Re: 64 bit desktop apps

Is this for sure and official? I am working on an LC front end for a legacy system that sits upon an old XCode port of a database system called DB Vista (written in old testament C as for unix). It is definitely NOT 64 bit. I mentioned this to my colleague, who did the port and the first layer

Other way around I think. Sort by time first, then sort by day .Jerry > On Apr 8, 2017, at 12:07 PM, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode > wrote: > > On 4/8/17 12:47 PM, Randy Hengst via use-livecode wrote: >> But I can’t figure out how to sort first on item 3, Days

Re: Sort on two sortTypes

Bernd’s modTableField will let you do a custom sort. A sort function using something like your example: > by (item 3 of each & item 2 of each) should do the trick. It uses LC’s sort container function so the dictionary does apply. On the other hand, if you sort by one item at a time, sort by the

How to view custom props

Hi folks, I’m back to working in LC after a hiatus working on other pressing issues. I seem to be missing something important - how to view custom properties. I use them a lot in this project. In LC 7.1.4 I would use the Stack Inspector, and pull down its top menu to Custom Properties. In this
