AW: why does lock screen doesn't locks the screen?
Good idea Chris, thank you Tiemo -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-livecode- boun...@lists.runrev.com] Im Auftrag von Nonsanity Gesendet: Freitag, 1. Juli 2011 17:29 An: How to use LiveCode Betreff: Re: why does lock screen doesn't locks the screen? lock screen only locks the window contents, not the whole screen (despite the name) and never the cursor. The cursor belongs to the user and lives above the screen. But you can lock cursor to keep in in the shape that you want. I can't get set cursor to none to hide the cursor here, so there may be something wrong with that feature. What you can do instead is make a 16x16 all-alpha png file and import that into the stack. Then you can set the cursor to that image's id and then lock the cursor and do your movements. When the handler exits, the lock will be released, but it's always better to put an unlock cursor (or screen) because these commands stack. (Five locks takes five unlocks.) I made such an image and tested it, and it worked. I'd give you a link to the image, but Dropbox is being flaky right now. Wait... I'll put it on another server: http://nonsanity.com/x/invisible16x16.png And here's my script. I made sure the points I picked were over different objects, like a field, to make sure the cursor wouldn't change as it would normally. on mouseUp set the cursor to 1007 lock cursor set the cursor to 1007 wait 50 repeat with a = 1 to 4 set the screenmouseloc to word a of 202,398 290,270 168,222 363,594 wait 50 end repeat end mouseUp Hope that helps. ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 4:14 AM, Tiemo Hollmann TB toolb...@kestner.dewrote: Hello, In a function I set the screenMouseLoc to four different locations on an image to get the mousecolor of these four locations. I have set the screen lock at the beginning of the function, but the cursor is flickering at all four locations, so obviously the screen is redrawn everytime I set the mouse at a new location though the screenloc is true.

Re: object beneath mouseLoc?
Try the mouseControl - that should work. Phil Thanks, Phil. Didn't know about that function. But, still a no-go. My script relies on mouseMove and mouseStillDown to let the user select grouped objects by dragging the mouse. I'd also now like the script to know when the user has moved out of an object, even if the mouse is down. According to the docs, though, if the mouse button is down, the mouseControl function returns the control that was clicked, even if the mouse has moved to another control. I tested mouseControl out anyway, and sure enough, only the clicked control gets returned. Perhaps there's other suggestions... -- Nicolas Cueto ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Could you track mouseEnter messages to capture the object rect entered Way back when, I tried both mouseEnter and mouseLeave.

Re: interesting custom property behavior...
It turns out when you set a custom prop from within a LC custom property inspector, it doesn't pass the setProp message. I'm sure this design is on purpose, but I wonder why? I believe the property inspector locks messages before setting properties. But that's just dragged from somewhere in my memory - I don't think it's documented and I couldn't tell you why I think that or if it's right. It does seem to fit empirically though. You're absolutely right, Mark... I ran into this same thing when prepping for my demonstration of DropTools at the LiveCode TV #29 event. I even called Richard to confirm that this wasn't a bug. Sure enough, messages are being locked, and there's a note in the IDE script for the handler related to bug #8345: # OK-2009-10-17 : Bug 8345 # We should lock messages whenver a property is get or set to prevent code # execution caused by custom getProp / setProp handlers. Failing to do # this causes the user to be confused about the actual value of the property # and also could cause stacks to be broken e.g. by running code the user # hadn't finished testing and accidently deleted objects. I've since had to explicitly tell people using the LC IDE to set custom properties via the Message Box (or use the MC IDE, where this doesn't happen). Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Re: interesting custom property behavior...
Sure enough, messages are being locked, and there's a note in the IDE script for the handler related to bug #8345: Yeah, I ran into this when I was throwing PowerTools together as well and had to some some arcane scripting to get around the problem when trying to set default properties for objects. Ah... perhaps messages should be locked when *getting* a custom prop, but unlocked when *setting* it through the Inspector...? Oh well, the point is moot now, I'd think.

RE: record sound problem on windows
Alex, Your Windows test wave file sounds like some recordings I've seen where the sample rate or sample size is not stated correctly in the file's header. I've seen this happen with some audio drivers that are not capable of recording at a particular combination of sample rate and depth. I downloaded your test stack from the bug database and tested it in Windows 7 and Windows XP. I had to build a standalone because I don't have LC IDE on the XP machine. In Windows 7, I saw no problems recording and playing back from either IDE or the standalone. In Windows XP your standalone recorded one click per wave file (a tiny wave file at that), nothing else. I then modified your stack to include a call to QTVersion in openCard (to make sure QT is loaded), and also to set the sound parameters to 44 kHz, 16 bit, 2 channels. This still worked fine in Windows 7, and produced a good recording in Windows XP, except that for some reason the wave file could not be played by the Sound Recorder, although it played fine with the VLC player. This may have to do with the codec that QT used to make that compression. I didn't look into that. I think you can try loading QT in openCard and using different recording parameters. I am no expert in LC or its sound capabilities, but I will need to record sound in my next project, so I'm trying to learn about it. Compared to Adobe Director, which I had used for ten years before I started playing with LC 8 weeks ago, the sound recording and playback functions in LC rudimentary. Which makes me think that some real programmer may have written an external for sound in LC that you and I don't know about... anyone knows more this?

Re: object beneath mouseLoc?
For the OP: my Klondike stack polls is within on dozens of controls on each mouseMove message, many times per second, and shows no sign of delay. It's very fast. Jacqueline, If you could give a figure more precise than dozens, I'd appreciate it. I too had thought about polling for is within for each of the controls. But there's 36 max, plus there's other things going on (sequentially and sometimes at the same time), so thought it'd slow things down. Which is when I decided to contact the list.

If you were making a word game, where you want the consecutively passed over letters to join the increasingly long string, you would only need to check the x,y being within the eight tiles or less that are next to the last letter chosen. At least one of those tiles is likely to already be in the string, and so wouldn't need checking. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

At the very end of a mouseUp handler of a button I have this: on mouseUp . focus on field SearchTarget put the name of the focusedObject cf after msg end mouseUp And I do see [field SearchTarget] in the Message box, as expected. But then focus immediately shifts to the card. I know that because I added an idle handler to the card script: on idle put the name of the focusedObject cf after msg end idle And I see this in the Message box: field SearchTarget card MainCard card MainCard card MainCard etc. So I know that the focus is on the field for a moment, and then leaves the field and switches to the card. But I don't understand why this happens. I don't have any code that executes after the end of that mouseUp. Breakpoints and the Message Watcher are no help. How can I find out what's happening? The vexing thing is that I think this wasn't happening yesterday... What can it be? The field is focusable and not locked, and if I click in it, I can input text. In fact, I can remedy this situation by this kludge: on idle if the short name of the focusedObject is MainCard then focus on field SearchTarget end if end idle But I don't like that kludge. Any insights would be very welcome.

[TEASER] Google OAuth 2.0 demo screencast
Hello Folks, Today I managed to implement Google OAuth 2.0 authorization with LiveCode. The library is very simple to use, it will authorize you but it will not help you with the other thousand Google APIs. All it does is authorize access to protected resources, you then access those resources using the normal API for the given resource passing along the authorization code you received. To show it working, I have a little webcast where I use the library to access my Google Contacts data. The Google Contacts API will return an XML with the contacts. http://andregarzia.com/shots/shell-20110705-1.webm http://andregarzia.com/shots/shell-20110705-1.mp4 This OAuth 2.0 library is a part of my soon to be released Social Networks Library Suite. Most of Google services are already available thru OAuth 2.0. The new Google+ service has no API right now but Google will provide one soon and it will be available thru OAuth 2.0 (all new Google APIs are). The social network library suite will be dual licensed. Open Source developers can use the library for FREE provide they abide by GPL rules. Developers wishing to close their source will be able to buy a commercial license. The initial offering will (probably) be: lib.aag.json BSD License A simple library for converting JSON to Revolution Arrays lib.aag.google GPL Commercial An OAuth 2.0 authorization library for Google Services lib.aag.facebook GPL Commercial An OAuth 2.0 authorization library for Facebook along a minimal wrapper to help with their API I will soon start a little fundraising campaing to help me develop these and other libraries further. Stay Tunned! Andre Garzia PS: Whats wrong with Twitter?!?! Argh, they keep changing stuff... -- http://www.andregarzia.com All We Do Is Code. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: object beneath mouseLoc?
On 7/4/11 7:59 PM, Nicolas Cueto wrote: Well, my solution was to use Jacqueline's idea of polling all the controls for an if within. Also followed Dave Cragg's advice about mouseLoc (x,y) values. That's how my Klondike solitaire game worked too, using a flag if the mouse was down and the x,y coordinates passed by mouseMove. You asked about dozens -- it depends on where you are in the game. There are 52 playing cards in a deck and depending on how the card piles are arranged, I sometimes needed to poll most of them, especially if nothing had been played on any aces yet. Stack works fast. But on machines that are VERY old... It was fast back in 2002 when I wrote it in MetaCard too. The polling was never a problem. The mouseMove handler had to drag up to a dozen cards behind it if the user wanted to move a long pile to another column, and originally that part did lag a bit, you could see the line of cards sort of fan out behind the drag, but on today's machines that doesn't happen any more. The response is smooth. Klondike is uploaded to OnRev if you want to look, but it sounds like you've got it figured out now. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
