Re: Lock and Unlock Screen (was Refactoring. etc...)

Hi Alex, This is fairly long but there is no code in the explanation. I ran into this problem last year. I have a stack that monitors 3 security systems. You can switch between the system with the one stack or you can use 3 separate stacks to monitor the different systems. Here was my

Yeah, that seems like it might work - but it doesn't. on mouseUp    put 1 && the lockscreen after msg    set the lockscreen to true    put 2 && the lockscreen after msg    wait 0 seconds with messages    put 3 && the lockscreen after msg end mouseup gives 1 false 2 true 3 true I

Folks: Ok, if there is a way to get the name of the stack containing a particular handler, I’ll use it. Otherwise, each “feature” stack will return a precoded name. I had to fiddle to get the polling to work without errors. The impetus for this is to re-factor the code for a project that’s

Folks: Sorry, I accidentally sent the email before finishing it. Here’s the complete message. But perhaps I’ve solved it. I only need to put the name of the “feature” stack in the pollActions handler. Anyway, I still have my question. I’m trying to implement a structure where I can simply add

Folks: I’m trying to implement a structure where I can simply add script only stacks that seamlessly add capability to my app. To do this, I have all of the “feature” stacks in a given folder, and when I initialize the app, I start using all of the “feature” stacks. Then I want to initialize

RE: Refactoring is your friend / moving from 6.x to 9.x

A SQLite memory database is the same as a SQLite file database except it's created for just the instance that app is running. You have to create table(s) and field(s) for those table(s). Then the app then populates the data and queries it. SQLite memory database supports the same SQL syntax as a

Re: Refactoring is your friend / moving from 6.x to 9.x

I'm generally deficient when it comes to databases but curious how one creates a memory based one. Is there a trick, and does it work with others besides sql? This is probably a newbie question. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software |

Re: Refactoring is your friend / moving from 6.x to 9.x

Find/Replace works great. I've done it a few times, so long as the thing you are finding has a unique name that cannot be a part of any other bit of code, you should be fine. Backup your stack of course before doing something so drastic. A while ago, the LC dev team optimized the search

How do I get the RGB color of a pixel of an image? I know the function the MouseColor, which gives me the RGB numbers under the cursor. What I need is to get the RGB of a specific screen location - I need to make an avarage of e.g. 5x5 pixels. So how do I get the RGB numbers of e.g. location

Not sure if this is still relevant in LC, but in HC, lock screen commands were queued. So the fix, so that one did not have to count the number of locks through perhaps several handlers, was: repeat until the lockScreen is false unlock screen end repeat Craig -- Sent from:

Re: Interrupting "Wait"

Its more complicated then that. I have struggled with this before, it’s about "running a show" of events where there is wait time and lock screen involved and the user want to quit in the middle of a repeat loop The following the repeat loop takes over the CPU, so a mouse down on a button
