Re: Answer dialog text missing in standalone 9.6.9

[General 2018 via use-livecode]

Hi ,

Is this a bug ?
Win 10

LC 9.6.8 Standalone
Black Text.
Background as stack colour but needs to set to white as text cannot be seen.
Buttons black text on grey - a bit naff.

LC 9.6.9 Standalone
White Text.
Background as stack colour - okay except for white as text is white.
Buttons white text on grey - no good.

LC 9.6.8 / 9.6.9
Always black text on white/grey regardless of stack colours?

Is there a fundamental problem with ask/answer dialog on Windows ? Would expect 
this to work and why changing across versions ?


Regards
Camm

Re: Answer dialog text missing in standalone 9.6.9

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

i think there are other ide stacks that switched from binary to
script-only stacks in 9.6.9. that broke some other behaviors, too. if
i was betting, i would bet that the SOS is not explicitly setting the
font color, but i haven't read the script to confirm, either.

Re: Answer dialog text missing in standalone 9.6.9

[General 2018 via use-livecode]

Hi ,

Made new stack and works okay.

Then found that I had set the background colour of ask and answer to white, 
this has worked for many years and showed black text. The stack background is 
blue. Do I assume something has changed in 9.6.9 ?

I removed the set background to white and the answer background is now blue as 
expected with white text. The answer banner is white with black text but the 
yes/no buttons are grey with white text which is unreadable.

Regards
Camm

Re: Answer dialog text missing in standalone 9.6.9

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

Is the text color of calling stack white? The dialog will inherit the color 
from that stack, or from the next one in the inheritance path. The text may 
be there but not visible.

Re: Answer dialog text missing in standalone 9.6.9

[Craig Newman via use-livecode]

Matthias makes a point. Sometimes trying with a brand new stack will show that 
there is something amiss, even corrupted, with the stack of interest. If the 
new stack works, it likely means that LiveCode works, and the problem lies 
within the recalcitrant stack.

Re: Answer dialog text missing in standalone 9.6.9

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Did you already try it with a new stack just with a button which includes only 
a   mouseup script with only the answer command?

Hi ,

Tried all that auto / manual inclusion etc.

You cannot deselect ask / answer it will always include.

Hi.

I assume you mean the standard “Answer” command. There is no “Answer Text”.

So if you:

answer “Some Text" with “Yes" or “No"
what exactly pops up?

RE: Answer Dialog in Stack now

[Erik Beugelaar via use-livecode]

Hi Bob,

Did you take into account the release notes (LiveCode 9.4) about Standalone 
Building?

StandaloneBuilding
The standalone builder has always needed to close the stacks it builds for 
reasons pretty deeplyin
grained in the code. 

However this causes a few problems, for example:
- values in script locals become empty
- behaviors are broken when the parent script is on / in a stack which closes

As an attempt to improve this situation, the code that locks messages when 
closing and openingstacks for standalone builds has been removed. 
This means that where previously mainstacks
would not receive any of the (pre)open* and close* messages (e.g. preOpenStack, 
openStack, openCard, closeStack etc) during standalone build, they now do.

If this causes problems for your stack, you can exit from the handler if 
standalone building is inprogress:

on closeStack
if the environment is "development" and \  
there is a stack "revStandaloneProgress" and \  
the mode of stack "revStandaloneProgress" > 0 then
exit closeStack
end if
end closeStack

LiveCode 9.0.4 Release Notes 5/10/192

Maybe this will help.

Kind regards,

Also, the standalone builder altered all the paths to my stackFiles as though 
they were in the same folder as the stack itself. They are not.

I’m just going on record here to say the standalone builder at present is 
completely unusable. I’ll file a support ticket.

Re: Answer dialog enhancement...

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

I had to create my own for mobile since the default didn't do what I 
wanted. I implemented it as a group. When the user hits the OK button it 
places the response in the dialogdata and sends a message to the card. The 
card has a handler that captures the message and gets the dialogdata to do 
what it needs. If the user cancels, the dialogdata contains "cancel".


I keep the group in an unplaced background, and when I need it I copy it to 
the card. When it's dismissed I delete it. That way I don't need to include 
it on all the cards. I trigger it with a command that passes any necessary 
data to the group as parameters.


I don't think it's possible to remove the answer dialog from an app, the 
last time I tried it reselected itself, so I just ignore it. Since I was 
using it on mobile this works pretty well, but on desktop it would be 
confined to the card rect. You could do the same thing with a stack, which 
would eliminate the need to copy anything.

Yes. That is easy enough. Turn on "Show IDE Stacks in List" from the
"View" menu and there are the Answer and Ask Dialogs.

