Re: is a date

[Yves COPPE via use-livecode]

Hi,

Does such a text « 99/99/00 »  exist ?
You can also always say that it is possible that « 15/10/17 » is not a date in 
a certain context 

Now seriously if the function returns a valid date, you can test afterwards the 
result to see if it can be something else than a date.
Now i’m not enough expert in regEx to search something more secure than the 
function I gave previously.
Sorry.

Greetings.

Re: is a date

[Yves COPPE via use-livecode]

Hi,

I hope this works for any date format

on mouseUp

ask "Give a date"

if it is empty then exit to top

answer IsDate(it)

end mouseUp



function IsDate textToSearch

local theDay, TheMonth, TheYear

put empty into tresult

if 
matchtext(textToSearch,"(\d{1,2})/(\d{1,2})/(\d{2,4})",theDay,TheMonth,TheYear) 
is true then

put textToSearch into tresult

else

put "Invalid Date" into tresult

end if

return tresult

end IsDate

return 
matchText(pDateToCheck,"([1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/(0[1-9]|1[0-2])/([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])")

end CheckDate


answer CheckDate(tDate)

Re: side effect on mac with LC

[Yves COPPE via use-livecode]

Hi,

I will try it tomorrow
Thank you

Greetings.

Yves COPPE
yvesco...@mac.com


What you can do is the following:

When the user pushes down you register the horisontal position of the pointer 
and store this position for later use. This can be stored in a variabel or a 
custom property like this:

global gStartH


on mouseDown

put the mouseH into gStartH

end mouseDown


//You then control whether the pointer has been moved or not in a mouseUp 
handler, decide how far it should move before you slide


on mouseUp

if the mouseH > (gStartH + 100) then //has moved more than 100 pixels

lock screen for visual effect

go next card

unlock screen with visual effect push right fast

end if

if the mouseH < (gStartH-100) then //has moved more than 100 pixels

lock screen for visual effect

go previous card

unlock screen with visual effect push left fast

end if

end mouseUp


If you like you can check while the mouse is moving with the following script 
(in stead of mouseUp):


on mouseMove

if the mouse is down and the mouseH > (gStartH + 100) then //has moved more 
than 100 pixels

lock screen for visual effect

go next card

unlock screen with visual effect push right fast

end if

if the mouse is down and the mouseH < (gStart -100) then //has moved more than 
100 pixels

lock screen for visual effect

go previous card

unlock screen with visual effect push left fast

end if

end mouseMove


If you put this script in the stack, you need to make sure that the card or 
other objects do not trap the mouse messages.

Regards 
Tore Nilsen

Re: side effect on mac with LC

[Yves COPPE via use-livecode]

Hi,

Sorry, but your answer is not enough clear to help me…
can you explain more with a more developed sample ?




If you mean what I think you mean, you can use "on mouseMove":

on mouseup

if the thumbpos of me <> the savedThumPos of this stack then

--it changed

doSomething

end if

set the  savedThumPos of me to the thumbPos of me

end mouseup

 Thanks.

side effect on mac with LC

[Yves COPPE via use-livecode]

Hi list,

I’d like to make an effect typically for mobile on a mac
Is it possible with LC to have a sliding on side effect when moving 
horizontally the finger on the mouse as to let appear a « red btn » underneath 
another on front with label for example « Remove » ?
You can see that on the notes.app or mail.app ...

If someone hs a sample script therefore ??

Thanks.
