Can't upgrade

Hi

I'm getting back into LiveCode after a while away. I am currently on version 9.0.1 running on a MacBook Pro (macOS v12.4). In LiveCode, in Preferences, I click "Check for Updates" but nothing happens. My internet connection appears ok. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help.

Re: Referencing one button in a Datagrid

I found an example in the Datagrid manual that used "the dgControl of me". So, I changed the code to...

Code: Select all

set the visible of btn "btnAnswers" of the dgControl of me to true
and that worked.

Thanks
Geoff

Re: Referencing one button in a Datagrid

Hi Thanks for taking the time to reply. I tried that but it gives me the error: button "CoType Behavior": execution error at line 19 (Chunk: no such object) near "btnAnswers", char 37 It's as if the button "btnAnswers" isn't accessible from the script?? I added: answer "The label of btn btnAnswers:"...

Referencing one button in a Datagrid

Hi I am travelling further into The Wonderful World of Datagrids ... I'd like to set a specific button in a column of a datagrid to invisible, depending on the setting of a different button in the same datagrid. The data grid looks like this: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8143/7696697020_a184c04796....

Data Grid Helper: Inserting a Row

Hi I am relatively new to data grids and the Data Grid Helper plugin. It could be that my problem is something I've done wrong or maybe it's related to Mac. I have installed the Add Row script which should allow the user to add a row to the table by pressing Enter. However, Enter doesn't work and th...

Re: Encrypting a file

Hi

Thanks Mark. Yes, it looks like an encrypted USB stick would be easier. I was hoping to use my new LiveCode skills but never mind...!

Re: Encrypting a file

I see. Thanks for that, BvG, very helpful. It would appear that what I'm thinking of wouldn't be practical, loading the entire file into memory. Unless... I see there is a read from file function which would allow me to read in the database file in chunks of say, 1K bytes, encrypt it, and then write...

Encrypting a file

Hi I'd like to be able to encrypt some files from a Windows PC onto a USB stick. Could I do this with a LiveCode stack? The files are mostly large (up to 1 GB) Microsoft Access database files. I've looked at the encrypt/decrypt facilities in the LiveCode dictionary but I get the impression that's us...

Re: Upgrading to 4.6.2 on a Mac

Ah, I see. As I've only just started writing code, I guess I won't need the old version then.

Thanks for your help.

Upgrading to 4.6.2 on a Mac

Hi I am new to LiveCode and also new to Mac OS X. I have just upgraded to LiveCode 4.6.2. All went well but in Applications I now have "LiveCode 4.6.app" and "LiveCode 4.6.2.app". Is this normal? It seems I can run the old version as well as the new. Do I need both versions? Can I save space by gett...
