Re: Problem with setting Password with LC 5.5.3

[Charles Szasz]

Jacque,

Thanks for the explanation. I will go ahead and remove the passKey from my 
launcher stack. This should solve the problem as my app stack should be 
password protected from attempts to edit the scripts in it.

You're welcome, Glen.  So now I've tried optimizing for speed and legibility.  
Would you check the timing for your data, please, and report again?
Invoke it like this:
digest tLines, tGroupSize, tResult

Any questions?

command digest @pLines, pGroupSize, @rResult
   local tLineNumber, tArray, tMin, tMax
   repeat for each line tLine in pLines
  -- note:  create tArray[  ] = 
  if item 2 of tLine is not among the keys of tArray then
 put item 1 of tLine into tArray[ item 2 of tLine ]
  end if
  add 1 to tLineNumber
  if tLineNumber is pGroupSize then
 put item 1 of the extents of tArray into tMin
 put item 2 of the extents of tArray into tMax
 put tArray[ tMin ] & tab & tMin & cr & tArray[ tMax ] & tab & tMax & 
cr after rResult
 put empty into tArray
 put 0 into tLineNumber
  end if
   end repeat
end digest

Re: Mobile Scroller with Snapping?

[Scott Rossi]

OK, I think I figured out the problem.  Apparently
mobileControlGet(theID,"vScroll") sometimes returns a decimal value (i.e.
10.5), but LiveCode doesn't allow setting the vScroll of a field to a
decimal value, so the field wouldn't scroll.  Rounding
mobileControlGet(theID,"vScroll") appears to have solved the problem.

[Endorsement] lcTaskList

[Paul Looney]

Fellow LiveCoders,

I've been using Bill Vlahos' lcTaskList since he introduced it.

A few months ago I wrote how much I appreciated it - and that appreciation has 
grown with time and use. We are completing a huge, year-long project. In such 
big projects there is code that must be fixed now, and code that should be 
fixed when time permits. The latter is easy to forget or lose. With the 
lcTaskList you can mark the code that needs future attention and come back to 
it systematically when there is time. You can also be more certain that you 
have, indeed, addressed everything that needs attention in a piece of code.

The lcTaskList reflects Bill's usual attention to detail and interface. It is 
built well beyond its price.

I've met Bill but have no affiliation with him - I just like this product. If 
you deal with large pieces of code, in one project or many, I think you will 
also find the lcTaskList helpful.

Re: App & desktop combo project

[Colin Holgate]

I don't think the letting them use the file on iOS if they paid for it on 
desktop will work out, unless you put in a feature into the desktop one that 
gives a link to the iOS app, maybe using custom URLs?

As for the normal in-app purchasing system, you don't need to keep track of 
things. When the user does a reinstall of the app (as opposed to an update), 
you can give them an option to restore old purchases. You then ask the app 
store if that person has paid for that item, and if they have, it's downloaded 
again.

App & desktop combo project

[Peter Bogdanoff]

Hi,

I'm planning a program that is a desktop application and also an iOS app.

The program is a series of audio-only classical music lectures.

The desktop version is a one-time $50 purchase of all the lectures. The app 
version is a free version containing 1 lecture with possible in-app purchases 
of additional single lectures or, all of the other lectures (for a discount).

I've not yet done any iOS development or dealt with app store mechanisms and 
have some questions.

1. So when someone does an in-app purchase, I would keep track of what the user 
has purchased as a saved bit of data, then unlock the purchased lectures. Is 
this the recommended method? If someone reloads the program onto their device 
after getting a new phone or deleting the app, they would have to depend on 
their backup. If they don't have a backup, then what?

Or I suppose, that I could save that data on my remote server...

2. If someone purchases the desktop version, I would like to give them the iOS 
app free. Can this be done? Does the App store accept coupons or such? I'm 
assuming that I don't get any personal information from Apple about who buys my 
apps, so I can't even give someone store credit if they purchase both versions.

Mobile Scroller with Snapping?

[Scott Rossi]

Has anybody been able to set up a mobile scroller with scrolling that
"snaps" to a predefined distance?

