Re: How to tell when IDE is done loading

2014-12-27 Thread Michael Doub
Jacqueline and Mike, thanks for you help with this. Just to clarify, I am trying to solve the problem in the environment where livecode is not running and the user double clicks on the MasterLibrary stack. This is not a standalone program but a stack that is being started from the desktop.

You're trying to set the property of a proprety. the text of fld... is a property, so if you just do set the textfont of word 1 to -1 of field i to empty, I think it should work. On Sat, Dec 27, 2014 at 9:50 AM, Dr. Hawkins doch...@gmail.com wrote: I am having trouble clearing the textfont of

Other people may already know this, but I just discovered that you can do something like: put 12.34.56.78 into p replace . with empty in char 4 to -1 of p and sure enough, you get 12.345678 I did not know that the replace command can work on a chunk within a variable. The documentation

Nice :-) This isn't limited to variables but for works for fields as well. Taken the liberty of entering an Enhancement Request - 14311 - that the Dictionary entry be amended to include your example and note that replace can also be used on chunks within a container, not just the entire
