Standalone Building

Hi all. On the issue of Standalone Building with a call to open stacks modally in a script, I noted that I can suppress messages and then build the standalone without issue. I am wondering if this doesn't cause problems for the standalone builder, why not have the standalone builder save the c

Re: RevQueryDatabase error in standalone

Okay I found the issue with the standalone not building properly. I wrote a new handler to size a window based on the min/max left, top,right,bottoms of every visible object, so that the "air" or empty space is consistent for every stack opened. It *sorta* works, as long as the topmost and leftm

any tricks to make SHELL non blocking?

Hi friends, I have a command line utility which will process a generated file like: ... get shell(q(tCommandLineUtility) && q(tGeneratedFile)) ... FYI: function q tString return QUOTE & tString & QUOTE end q Any hints on how to make this NON blocking somehow? I need a solution for Mac and Win.

Re: any tricks to make SHELL non blocking?

Run it in a different app that you communicate with via sockets? Or maybe run that app as a process? You said *any* hints, so... be careful what you ask for! :-) Phil Davis On 2/2/18 1:41 PM, Klaus major-k via use-livecode wrote: Hi friends, I have a command line utility which will process

Re: any tricks to make SHELL non blocking?

I don't think you can use shell as non-blocking. You could use 'open process' to spawn your command line utility off as a subprocess which would be non blocking, but that approach has its own over head thing to work around On 2/2/2018 4:41 PM, Klaus major-k via use-livecode wrote: > Hi friends, >

Re: any tricks to make SHELL non blocking?

This is non-blocking: put tCommandLineUtility && q(tGeneratedFile) into p0 open process p0 for neither -- no need to close that Don't use quotes for the utility. You have no feedback with that. That's the advantage of shell. > Klaus M. wrote: > Hi friends, > I have a command line utility which w

Re: RevQueryDatabase error in standalone

pCardID contains the long ID of the card that called it. Remember it works perfectly in the IDE, so it's doubtful there are any syntactical errors. I am vaguely remembering that there are times when openCard is triggered first and openstack at other times. If openCard gets triggered first when o

Re: RevQueryDatabase error in standalone

Belay that. Openstack happens first no matter what. I think at this point I will use it only as a utility for resizing windows when things have been rearranged, or a new form is created and I need to clean it up a bit. Bob S > On Feb 2, 2018, at 16:11 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote:

Thanks for the responses on this. I used Bernd’s tool and did some more tests, and found some things that may be helpful to others. While the left and right margins of a field are meant literally (a 5 pixel left margin leaves 5 white pixels to the left of the text), the top margin is more comp

Pasting tabs into Excel

Someone asked me this and I don't have an answer: Before LC 8, you could put tabbed strings into the clipboard, paste into Excel or Google Sheets, and each tabbed item would go into a separate cell. After LC 8, the tabbed items go into a single cell as one string. How can we make Excel recogn

Re: Pasting tabs into Excel

It's strange. If you paste into excel, then select the cell and use the text to columns tool, using Space as delimiter, poof. Columns. Also, in libreoffice, paste special can be used to choose "unformatted text" and that works also. Surely there is a way to pop a simple tab delimited string into