I have a set of icons in a vertical scroller which I want to snap to a
multiple of the icon height once the scroller completely decelerates/stops
dragging.  Using 5.5.1, the routine I built works fine in the iOS simulator
but intermittently fails on an iPhone 4 in that the snap doesn't always
occur.  The code is apparently executing correctly, both scrollerEndDrag and
scrollerEndDecelerate messages are being received, but again apparently
intermittently.

I'm trying to submit this week so am under  the gun time-wise.  Thanks for
any suggestions.

Re: pFirstLineContainsHeaders is being ignored in DataGrid

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Roger,
You can set the column names using another property, the dgProps["columns"]
of .  That property is a list of column names, one per
line so you would set that property to the first lien of your file with the
column separator (comma, tab, etc) replaced with return.  After that, you
can either still set the firstlinecontainscolumns to true and present the
whole file as the dgText, or set it to false and just present lines 2 to -1
of your file as the dgtext.

If you need to somehow set the column labels to something different than
the column names, you can use the dgProps["column labels"], once again, one
column label per line.  Don't need to do that if the column labels you want
are the same as the column names.

Re: pFirstLineContainsHeaders is being ignored in DataGrid

[Robert Sneidar]

Make sure the first line of column headers are the *actual* names of the 
columns in the datagrid. Otherwise you will get nothing in the datagrid, 
because no columns matched what was in your headers. Note that initially some 
are confused, thinking the column LABEL is the column NAME. Not true. Verify 
the column headers are identical to the actual datagrid column names.

 "pFirstLineContainsHeaders" is not a property of the datagrid, but a
 parameter for dgtext!
 
 So this will work:
 ...
  set the dgText [TRUE] of grp "DataGrid" to URL ("file:" & it)
 ...

Re: All DataGrid's updates the hilited index together

[Robert Sneidar]

Without perusing your code and the card you are working with, there is no way 
to tell. Only thing I can suggest is, if it is your code that is doing this, 
put breakpoints in your code and step through to see where the effect is taking 
place.

Re: pFirstLineContainsHeaders is being ignored in DataGrid

[Roger Eller]

Hi Pete,

Well this changes everything!  Literally!  So, if I wish to re-order the
columns, this will fit the bill quite nicely.  Thank you for clarifying
what this param actually does, Pete.

Back to what I was trying to do... If I need the first line of the imported
text file to define the header names of each column, I will need to script
that manually for each column, right?

I don't see any references to data grid properties like dgText in the LC
dictionary.  There are a few lessons on the RunRev site, but I don't see an
example of how to do this with a built-in function.  It's roll your own
time, I guess.

It's likely. Rev 2.9 was released almost 5 years ago and a lot has 
changed since then, especially since it didn't expect a 64-bit Windows 
OS. I think you'd be doing yourself a favor by updating.

Re: pFirstLineContainsHeaders is being ignored in DataGrid

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Roger,
That parameter doesn't change the column names, it just defines the order
of the column data within each line of dgText.  If it's false, then the
dgText is expected to contain the column data in the order the columns are
defined to the datagrid.  When true, then the first line of dgText defines
the order of the column data by specifying the column names, for example
Col2,col1,Col3.

Re: pFirstLineContainsHeaders is being ignored in DataGrid

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for the quick reply, but I still can not get it to work as you
describe.  I have tried in Revolution 4.0.0, LiveCode 5.5.1, and LiveCode
5.5.2.  Without any parameter, the grid is populated without the headers
changing.  With the parameter [TRUE], the grid is not populated at all.

Opening a stack crashes RevMedia, and message box won't work

[dfepstein]

I have encountered two strange new symptoms using RevMedia 2.9 on a Windows 7 
machine.  I do not know if they are related. 



1.  I often write stacks on my Macintosh with Metacard 2.0, then run them 
successfully in Windows with RevMedia 2.9.  But for a new stack that works fine 
on my Mac, opening it in RevMedia causes Rev to quit, with no warning or 
advice.  I tried opening the same stack with a script "lock messages; go card 1 
of stack x", but the result was the same.  

To try to troubleshoot, in a separate stack, I put the script of stack x into a 
field; edited the script to comment out the "openStack" and "resumeStack" 
handlers (the only ones that I see that would execute when the stack is 
opened); set the script of stack x to the revised version; and saved stack x.  
(Somewhat to my surprise, this all seemed to work, since I thought that such 
commands mean that Rev loads the stack into memory; so why no crash in this 
case?).  (Card 1 of stack x has no script). 
How can I diagnose the problem? 



