Re: Formatted text in a field.
Yes Peter is right. If all you are looking to do is display the two pages then this might be the go. If you place a field f1 on a page and set it up the way you want (size, text characteristics etc) and then make two copies, field fa and field fb. Then make f1 invisible. make a button to load the pages like: --intialize script-- global pn global pr on mouseUp set the htmltext of field f1 to YOUR_STYLED_TEXT_VARIABLE put 1 into pn put the pageranges of field f1 into pr put line pn of pr into pr1 put line pn+1 of pr into pr2 set the htmltext of field fa to the htmltext of char (item 1 of pr1) to (item 2 of pr1) of field f1 set the htmltext of field fb to the htmltext of char (item 1 of pr2) to (item 2 of pr2) of field f1 add 2 to pn end mouseUp ---end initialise--- Then a next page button script is simply... ---next page--- global pn global pr on mouseUp put the pageranges of field f1 into pr put line pn of pr into pr1 put line pn+1 of pr into pr2 set the htmltext of field fa to the htmltext of char (item 1 of pr1) to (item 2 of pr1) of field f1 set the htmltext of field fb to the htmltext of char (item 1 of pr2) to (item 2 of pr2) of field f1 add 2 to pn end mouseUp ---end next page--- Works a charm. It just depends on what your intention is. If this is only for display or printing (the inspiration for the property) then this is the neatest way to go. But if you want greater user interaction, then maybe not. In my application of this idea I am using the first method I mentioned (group scroll). I want my users to be able to select text over more than one page and to view what may be just overleaf (say at the end of page 2 and the beginning of page 3) without having to jump back and forth.

transparent “multiline” UITextField
I’m trying to make a transparent “multiline” UITextField in iOS. Unfortunately, it remains opaque both in the simulator and on an actual device. If I switch the style of the UITextField to “input” then it becomes transparent. I’m doing something along the lines of: mobileControlCreate multiline, pFieldName mobileControlSet pFieldName, rect, tRect mobileControlSet pFieldName, opaque, false mobileControlSet pFieldName, visible, “true I’m suspicious that it may be operator error since I can’t get it working under the last several previous LC versions and I didn’t notice a bug report.

Re: Firels as containers
Hi, Indeed, the destroyStack property being set to false was the reason why the stack appeared to be saved while it wasn't. Also, because the global variable gRevStackStatus[stackName] isn't updated if a script changes the value of the field, the Save prompt wasn't triggered when Muaadh chose Exit from the File menu. While this is a little confusing if you only use the IDE and usually don't make standalones, I don't think this is a big issue, because the project would eventually run as a standalone and would need its own saving routines. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 4/2/2014 19:38, J.

Re: Formatted text in a field.
Thank you! Using the pageranges is pretty clever. So clearly the engine knows how to do these calculations, so I have to believe that all of the properties must be available to us to do the same calculation. The one that I think I am not understanding correctly is the property for the number of pixels in the visible part of the field. I thought that would have been the height of a field - boarder - margin. Thanks again, Mike On Apr 3, 2014, at 2:06 AM, jameshale ja...@thehales.id.au wrote: Yes Peter is right.

In fact, it worked fine without setting the opaque property. The old iOS release notes (and the current dictionary entry for mobileControlSet) give a confusing description of the opaque property of mobile native controls: Set to false if the control should be rendered with transparency. In particular, set this control to true if you set a backgroundColor that is not fully opaque. Months ago I had printed out the release notes for closer study. Next to that paragraph I penciled in the comment ?. Indeed. Can anyone explain what that means?

Just turn off the scrollbars (make the field a regular non-scrolling field.) You can still set the scroll of the field whether the scrollbars are there or not. On each page turn the script could set the scroll of fld 1 to (the effective textheight of fld 1 )* 12 + the scroll of fld 1 If fixedLineHeight is true you will already know the number of lines displayed.

Re: New browser
Hi Jacqueline, in case you mean the ability to call a LiveCode handler from within the browser using the new revBrowserAddJavaScriptHandler command and not the other way round (like using revBrowserExecuteScript) my finding is that this works as expected. As an aside I noticed that on Mac the performance of JavaScript animations, which are pretty smooth using the current revBrowser external, is extremely bad. Hope this will change. Apart from that I am really happy with the move to a modern browser component. Ralf On 02.04.2014, at 04:43, J.

Problem with building standalone
Approximately 20-40% of the time when I go to build a standalone, the LC IDE just quits - without building. I have to restart LC and try again. Usually, this is what happens: I again ask to build the standalone. LC asks if I want to save my stack, even though I had just saved it before attempting to build the standalone. If I say don't save then LC usually just quits again. If I save it again, then LC usually (but not always) will go ahead and build the standalone.

It turns out, a little confusingly, that you have to set the alpha channel on the backgroundColor rather than the opaque property: mobileControlSet pFieldName, backgroundColor, 255,255,255,0 mobileControlSet pFieldName, opaque, false I tried it with the opaque property set to both true and false; it didn't seem to make any difference. In fact, it worked fine without setting the opaque property. The old iOS release notes (and the current dictionary entry for mobileControlSet) give a confusing description of the opaque property of mobile native controls: Set to false if the control should be rendered with transparency. In particular, set this control to true if you set a backgroundColor that is not fully opaque. Months ago I had printed out the release notes for closer study. Next to that paragraph I penciled in the comment ?. Indeed. Can anyone explain what that means?

Re: multi-line constants? (for RSA keys)
Thanks, I think I remember what the issue was now. If you want your stacks to be writable, they cannot be part of the app. Is that correct? So if the application has the need to save things like persistent properties and such, you HAVE to separate the substacks, thereby making them runnable in the IDE. So the only real solution it seems to me is to password protect all the substacks before compiling, and then write code into the stacks to prevent them from running if they are the topStack of themselves.

Re: very, very slow on Mac Mini
One thing that can cause really bad performance (but you would see this happen globally for all apps) is that if there are bad sectors on the hard drive, writes to the bad sector(s) will cause the OS to attempt to move the data to another and lock out the bad. This is a super high priority event, even higher than mouse and keyboard events, and if the procedure fails, the next time a write to that sector is attempted, the same thing can happen. I’d backup and then do some disk checking. Bob On Mar 31, 2014, at 17:12 , Dr. Hawkins doch...@gmail.com wrote: My application performs snappily on my iMac and powerbook, both with 16gb.

Re: A weird bug/occurrence
Sounds like you are getting some kind of screen redraw bug. That being said, one thing that can cause controls to not be seen is if they are in a locked group, and having Select Grouped set to select individual controls, if you drag the items in a group outside the locked boundaries of that group they become invisible. Try setting Select Grouped Controls the copy all the controls on the card to a new card in a new stack. See if your redraw issue occurs then. If not, it’s something in the card or stack that is causing this. If so, then begin deleting one control at a time until the problem goes away.