Then you need to work out how the Answer command passes its data via
"the dialogData" property into order to create an alternative calling
routine that sets up the Don't Ask Again check box

You could copy the Answer to your own project  and in the Standalone
Settings switch to Manual Inclusions and exclude the Answer Dialog. Then
I believe the answer command will use the copy of the dialog in your
project. Then you need to add the button, change the resizeStack
handlers accordingly, script its show and hide, add code to get the
return value

AND remember to see if the dialog needs updates with each new release of
LiveCode.

That is why I asked if anyone has already done it so as to not re-invent
the wheel.

I'm thinking that if I need to roll my own, then my approach might be to 
write a handler that adds or removes the button by script from the 
standard Answer Dialog. That was if LC Corporate every makes changed to 
the dialog, your project inherits them with a new built under a new 
version of the engine.


If you copy the dialog, then you either need to rename it and maintain 
it or do manual Inclusions and exclude the engine from conflicting with 
your copy.


I was thinking something like:

on mouseUp
  dontaskagain "on","Do not show this message again."
  answer warning "Some message I may not want to see again." with 
"Cancel" or "OK" titled "A Message"

  put it into tAnswer
  dontaskagain "off"
end mouseUp

command dontaskagain pActivate, pLabel
  -- usage:
  -- dontaskagain "on|off" [, ]
  --   dontaskagain "on","Do not show this message again."
  --   answer warning "Some message I may not want to see again." with 
"Cancel" or "OK" titled "A Message"

  --   put it into tAnswer
  --   dontaskagain "off"

  switch pActivate
    case "on"
  -- setup the templateButton
  set the style of the templateButton to "checkbox"
  set the label of the templateButton to pLabel
  set the width of the templateButton to the formattedWidth of the 
templateButton

  set the height of the templateButton to 23
  --
  create btn "DontAskAgain" in cd 1 of stack "Answer Dialog"
  --
  reset the templateButton
  break
    case "off"
  delete btn "DontAskAgain" of cd 1 of stack "Answer Dialog"
  break
  end switch
end dontaskagain

This adds the checkbox or removes it to the built in Answer Dialog 
dynamically. The problem is pre-positioning the checkbox. The dialog has 
a preOpenCard handler that does the position and if I position it ahead 
of time the code it the preOpenCard changes things


I think I need to insert a openCard handler into the stack dynamically, 
which would execute after preOpenCard, that positions the check box OR


attach a behavior script with an "after preOpenCard" handler, but I 
don't understand exactly how to do that??

Here is another attempt to not reinvent the wheel:

We, like a lot of people, use:

answer [/iconType/]/prompt/[with/button1/[or/buttons/]] [titled/windowTitle/] 
[as sheet]

And we use the various iconTypes to who error, warning, or informational icons. 
We have a lot of these that are caution dialogs (are you sure that... sort of 
thing). We'd like to move to the (now) common UI convention of having a "Do not 
show this again." check box in the dialog combined with a set of saved 
preferences for whether the used indicated it should not be shown again. We 
already have a preferences system in place.

I am seeking if someone has already written code to ADD a "Do not ask this 
again." check box to the existing Answer Dialog, so you could do something like:

DontShowAgain "on"
answer warning "Are you sure you want to quit before saving?" with "Save" or 
"Quit" titled "Are You Sure?"
put it into tResponse
put line x of the dalogData into tDontShowAgain
DontShowAgain "off"

where a handler DontShowAgain creates and positions a check box in the existing 
Answer Dialog and adds a script to put the result in the dialogData (or some 
means to check it afterwards)

Alternatively, if no one has glued this onto the existing Answer Dialog has 
anyone created a custom Answer Dialog with a Do Not Show Again check box that 
has the same general capabilities (icon type by platform (Win/OSX), html text 
prompts, named buttons, and windowTitle as parameters)

Re: Answer & Ask dialogs in Windows Standalones

[Knapp Martin via use-livecode]

Are you selecting you own inclusions or letting LC take care of that? In my 
case I need to select my own.

Re: Answer & Ask dialogs in Windows Standalones

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi,

i cannot confirm this here for  Windows 10 and LC Business. All is working well.

I created a stack and added 2 buttons. One with a mouseup/answer and one with a 
mousuep/ask script.

I set up the standalone settings to create the default Win/Mac/Linux and also 
to create only a Windows app.

Both Windows standalones showed the correct behaviour and displayed the ask and 
answer dialogs correctly.

I´ve created even a Windows app under MAC OS X and tried that under Windows 10. 
That is also showing the correct behaviour.


