Re: Seeking recommendations / suggestions for use of library stacks.

2017-05-15 Thread Ali Lloyd via use-livecode
One simple way to make this slightly nicer would be to make sure all your initialisation happens in a separate handler eg (doLibraryInitialization), and use your script local lock in the libraryStack handler > local sIHaveBeenInitialized > on librarystack > if sIHaveBeenInitialized is empty

The code hit-detects as if the handles were square, so the hit-detection area is actually bigger than it used to be. On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 4:51 PM Richard Gaskin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Ali Lloyd wrote: > > > Instead of declaring that this is how it should

Re: Object Selection Handles

2017-03-28 Thread Ali Lloyd via use-livecode
Instead of declaring that this is how it should be, it's much better to provide examples and justification. I just checked, and every application I have on this computer does selection handles with the center of the handle on the boundary of the object. On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 3:04 AM Craig

These issues sound like they are to do with Script Debug Mode. Please check if this is turned on in the Development menu. Mike, this sounds like it was probably your issue too, especially if trashing your prefs fixed it, as Script Debug Mode on is the default. It *does* sound like there may be a

Richmond, In general that is the case, yes. When for example 8.1.3 GM has been released, we merge the branches all the way up so that the develop branch (from which DPs are released) contains everything from that branch. In some cases there may be things that are in earlier releases but not in a

The dialog asking if you want to start a remote debug session should occur as soon as you launch the app, so if that isn't happening then something is not working with the socket, I would imagine. Perhaps try with the phone actually connected by USB to the Mac and see if that works? On Fri, Feb

On the subject of building UI from script, I generally think it boils down to whether you already have a good resizeStack handler implemented. If you do, you've done all the hard work already - you can just create all the objects with their required properties before the card opens and delete

We don't actually use GitHub milestones in that way, we just use them to track which releases various pull requests have gone into. So 100% complete just means there are no outstanding pull requests with the 8.1.3-rc-1 milestone set. As it happens, there is only one more blocker, unfortunately it
