Re: What is the best way to trigger an action at a certain time?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Slight improvement: 

local lInterval
constant cInterval = 300

on openStack
   put cInterval into lInterval
   checkTime
end openStack

on checkTime
   -- your code
   send checkTime to me in lInterval  seconds
end checkTime

setProp interval, pInterval
   if pInterval is empty then
  ask "Enter a time interval in seconds:" as sheet
  if the result is not "Cancel" and it is an integer and it >0 then \
 put it into lInterval
   else
  put pInterval into lInterval
   end if
end interval

Thanks, Brian. I keep forgetting we can use an array as an element 
specifier.


Has that been around the whole time, or was it added in recent years?


I added it before 6.0 - probably in 4.5 or 5.

Dear all,

I want to have an LC app running on a computer doing nothing but watching the

In the old HC days, I remember using "on idle" to watch for a set time. But even then, 
using "on idle" was less than ideal. CPU hog. What is the preferred/LC way to have an app

Re: MegaBundle whatnot

[Heather Laine via use-livecode]

Kaveh and Co,

We have actually simplified the licensing in the move to Single Edition, which 
is what is causing the confusion here. There is no such thing as Indy or 
Business anymore. It's all just LiveCode. You pick the platforms you want and 
off you go...

However the new Enhancements Bundle widgets post-date Indy/Business and hence 
do not recognise it. The solution being simply to run the latest version. 9.6.8 
or 10 dp 4 will be just fine.

Best Regards,

Heather
