Re: sort bug

Bob, If you remove the “numeric” the result is “2,3,4,6,a”. To me this implies that ASCII values are used as the sortKey. But that begs the issue why, as in your post, with “numeric” included, the “a” appears first. What makes the “a” a lower "numeric" value than “2”? Craig > On Sep 7, 2023,

Re: Sort bug and also multilevel sorting

Neville. My example was only to show that the sort command still maintains the ability to accept concatenated sort criteria. This allows a single line of code to do the work, and obviates the need for multiple sorts. In that sense it was a bad example to use character "places" in a string.

Doug. I also find this annoying. But I have never found a property to disable it. Of course, I never asked, so let us both see what turns up. Craig > On Apr 19, 2023, at 2:04 PM, Douglas A. Ruisaard via use-livecode > wrote: > > Using LC v9.6.8 Business on Windows 10. When I drag a new

Re: opencard and visual effect

Klaus. I would guess that as soon as the card was navigated to, that is, before any visual effect starts or finishes. Not sure how to test this since I am not sure what messages or properties might be set before, during or after a visual effect runs. Craig > On May 2, 2023, at 9:06 AM, Klaus

Re: opencard and visual effect

Klaus. Come back from the dark side. If you do I will send you the stack I made that seems to indicate that “openCard” is sent after the visual effect terminates. Craig > On May 2, 2023, at 1:08 PM, Klaus major-k via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Jacque, > >> Am 02.05.2023 um 18:59 schrieb

Re: opencard and visual effect

Jacque. Go to the forum. I did just that, and the “openCard” message appears in the message watcher exactly after the visual effect finishes. Craig > On May 2, 2023, at 1:08 PM, Klaus major-k via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Jacque, > >> Am 02.05.2023 um 18:59 schrieb J. Landman Gay via

Re: How to loop through stacks with same name?

Bi. There has been much discussion on the forum why, if the “destroyStack” property is set to “true”, there still seems to be remnants of that stack that linger when the “close stack” command is given. Nonetheless, have you established that this property is set? If not, set it, and let us

Re: Chat and textarea formatting

Hi. Not sure I understand. You have an editable field that you cannot type into? Do you get a blinking cursor in that field if you click inside it? Perhaps some properties for that field are such that LC is preventing access? Craig > On Feb 14, 2023, at 3:35 PM, harrison--- via use-livecode

Re: opencard and visual effect

Klaus. I never use visual effects, though I played with them a lot in about 1988. They are “blocking” in some sense, so I think you are beat served by losing them entirely in your planning. Craig > On May 3, 2023, at 2:59 PM, Klaus major-k via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Jim, > >> Am