Regards,

Matthias

Re: Answer & Ask dialogs in Windows Standalones

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

I can conform this issue with 9.0.1 stable under Windows 8.1

Created a new stack in LC9.0.1 with a Quit button and a Question button
with the following script:

*on*mouseUp pMouseButton

*answer*"Do you want:"with"A"or"B"or"C"

*answer*"You selected:"& with"OK"

*end*mouseUp

And build a default Windows standalone.

The script behaves as expected in the IDE, generates nothing (no answer
dialogs) in the Standalone.

I think the answer command has always accepted CR instead of "or" if I 
remember right. At any rate, if you don't want to use a field, you can 
just replace the commas with CR and use that.

Apparently that works with any return-delimited container, including 
variables.


I couldn't find mention of this in the Dictionary entry for "answer". 
Any know offhand if there's a bug report for that?

Re: answer file under OSX El Capitan no longer has titlebar

It was fixed in a later LC version. I get a title even without the

broke but it was fixed pretty soon after, I just can't recall which 
version that was.

I just discovered that - under El Capitan (10.11.x) and presumably 10.12
- the LiveCode 'ask file ' statement no longer display the

displays a titlebar!

This may have been covered in some past discussion on this email list.
If so can someone tell me if there is some work-around for this.

OR if this is the first people have heard of this, can someone verify
this issue?

Re: answer file under OSX El Capitan no longer has titlebar

[Colin Holgate via use-livecode]

I get the title prompt with answer too, without any workaround.

But talking about that for a moment, it would need to be this:

on mouseUp

local pp,myPath

put "I m the missing prompt" into pp

answer file pp with myPath titled pp

end mouseUp


In LiveCode 8 you can’t get away with:

put "I m the missing prompt" into pp

It's the answer file only, not the ask file:

The following workaround is from a bug report, I can't
remember the number and who found it (not me, at any rate).

put "I m the missing prompt" into pp

Re: answer file under OSX El Capitan no longer has titlebar

[Colin Holgate via use-livecode]

I seem to have prompt text in the title bar of the file dialog. But that’s with 
Sierra not El Capitan.

It's El Capitan, Apple changed the rules again. Somewhere along the line 
it's been fixed to show the prompt in the title bar. I can't remember 
which release but it's there in 8.1.

Re: answer dialog duplication on building standalone?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Richard,

I see this very often. Perhaps it has to do with my own scripts that use 
the answer and ask dialogs immediately before I build a standalone. It 
could also have something to do with password-protected stacks. I tend 
to ignore these warnings.

 I don't think you can from the answer file dialog. BBEdit has the same

This isn't a filter option, but merely a way for the user to provide 
additional info to the app when selecting a file (because of course 
users fully understand text encodings and can provide helpful info there 
g).


I haven't played with Mac APIs since the ol' Inside Mac days, but back 
then you could get a handle to the standard GetFile dialog and populate 
the lower portion of it with any additional controls you like.


My guess would be that this particular addition isn't a single API call 
call, but a custom enhancement using some Cocoa method similar to the 
old Dialog Manager routines.


As such, this seems like a good job for LiveCode 8, in which we'll be 
able to directly access OS APIs for this sort of thing.

Hi Paul,
Right, that's for filtering by file type.  What I'm looking for is a menu
of encoding types (UTF8, UTF16, etc).  If you're on a Mac, run Textedit and
choose Open from the File menu and you'll see what I mean.

Re: Answer File (RESOLVED)

[JB]

It kind of explains it.  I previously had trouble
with the answer file filtering and gave up.  You
mentioned you needed to list the Adobe etc, 
not just .pdf.  How about jpg and jpeg there are
many applications that use these types.

How about providing a sample script that will let
me filter everything but jpg, jpeg, rev, gif, text, db.

 Hi all.
 
 I know this has been answered but I though I would post what I have found 
 working with the answer file command and OS X. 
 
 First, the dictionary does not make it all that clear how this works. For the 
 type, you MUST supply at least the first and second pipe delimited values eg. 
 “Adobe Acrobat Files|PDF. Using only “pdf” DOES NOT WORK! This will 
 effectively IGNORE the type argument and allow you to select ALL files! You 
 MUST supply at least 2 piped items, even if the first item is blank! 
 
 Secondly, wildcards do not seem to work in the type form, and the filter form 
 does not work on OS X either. You will not be able to select ANY files using 
 this form. Apparently it doesn’t matter a WHIT what you put in the first or 
 the 3rd pipe delimited item. I put “BLAH” in the third and got only PDF’s. I 
 put Adobe PDF document” (from the Get Info dialog) but put nothing in the 
 2nd item and could select ANYTHING even apps. 
 
