Re: FormattedHeight

2020-05-01 Thread J. Landman Gay via use-livecode
Yes, that seems to be the problem. I have a long text field that exceeds the maximum. There's 
an enclosing group to be compatible with acceleratedRendering on mobile. The same setup is used 
for all the field/group combinations in the stack and they all work except this one, but the 
others are all shorter.


I set the inner field to its full formattedHeight inside the group, which is shorter. The group 
has a behavior that scrolls the content.


I discovered today that if I set the behavior on the field instead of its enclosing group, I 
can make it scroll. But acceleratedRendering on a field is jerky and doesn't work very well on 
mobile. I can't break up the text, it has to be all one block. I have tried setting the group 
to container layermode without success.


If you're wondering why the text exceeds the maximum, this is for a mobile app and there is not 
only a lot of heavy formatting with large headings and spaceBelow, but the text size is largish 
so that it is readable on a tiny phone. That makes the pixel count pretty high.


I only have a very short time left to solve this.

Is it possible to get the clicked cell for a table field, if the table is empty?

2020-05-01 Thread William Prothero via use-livecode
Folks:
I have an app that requires that I be able to get the cell row and column when 
I click on the cell. I know a dataGrid can do this, but is it possible with a 
table field? I know I can get the clicked line, but what about the cell, when 
the table is empty.

I use, to get the line (from the lessons), but it only returns the line number: 
on mouseUp

put the clickline into msg

put return & value (the clickline) after msg

set the itemdelimiter to tab

put return & item 1 of value (the clickline) && item 2 of value (the clickline) 
after msg

end mouseUp

Tnx for any suggestions.
Bill

Script Only Behaviors

2020-05-01 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
Hi all. 

I’m gonna say that script only stacks cannot have behaviors eh? Reason is, I’d 
like to move my nested data grid behavior to a script only stack, but it occurs 
to me this might break the datagrid, since it’s next level behavior is the old 
data grid behavior button (not sure why that’s still there) then the actual 
script only datagrid library.

Re: sqLite delete memory database

I think SOLite intentionally fills the memory with
garbage as part of its secure deletion when the
database is closed.

I have been testing SQLite 3 using the command line interface and it
looks to me like SQLite is designed to securely delete the memory of
the database automatically after it closes the database.

I could be wrong but if you can’t read the memory it is probably already
securely deleted when the database was closed.
