Re: Lockscreen and progress bar
Basically my script takes a list of images, checks the imagedata of every image for possible white areas at the top, bottom, left or right, crops the image if necessary, resizes the image and groups it with fields created on the fly with text data from an xml file. When I simply lock the screen at the beginning of the main loop, everything works as expected. But when I use a group of objects on top of everything to hide the rest, with a couple of unlock/lock screen to update a progress bar and the content of a field in that top group, then imagedata processing stops working. I don't get any error, but it is as if images didn't feature any white area, when some of them actually do. I suspect there is a memory problem or something similar. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Lockscreen and progress bar
Try wait 1 millisecond with messages then lock screen again. But I have run into this issue where even when I pause execution by some means the screen does not update. I find the whole process unreliable, and by the way when you lock the screen then do something with a datagrid, the screen gets unlocked in the process because the datagrid library for reasons unknown unlocks the screen for certain operations.

Re: Lockscreen and progress bar
The solution I came up with was a standalone that I could send messages to. I called it Spinner because I wanted to show a dialog that displayed a message and a spinning graphic while Livecode was processing handlers. I could send commands to show itself, hide itself, display a message and activate the graphic. A progress bar could have been added but I stopped using it for some reason. On MacOS I used Applescript to send commands, but you could use sockets just as easily. I think there are widgets now that will do what you want. My understanding is that widgets can be designed to run independent of Livecode’s single processing thread.

Re: Lockscreen and progress bar
Actually I forgot that I had a "lock screen" at the very beginning of my script. And successive "lock screen" cumulate. Therefore the following sequence doesn't update the screen layout : lock screen .. lock screen .. unlock screen lock screen Funny how I can get stalled with very basic things sometimes... ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I was thinking you would omit the lock screen altogether. Or if things are too slow without it can you move to a different card while all that other stuff is happening?

Re: lockscreen?
If you use lock screen to have 1 screen update rather than hundreds or thousands of screen updates, it will be vastly faster.

lockscreen?
So . . . owing to some oddities of my Devawriter Pro I have set up a new interface that automatically converts encoded documents from it original to another format; but that is implemented as an automation of one of the manual interfaces; so a series (hundreds, thousands) of mouseUp signals are despatched to images that function as buttons. This makes for an extremely pretty user feedback situation, but also means that things tend to be s . . . l . . . o . . . w . . .

Why does lockScreen not work here?
This is a similar question to that of Tiemo (why does lock screen doesn't locks the screen? (Tiemo Hollmann TB)) about finding colours under other objects (controls) but that thread evolved so fast in a single Digest I may appear a bit late. Thus the hijacked thread title. The following handler detects the colour onto which a dragged object is dropped by moving it and getting the mouseColor but. Although it could be interpreted as a settling wobble, I would prefer not to see the little movement . This works correctly, as is, but if I uncomment the lines 'lockScreen' and 'unlockScreen' then the whole handler is stopped. I've tried moving the commented lines around and using 'set lock screen' but the result is always the same, suggestions please. --- Global gCurrBall on Rollit --lockScreen move gCurrBall relative 20,-20 --These movements should not be seen by user- get the mouseColor put it into tColour move gCurrBall relative -20,20 --unlockScreen if tColour is 0,0,0 then Dropit else exit to top end Rollit on Dropit.. --- Using Windows XPHome, Rev vs 3.5 / 4.0 Best to all Barry Barber ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
