OK, I’m making progress here. But I’m finding that ask and answer dialogs are opening off-screen. How are their positions determined? Marty > On Jan 10, 2019, at 6:44 PM, Brian Milby via use-livecode > wrote: > > I do see one issue with the “effective” dictionary entry though. Normally >

Re: screenRect and screenLoc weirdness

I do see one issue with the “effective” dictionary entry though.  Normally you are not able to set effective properties, but for stack rect properties it is permitted. topLeft and topRight also need a clarifying statement to indicate that multiple monitors could cause the main screen topLeft

Re: screenRect and screenLoc weirdness

It is part of the “rectangle” property.  The individual pieces are not enumerated. Thanks, Brian On Jan 10, 2019, 8:08 PM -0600, Paul Hibbert via use-livecode , wrote: > Interesting! - it does appear to work, but that combination is not in the > dictionary under “topLeft” as far as I can see,

Re: screenRect and screenLoc weirdness

Interesting! - it does appear to work, but that combination is not in the dictionary under “topLeft” as far as I can see, and “topLeft” is missing from the list of properties shown under the “effective” description. Paul > On Jan 10, 2019, at 17:03, Brian Milby via use-livecode > wrote: > >

Livecode Server Post

When do a post to an LC server script from a .html form no output of "put"s are displayed, just a blank screen. There is also a slight delay until the screen clears. I tested to see if the LC script is actually being executed. It is because I created a file but no display of "Put"s. If I change

Re: screenRect and screenLoc weirdness

You may want to use the “effective topLeft” though. Otherwise the title bar of the window could be off screen. Thanks, Brian On Jan 10, 2019, 6:42 PM -0600, Knapp Martin via use-livecode , wrote: > I will give those a spin - thanks Monte. > > Marty > > On Jan 10, 2019, at 4:39 PM, Monte

put item 1 of the working screenrect into tLeft put item 2 of the working screenrect into tTop set the top of stack “x” to tTop set the left of stack “x” to tLeft I’m sure there are more efficient ways, but that is the idea.  You just need to calculate the offset from the origin manually.  Of

Re: screenRect and screenLoc weirdness

I was merely using that as an example. In my app I too place a toolbar in the topLeft corner of the screen by setting the topLeft of the stack to 0,0. On a single screen setup it works fine. But I've just discovered that on a multi-monitor setup as I've described, the toolbar isn’t even visible

Re: screenRect and screenLoc weirdness

When I open Livecode on my dual monitor setup where the top of the 2nd monitor is higher than my main monitor, both the Livecode toolbar and the script editor open partially off screen with their title bars inaccessible. I understand that I can type something into the message box to relocate

Tom the issue here is that it is arguable that this is a bug. We have lots of things to work on which we are sure about ;-) To clarify what I mean. Which set of results is more correct? Main screen rect: 0,280,1280,1080 2nd screen rect: 1280,0,3200,1080 Main screen rect: 0,0,1280,800 2nd

i don't like how long a bug like this has been in the queue without being fixed. I'm surprised it hasn't affected more people but i guess maybe thats why its lower in the queue. Sorry, but I don't know of any remedies for this. On Thu, Jan 10, 2019 at 5:24 PM Knapp Martin via use-livecode <

Re: screenRect and screenLoc weirdness

Wow, that’s been around for a while. Anybody have a work-around seeing as how this is unlikely to be fixed? Seems like setting the loc of a window to the center of the screen would be an often used feature. I never noticed it because I don’t have a multi-monitor setup. Marty > On Jan 10,

So I just had a customer complain that windows were opening in odd locations with his multi-monitor setup: a MacBookPro with a Thunderbolt display. He has his displays arranged so that the bottoms were aligned with the 2nd display to the left of the MacBook. So I hooked my laptop to my TV and
