Re: [ANN] Reminder - LiveCode Meeting

[Beda Sellung Posteo]

Hello 

I’ve got the reminder but perhaps not the announcement. But honestly, it had 
been to far for me to go there, if I would not have combined it with a weekend 
holiday, but that would be a good idea!

Perhaps it would be possible for me to come to the next meeting in Antwerpen, 
it would be nice if you would add me to your list for more informations, 
thanks! 

I wish you the best success for today, 
Beda Sellung

Re: SVG Editors, anyone?

[Beda Sellung Posteo]

Hello Graham, 

that’s what I’m looking for too, after seeing widgets on the great conference 
in Edingburgh this week.  

CrossPlatform, Opensource and free alternative is Inkscape. 

An advanced substitute vor Illustrator in my opinion is AffinityDesigner (Mac) 
for 40 £ and now also available as a free beta for windows. 
This is a full substitute for Illustrator that is running much more faster and 
smoother on the mac than IL Perhaps for its mighty functions it may be a little 
complex for little tasks. Together with their product AffinityPhoto SerifLabs 
are really challenging Adobe in price and functionality, especially on the Mac. 

For making especially icons and symbols for controls there are also specialized 
applications around like WebCode from PixelCut. 
You can get it from the Apple Appstore for about 40 € and a trail version from 
their websites: webcodeapp.com
WebCode exports SVG and also html+css with JS for animated graphics especially 
for web development. 

I’ve no experience yet with using any SVG-code wich may be delivered in 
different flavors or qualities, I don’t know. 

But I’m very interested in this subject and I will do my test, so I hope we can 
exchange our experiences.

Re: Modifying Drop-Down Menus on the fly

[Beda Sellung Posteo]

Hi Francis, 

I’m quite a new in livecode, so I hope I’ve understand your question right. 

Problem: Changing dynamically the values of the options of a menu-button. 

Proposal: Setting the text property of a button (style and menuMode of your 
choice) with a list of menu items before this control is shown. 

The solution I’ve found is in Jeanne Devoto’s stack about menus as part of the 
famous „Scripting Conference” downloadable from Jaques Landman Gay’s WebSite: 
http://www.hyperactivesw.com/revscriptconf/scriptingconferences.html
(Thank you very much to make these stacks still available to us! These Stacks 
are still so instructive after such al long time and they are running perfectly 
in LC 8!) 

Excerpt out of the demo of the stack number 9 „Menu” made by Jeanne Devoto: 

on mouseDown
  -- This handler executes when you click the menu, before the menu appears.
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of controls of group "Gemstones"
-- First we scan all the checkboxes. They're all members of a group
-- called "Gemstones". For each of the checkboxes, we see whether it's
-- checked (whether its hilite property is true). If so, we add that
-- checkbox's label - the name of its gemstone - to end of the list of menu
-- items that we're going to use:
if the hilite of control x of group "Gemstones" is true then
  put the label of control x of group "Gemstones" & return after myItems
  -- The "& return" puts each menu item on a separate line.
end if

An additional comment from me:
The group ”Gemstones“ ist here a group of controls of type checkbox. In the 
loop of the script the labels of the highlighted boxes are gathered in a list 
named myItems and later the text property of a menu button is set to this list 
of items. Now clicking this menu button will load the actual list of checked 
gemstones and will present them as options of the menu button. Later on you 
pick up the label-property of the menu button in a „menuPick” event handler to 
get the users choice of the menu button. 

> I can change the script “cases” with the “set script” command,

I’m sorry, but I can’t follow you, may be, because I’m a newbie as I said ;-)
(What does the script „cases“ looks like and why and how change this script by 
„set script“ command?)
