utility called Navigator, which among other things, allows you to drag objects around in a hierarchical list. If you drag an object in a group to somewhere outside that group, into another group let’s say, it does all the relaying for you. I cannot tell you how

I tried to build a stand alone to my desktop under Big Sur, but my Mac would not let me because of permissions or provisions or some other such new restriction (I haven’t paid my $99, so I’m not a real Dev as far as Apple is concerned) so I went back to Catalina and everything worked. Sent

Hi Bob, It worked from Linux, Mac, and Windows. Your idea sounds really good, but to be honest, I'm pretty busy these days and I wouldn't like to deal with making middleware. I just looking for a quick fix. Maybe in the future, I’ll have to do it. Best, Hery -Original Message-

DataGrid 2 swipe actions

I was inspired by today’s Lockdown Learning Series presentation and looked at adding swipe gestures to a current project. This whole process made WAY more sense after re-watching Michael’s presentation (I saw it live too, but was over my head last year). I’m struggling with a large DG. I’ve got

J, I take it you referring to the premature mouse "down/up"s you get with Android while perusing in a native scroller. This is not a problem for me in iOS. I put in a simple timer and it does not adversely affect iOS(or affect it in any way) but does make the scrolling in Android work as