 So to sum it up, the ONLY thing that matters is the second item. You can also 
 provide a return delimited list of these piped entries for multiple 
 selections. 
 
 I hope this helps some Mac Users out there who are as befuddled as I was with 
 the answer files command. If you are developing for multiple platforms that 
 include OS X and Windows, you will need to test for the Platform and 
 conditionally branch from there.

Re: Answer File (RESOLVED)

[Bob Sneidar]

The filter is inclusive, not exclusive. You would need to include every file 
type on your computer EXCEPT the ones you want to exclude. That of course, is 
not practical.

As I mentioned but did not likely make entirely clear, the *only* piped item 
that matters is the second one, or the second one in each line of a return 
delimited list. For example:

“JPEG Files|jpg”
“|jpeg”

will allow you to select files of type JPG and JPEG. Not sure if the TYPE form 
will work on Windows. If it does then the FILTER form is essentially deprecated.

Re: Answer Dialog location

[Alan Stenhouse]

G'day Cal

Quote from the online docs:
---
The position and appearance of the dialog box varies between platforms. On Mac 
OS systems, the dialog box is centered on the screen; on Unix and Windows 
systems, the dialog box is centered over the active window. On Windows systems, 
the buttons are shown in reverse order (the first button is on the right side).
---

Presumably you're on windows/linux...?

One solution might be to create a small stack for use when using your error 
answer dialog and set it's location to the middle of the screen (and invisible) 
and then close it when you're done...? i.e. so whenever you run your error 
handler you open inv the window in the screenloc and then answer your info...

Does that make sense?

Re: Answer Dialog location

[Scott Rossi]

Are you sure you don't have a handler somewhere that is positioning the
dialog?  Because the default behavior *is* to position the answer dialog
in the middle of the main display.

This is the routine I use when I want the dialog to appear at a specific
location:
on suspendStack
   if answer dialog is among the lines of the openStacks then
  set the topLeft of stack answer dialog to 100,100
   end if
end suspendStack


I've never had to use any script to position the answer dialog in the
middle of the screen since it (should) just work that way.

For a long time, I kept inserting lines before my 'the result' test and 
breaking things.  So, I often use 'put the result into r' right after the 
command I need the result for and then test with r as needed.  Paranoid 
overkill maybe.

Ha, that was it!  That does remind me though -  just how long the result

Right. There's no set amount of time or number of calls that change the 
result, it just changes whenever another command or function sets it. 
That can be in the next line or twenty lines down the script, though 
since a lot of things reset the result, it's usually sooner than later.

I would get my hands on an earlier version for PPC builds.

[Gabriel Johnson]

Or, if you have the ability to cheaply do so, you may want to upgrade to OS
X 10.5.

I have a Mac Mini G4 with OS X 10.5.8 on it- I'm not getting this issue. I
had another issue which occurred specifically on a 10.4 G4 machine which is
not occurring on this 10.5 Mac Mini G4.

Re: answer folder ignores ~/Library

[Bob Sneidar]

In the past when Apple did something that raised people's eyebrows, almost 
always we found that there was some command or preference that would make it 
work like we wanted. Not this time. And this change is so pervasive, so 
fundamental in it's aspect and broad in it's scope, I cannot help thinking that 
there is a crazed developer genius at Apple that Steve Jobs kept locked up, but 
has now been let loose and is mind controlling the decision makers there. But 
seriously, doesn't it feel like the guy who used to sit in the UI interface 
meetings and say, That is a really bad idea has retired?

Re: answer folder ignores ~/Library

[Colin Holgate]

Although it is odd why the Library folder has been hidden, you can still use 
the Go to Folder… menu item in Finder's Go menu, and enter this:

~/Library/

In LiveCode you can do this:

answer folder Look, the Library with  ~/Library/

Most of the money I and my clients make from LiveCode is from sales to 
customers running Windows, which isn't surprising since MS still has 
about 87% of the desktop market.


For most of those years I had the smug satisfaction of making our 
Windows-funded software on Mac.  In LiveCode this isn't hard to do as 
long as you're willing to spend some time now and then testing and 
tweaking on each of the target OSes you're deploying to.


With LiveCode you can develop on whichever you OS you prefer, and as 
long as OS X was a flexible and faithful servant it was where I was 
having the most fun, so it's where I did most of my development.


But as you noted, in recent versions OS X has become more strict, less 
able to work the way I want it to work and more of it expecting me to 
conform to its expectations.


When people ask me why I use Ubuntu as much as I do these days, this is 
why:


With Ubuntu I have the flexibility I used to enjoy with OS X, and more 
so.  I can set it up however I like and it conforms to my wishes, not 
the other way around.


