Re: [UPDATE] Free 'Clearview' desktop clock v1.2

2012-10-06 Thread Shawn Blc
Mr. Hugh,

The clock does remember location upon relaunch as long as you haven't
rebooted.  I've also added to Auto-Launch and it launches upon reboot, but
does not remember location.

I love Clockview!

Re: What to intercept for an OS closing of a stack to lock messages

 It occurred to me this morning:  on every output run, I pace my navigation

Could these groups be somehow accumulating and cluttering the message path?

iOS keyboard anomaly?

2012-10-06 Thread Graham Samuel
I am still trying to make sense of iOS text input. I have constructed a very 
small app for testing purposes, in which I instantiate an iOS keyboard and make 
it visible. The visibility includes not only the keyboard but also the 
rectangle (aka field) where the user can type text. This is AFAIK normal. I 
have written a script which uses the keyboard input and mostly it works; BUT I 
can get this app into a state where the keyboard shows up and the input 
rectangle doesn't - I am happy to share the script with anyone interested, but 
meanwhile do folks think this is other than a bug in LC? What's the user of a 
text input keyboard without anywhere to input the text? Has anyone else seen 
this?

Still experimenting but very grateful for any insight.

Graham

Doubtful. My guess is that there's a script running you haven't found 
yet. Open the message watcher and see what's happening when you close 
the stack.

libURLSetStatusCallback Runtime error

2012-10-06 Thread Peter Haworth
I'm getting a runtime error on a call to libURLSetStatusCallback.  The
error is can't find handler and the line in question is:

libURLSetStatusCallback lcDownloadStatusCheck,the long ID of stack
lcStackBrowser_CheckForUpdates

There is a handler named lcDownloadStatusCheck in the stack script of
stack lcStackBrowser_CheckForUpdates and the above command is in the same
script.

The command is executed from an openCard handler for the first card in my
main stack.  The check for updates can be manually initiated via a tools
menu item, is done with the same code, and works with no problem when
initiated that way.

This error has just surfaced now that I'm using LC 5.5.2; in LC 5.5.0 there
was no error but I've long been puzzled why my check for updates at startup
didn't appear to be working.

I'm unclear as to exactly which handler can't be found - lcDownloadCheck is
right there and libURLSetStatusCallback is a standard LC handler.

Re: [UPDATE] Free 'Clearview' desktop clock v1.2

2012-10-06 Thread FlexibleLearning.com
The clock's display and position are stored in a temporary file only. This
seems the least intrusive way of managing things for a non-critical program.
If the temp file is deleted (which is perhaps what your system does on
re-boot), default settings are restored.

Cool you can add the clock to Auto-Launch... I tend to use Windows, and
haven't figured out how to do this!

With best regards,

The 3 major operating systems: Windows, Macintosh and Linux all have a way
to set programs to autolaunch at system startup.

Calling a pdf display through LiveCode, on a PC.

2012-10-06 Thread Francis Nugent Dixon
Hi from Beautiful Brittany,

I have a stack which displays a pdf file, by calling Skim
through AppleScript. Skim has all the required AppleScript
interfaces - a really great app. !!

Unfortunately, it is limited to Mac OS X.

I am looking for a PC app. which I can call with LiveCode.
Adobe Reader doesn't do what I want. Of course, it has to
be free !

Can anybody point me in the rignt direction ?

Rev libraries aren't available until backgrounds are done loading. You 
may need to give it a little more time. Theoretically it should be ready 
by the time your openCard triggers but try calling the handler 
specifically after that finishes using a send in time structure.

Re: [UPDATE] Free 'Clearview' desktop clock v1.2

2012-10-06 Thread Roger Eller
I'm not running Windows at the moment, but there should also be a
specialFolderPath(insert number here)  for this location.  The
advantage is not having to hard-code a path, and you can allow the program
to drop in the shortcut.

On Windows, just run a repeat in Message Box to see all the possibilities.
 Repeat 1 to 100 should cover them all.
