Re: the line number of the top line in a text field

Thanks Mike. You suggestion to use the screenmouseloc works a treat in a static context i.e. after the field has been scrolled. It never occurred to me that I could use a virtual mouse position to provide the information I requred. So while this provides an avenue for part 1 of the puzzle

Re: Uniquly identifying a stack

Pete, Since the OS won't let you have more than one file with the same name in a directory you will either have different file names and/or different file paths even if the files have the same name. Internally you could keep track of the complete paths but since that is probably cumbersome for

Re: Uniquly identifying a stack

Thanks Igor and Bill for the input. Bill - t's almost like you read my mind :-) I think I may not have been clear enough in stating the problem. The issue is not the stack file name, it's the names of the stacks within the stack file and what happens if they change. But I think I have come up

Is there a User Name that can be obtained and put into a LC script

Hi, I'm looking for a fail safe way to get a user name or some other specific type of ID from both a desktop computer as well as a mobile device. I'm thinking of a who am I type lookup -- but for the local user. Does one exist in LC? Does it work with desktop and mobile? I might be able to use

Since the first Thursday this month falls on the 5th, the day after a holiday in which many folks travel, we're deciding whether or not there will be a meeting of the SoCal LiveCode User Group this month in Pasadena - come join the discussion if this is of interest:

Roger, No problem at all. I get stumped by the simplest thing. Actually it feels really good to see issues getting resolved. Tom -- Tom McGrath III http://lazyriver.on-rev.com 3mcgr...@comcast.net On Jul 1, 2012, at 4:01 PM, Roger Guay wrote: Thanks Tom, that did it! I should have known and

Re: Yet Another Sound Problem in iOS

In Sherlock Holmes, the author repeatedly says that the singular cases are the ones which seem the easiest to resolve, since the things that make them appear so confusing server to point to clues. It's the cases which are plain and mundane turn out to be the hardest to solve. I suppose the same

Android: List Field and Native Scroller

Ok... Finally got the Android simulator working and things are humming along. Next question/issue... I have a list field in a group with a native scroller attached to the group. I have a mouseDown handler in the list field dealing with when the user taps a line. However, when you attempt to

which Linux?

I'm going to demo LiveCode to colleagues on Thursday, and one point I want to make is about how cross platform it is. I can show Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, but I'm not set up for showing Linux. For just the purposes of showing how LiveCode apps can work on Linux, which one should I use?

Beta Testers Needed

Folks, I'm looking for a few beta testers for my latest Livecode tool - lcStackDiff. A brief description of what it does follows below. If you would be interested in beta testing, please let me know what platform you can test on and I'll send you the beta version.

Problem with dispatch and passowrd protected stacks

I just came across a bad problem with passowrd protected stacks. I have a button on a card whose handler uses dispatch to send a message to a card in a stack whcih is password protected. When the dispatch is executed, I get a request for the password for the target stack. I'm pretty sure that's

Re: Android: List Field and Native Scroller

That delay seems to be the best choice...how else can you tell if the user (moving in human-time) is going to drag a finger? You don't unless you wait a little while. In a web browser, sometimes you don't care about scrolling, you can try to remove the wait this way:
