Re: Text field in Windows standalone not receiving keyboard focus

2021-01-31 Thread Andrew at MidWest Coast Media via use-livecode 
It turns out that this bug was actually another bug manifesting itself. There 
was a rogue browser widget (not visible) hiding in another group on the card 
gobbling up keystrokes on Windows platform.

What’s worse is that the same bug bit me in the ass a year ago too. Fool me 
once, shame on you.

Hi Camm

The mergExt externals are supported by LiveCode so the best route for support 
is supp...@livecode.com .

Cheers

Re: Which of the current FTP legends should I be using?

2021-01-31 Thread matthias rebbe via use-livecode 
Hi PrestoBruce,

just a shot in the dark..., but how did you fill the pData parameter? Did you 
use 

put URL "binfile:..." into pData 

or maybe by mistake 

put URL "file:" into pData

That would explain why the data is corrupted after upload.

Re: Is the DateFormat read only?

I tested out the TimeZone library with a couple of randomly chosen timezones - 
and they all came back incorrect (i.e. unchanged from UTC even though the 
timezones should have been different). I know that if you pass in a timezone 
that is not in the local machine's database, it will silently return the UTC 
value - but that's not the case here.

I've now looked at it more closely - some of these timezones give the right 
answer, some give the wrong answer - though they are all in the TimeZones() 
list.


Alex,

After you mentioned the problems with the timezone library I had a look and it 
turns out that some of the timezones on the TimeZones() list are deprecated and 
they resolve to UTZ.
I forgot to post that I bug reported the problem in case anyone runs into it.

Kind regards

Re: installing and running LC on 'headless' linux server

Mark that is interesting. I would like to something similar during the Learning 
Cohort coding sprint over the next 12 weeks.

I’d be happy to write up documentation and create a community GitHub project 
around that approach including Nginx config etc?

Re: installing and running LC on 'headless' linux server

2021-01-31 Thread Mark Talluto via use-livecode 
One more thought came to mind. You should run the executable in the
background by applying an & as in this example:


./yourCoolExecutable -ui &


If you run the executable from terminal and you do not apply the & the
executable will die as terminal quits.