So I'm still making most of my money from Windows, I've just changed 
which minority OS I use to develop for Windows on. :)


Whether the OS I'm using is also used by 10% of the market or 5% doesn't 
matter to me.  What matters to me is that it does what I ask it to do.

Re: Answer dialog not showing in Windows 7 ???

[Nicolas Cueto]

Hello Boo (?),

In the General tab of the Standalone Application Settings for your
standalone (Launcher.exe), click the radio button Select inclusions
for the standalone application and then check Answer Dialog.

I think what's happening is that, because there is no answer command
anywhere in your standalone, the standalone-builder isn't including
it.

Following that logic, another way around this is to include an
answer command in your standalone. In a hidden button, for example.

By the way, from similar past experience I've learnt to be careful
about relying on LC's icons for buttons. If the button with a
particular icon is not in the standalone, that icon will not show on
other stacks.

Cheers.

Re: Answer files with type

[David Glass]

answer files Blah with some folder with type Image Files|jpg,jpeg,png

Text descriptor (Image Files) followed by pipe (|) followed by 
extensions to include separated by commas, excluding the dot/period (.) 
(jpg,jpeg,png).


Pretty sure you shouldn't have any spaces between the extensions either.

Re: Answer files with type

[Timothy Miller]

I figured it out by trial and error.

This seems to do what I want:

with type JPEG Images|jpg,jpeg,png|JPEG

Any grave errors here?

 Greetings,
 
 I'm using the answer files with type for the first time.
 
 I'm not a computer professional and I barely stumble through LC by trial and 
 error, so with type has me stumped.
 
 In present instance, I want to select only jpeg and png files.
 
 Cribbing out of the docs, I've come up with:
 
 code
 answer files Select the image you wish to add: with 
 /Users/myUserName/Documents/Rev Documents/LC images with type JPEG 
 Images|jpg|JPEG
 /code
 
 This sort of works, except jpg images with the extension .jpeg are excluded, 
 i.e., dimmed out. If I manually change the the file name to .jpg they are 
 included.
 
 Also, all png files are also dimmed out.
 
 How do I change the with type parameter to include the .jpeg and png 
 images? If possible, please tell me literally, because I'm going to try to 
 copy and paste the answer.
 
 Thanks in advance.

Open the Application Browser by using the Tools menu

Now you should see all the Integrated Dev Environ stacks (IDE) that  
all begin with 'rev', with the exception of the stack called Home


You can now open these stacks and cards, scripts and settings.  If you

Re: Answer file with type BMPf?

[William de Smet]

Thanks Ken,

I tried your suggestion but no luck. 
I tested it on Windows 7 en OSX 10.6 with LC 4.5.3. New stack, image area and 
code. All files OK but BMP is still a no go!
 
Anyone?

William

 Why doesn't this work for BMP files?

 Images|jpg,gif,png,bmp|JPEG,GIFf,PNGf,BMPf
 
 The reason might be because the .bmp file may not have been assigned a type
 code. If you *only* want to get .bmp files with a type code of BMPf then
 this should work. But if you want to get .bmp files, *regardless* of the
 type code, do not provide the type code in the 'answer file' call (the
 following just goes by extension and ignores type):
 
 answer file Kies een foto: with type All Images|jpg,gif,png,bmp|

Re: Answer file with type BMPf?

Hi Bernd,

I use this script in an image area:
on mouseup
answer file Kies een foto: with type All 
Images|jpg,gif,png,bmp|JPEG,GIFf,PNGf,BMPf
   if it = empty
   then
  put empty into img foto1
exit mouseUp
 end if
   put url (binfile:  it) into img foto1
end mouseup

Like I said: tested on Windows 7 and OSX 10.6 with LC 4.5.3. All images show up 
in img foto1. No luck with any bmp file.

Greetings,

William

I'm afraid that putting it into the image control may fail.
Try this instead:
    set the fileName of img foto1 to it
if the result is not empty then answer error the result

Thanks everyone for taking the time to look into my problem.

@ Bernd: I will use your latest suggestion as well.

Till next time :-)

 Hi William,

 Jan's solution works for me with bmp to set the filename of the image

 If you want to detach the image from the filename and to turn it from a
 referenced image to an local/stack resident image you could issue the
 following command

 set the imagedata of image foto1 to the imagedata of img foto1

 Although this may sound funny it effectively detaches the image from the
 file on disk and makes it an independent image object.

 kind regards

 Bernd

I just tried it and it works for me, so I'm not sure what the problem 
could be. But it seems specific to your machine. What is in the it 
variable after you choose a .bmp file?
