New stack window has 2 title bars

[ELS prothero via use-livecode]

Folks:

I’m setting up my app, which involves moving from a splash stack to a setup 
stack, then to one I”m using for an index to the application. The first stack 
opens fine and there is a single title bar, but when that setup stack opens a 
third stack, it has two title bars. Each time I open a new stack, I make sure 
the calling stack is closed and removed from memory. To go to a new stack:

set the destroystack of myCallingStack to TRUE
go stack newStackPath  —includes full path to the stack, in IDE
send “close “&myCallingStack to my newStackName in 1 second  —closes the 
calling stack

The splash stack opens the setup stack with only a single title bar, but when 
the setup stack calls the index stack, I get two title bars at the top of the 
new window that opens. Probably something stupid I’m doing, but …
What’s going on?

Re: A poor man's app updater

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

Thanks, Jacque, as usual your ideas are excellent. I’ll see what I can do to 
follow your advice and report back.

As ever, it’s one of those deployment things that I would imagine affects 
everyone who publishes an app that isn’t distributed via some app store, but it 
doesn’t seem a popular topic. 

Graham
BTW, I certainly use installers, and they’re code-signed too, to simplify 
matters for users.

There are user interface conventions/guidelines for mice with mouse
wheels (typically a wheel between the 2 mouse buttons you can spin
forward or backwards with a finger). If a scrollable user interface
object has the focus and you spin the wheel, the user interface object
(field, scrolling pane, slide, whatever) should "scroll" without you
having to point to it or click on it.

I am unfamiliar with the A1152 Apple mouse (although I just googled a
picture of it). I don't know is the "scroll ball" of that mouse is
supposed to act like a "scroll wheel". Here is a typical HP (windows)
2-button mouse with a scroll wheel for comparison:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/V8SoWc38ieyPF1NWe42050HkHEuamfAFk4dXP7yqNZsoFhUvjh6iA3FoBovbAROR7tmX4q69=w640-h400-e365

I don't know if that information helps, but there it is.

Re: Mouse wheel scrolling support...

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

At the risk of sounding both naive and stupid I have just pasted a large 
text into a field
with a vertical scrollBar in a field in a stack in LC 7.1.4 on Mac OS 
10.7.5.


With the "blobby thing" that passes for a scroll wheel on my A1152 Apple 
mouse

I am able to scroll up and down in the field with no trouble at all.

So, would be glad if you could explain in a bit more detail what you mean
by "supporting scrolling fields by use of a mouse wheel".

Richmond.

See the use of the 'effective' keyword in the dictionary under the
rectangle property. Essentially the 'effective rect of window X' minus
the 'rect of window x' give you the height of the title bar for teh top
coordinates and the size of the border for left, right, and bottom
coordinates.

Is that the event message LiveCode generates when a mouse with a mouse
wheel is turned? I can find no documentation on mouse wheel support in
the scrollbardrag dictionary entry. I also do not have a mouse with a
mouse wheel, so I am sort of looking for a proven, known approach that
works.

In my specific case, I am looking to not only scroll a field (in one
context) but in another window enable a scroller/slider to be moved by a
mouse wheel and another a scrolling group.

Please note that I would like to create a new variable, not to put the

I would like to have something like this (PseudoCode)

Mouse wheel scrolling support...

Does anyone have any code for supporting scrolling fields by use of a
mouse wheel that they would care to post or email me?

A search showed that this has been discussed in the past and seems to be
possible by creating an appropriate handler in LC, but my Google skills
failed me in finding an example of such a handler.

Thank you to anyone in advance,

Re: Stupid Question Again - Proportional Scaling

This is common I think for apps which have a set of fields displaying data, 
tables etc. Maybe there are some panes and tabs, but to reduce the window to 
less than x,y would require the contents to be scrollable. We have an app whose 
window settings get corrupted if Windows Display has a scale factor set over 
100%. Another app will simply refuse to run if the resolution of the current 
monitor is below a minimum. A lot of times developers don't want to deal with 
window geometry. Their solution is to tell you, "Don't do that" when it comes 
to window sizing, or they don't allow you to do it at all.

Re: tsNetSmtpSync (with attachment

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Sounds like the receiver is blocking attachments. Many mail gateways do this, 
either because the extension is not allowed, or the attachment is too big.

Re: Dinamyc variables.

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

This is what Macro Substitution was created for, but LC doesn't have that 
function. Say you have an accounting app where you can load different 
companies. The names of the tables and support files on disk are serialized 
with a 2 digit number representing the company number. In Foxpro when you load 
a new company, you *could* reference the files using macro substitution: 

open file &tCompanyPath&tModule&tCompanynum

Of course there are ways around this. Someone pointed out using an array, which 
is a variable containing other variables in essence.

Re: What LC or OS incantation do I use to involve the onscreen keyboard on a Win 10 tablet?

[Richmond via use-livecode]

I thought my buying USB Microscopes in LIDL was an all-time low . . .

Mind you, a friend of mine bought a kilt there.

Right click (hold and release) in the textField, and select show touch

Fairly inconvenient!

Here's some horrible Visual BASIC:

Sub Keyboard()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

Call ShellEx("C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft 
Shared\ink\TabTip.exe")


ProcedureExit:
Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Error" & ": " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & "Description: " _
& Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Module1.Keyboard"
Resume ProcedureExit

End Sub

I have seen a few complaints online that seem to suggest that this is how it 
works in Win 10.  I have a hard time believing that because it is so 
spectacularly stupid and irritating.

I don't, frankly.


Some apps seem to have worked around this problem, and I hope that someone on 
this list has also done so.

Any advice?  If I have to roll my own KB + field avoidance+ text entry system I 
will, but surely that shouldn’t be necessary?

Best wishes,

this is a case for DO! :-)

...
put the short name of this cd into tCardName
do ("put empty into " & tCardName)
...
Et voila, an empty variable with the name of your card.

If you need to create MORE than one variable from strings, just create an array 
with the string(s) as keys.
...
put the short name of this cd into tCardName
put empty into tArray[tCardName]