2.  When I try to execute any command in the Message box, I get an error 
message, indicating that Rev has been tripped up on this line: 

  do "global" && the globalNames 

of the "revExecuteMessage" handler in the script of field "Message Field" of 
stack "Message Box." 



Any suggestions? 



Many thanks.

I'm sure you've checked, but is the "removed" group also missing from 
the backgroundnames?

RE: [ANN] lcSTackBrowser V 1.2.0 Released

Peter,

Nice!! A must have of any LC developer.

-Original Message-
From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf
Of Peter Haworth
Sent: Monday, December 10, 2012 1:45 PM
To: How to use LiveCode
Subject: [ANN] lcSTackBrowser V 1.2.0 Released

Version 1.1.3 of lcStackBrowser, a plugin replacement for the Livecode IDE
Application Browser is now available
here
.

This version includes several significant enhancements.

*Live Find*

A new "Live Find" field at the top of the lcStackBrowser stack window can be
used to quickly locate an object by name.

As you type into the field, the first object whose name matches the typed
characters will be highlighted in the display.  The search starts from the
current highlighted line and collapsed objects will be expanded if
necessary. After a line is highlighted, you can keep typing more characters
or click the up and down arrows to the right of the Live Find field to go to
the previous/next qualifying object.

Using the dropdown menu to the left of the Live Find field, you can save
your search strings, execute saved searches, and remove saved searches from
the list

*Integration with explicitProperties plugin*
*
*
Alex Tweedly's explicitProperties is a great way to protect yourself from
typos in custom property names which can cause difficult-to-debug problems.
 It finds custom property references in a stack and gives you the option of
adding each one to a list of valid custom property names.
 explicitProperties is free and you can download a copy
here.
 Note: You must have explicitProperties V1.1.1 for the integration to work.

The explicitProperties valid custom property names will be displayed in the
lcStackBrowser Script Assist palette.  Double clicking on one will insert it
into the current position in your script editor window in the form "the
 of ".

*Auto commenting of end if, end repeat, and end switch statements*
*
*
A new "Auto Comment" button is available on the Script Assist palette.

Place the cursor anywhere in an end if, end repeat, or end switch statement,
click the Auto Comment button and a comment will be appended to the end
statement consisting of the contents of its corresponding if/repeat/switch
statement.

"pFirstLineContainsHeaders" is not a property of the datagrid, but a parameter 
for dgtext!

So this will work:
...
  set the dgText [TRUE] of grp "DataGrid" to URL ("file:" & it)
...

pFirstLineContainsHeaders is being ignored in DataGrid

[Roger Eller]

According to this datagrid lesson, this should work but it does not.  Could
someone please confirm?

http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/datagrid/l/7309-how-do-i-populate-a-data-grid-with-data

on mouseUp
   answer file "Select a Tab Delimited text file:"
   set the pFirstLineContainsHeaders of grp "DataGrid" to true
   set the dgText [ pFirstLineContainsHeaders ] of grp "DataGrid" to URL
("file:" & it)
end mouseUp

The headers remain as "Col 1"  "Col 2",  etc.

the difference between "goup" and "background" is the way Livecode sees them!
Groups are counted relative to the current card, backgrounds to the stack!

...
put the num of groups
## will give the number of groups of the current card!
...
put the num of backgrounds
## will give the num of ALL groups in the current stack!
...

That's why you need to add the card descriptor when using "place GROUP xyz..."

This is very strange and should not happen, keep an eye on it :-)

All DataGrid's updates the hilited index together

[Ueliweb]

Hei

I have 3 DataGrid on one card (all with another name).
If I click/ double-click to one DG (doesen't matter witch one) to a Row ->
the other both DG's update the hilited the Row with the same index too.

I put away all "me" in all scripts of this card and the stack and replaced
them with the real name like:
... of group "dataGrid name" of this card of this stack
But the behavior is still the same.

Functionally there looks to be everything OK just this wrong changes of the
hilited Row of the other 2 DG's


some Idea?
