Re: controlNames??

Thanks Panos. I worked around it with a simple line that checks to see if it is a number and if not to get the id of the control. I remember now thinking how odd it was to return IDs for controlnames. :-) Bob S > On Oct 11, 2017, at 09:00 , panagiotis merakos via use-livecode > <use

Hi Bob, Yes, this was a bug, fixed in 8.1.7 RC1: http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20201 Best, Panos -- On Wed, Oct 11, 2017 at 4:57 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Did the controlNames change from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7? My code is

controlNames??

Did the controlNames change from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7? My code is referring to a control ID. In 8.1.6, the controlNames is a list of numbers. In 8.1.7 rc3 it is an actual list of NAMES. Bob S ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com

Re: controlNames deprecated??

I found it. It's the menubar. Not sure why it at that position. I have a handler that sets the topleft of the menubar group to the topleft of the stack after setting the width of the group to the width of the stack because with Windows the menubar is opaque and it looks crappy when the menubar

Possible, although it is not a VISIBLE one. I selected all with select grouped on and off. There is nothing I can see to account for it. Bob S > On Jul 28, 2017, at 16:10 , Richard Gaskin via use-livecode > wrote: > > Is there maybe an object at -1 left?

I use Firefox for dev'ing on the html5 engine as it tends to be at the forefront of 'what is to come' and also I find it's dev console somehow more responsive and 'better' than Chrome's and Safari's when dealing with huge blob of JS that the html5 engine is. For everything else I use Chrome.

I selected IDE (I did it again) and I cannot see the OS field. The web page is jacked. Or my browser is. Not surprising the latter as Mozilla has been becoming increasingly less usable as the months go by. Bob S > On Jul 28, 2017, at 13:39 , Alex Tweedly via use-livecode >
