Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

I am a very small developer - and I am aware of the time strain in maintaining multiple code bases. It's nobody's fault in particular. I think if LC were much, much larger they might be able to maintain multiple code bases. Then again, I was a ruby on rails programmer back in 2005 and the problem we ...

Re: Event triggered by pasting data into a field

Klaus:

Were I a university I would give you an honorary degree in all things livecode.

I saw pasteKey. I wondered if it would work. Tried it. It did not work. I did not know it was standalone only. That explains it.

It's an education chatting with you guys.

Thanks

Re: Event triggered by pasting data into a field

Jean-Marc:

Thanks for the reply. Well, I was expecting textChanged to work and it appeared not to have. But fortified by your resolute assurance of success, I tried again and this time it worked. I have NO explanation for why it did not work for me earlier. Human error being the most likely ...

Event triggered by pasting data into a field

Good morning.

Is there one? An event triggered by pasting data into a field? I know we have textChanged but that does not appear to be triggered by pasting.

I'd like something to happen automatically on data being pasted into a field? Possible? If not possible, any smooth ways around it? I don't ...

Re: Polygrid - text wrapping

Thank you. I have a horrible feeling that I've been THAT dumb.

Set the content to multi-line did NOT change the row height.

I guess I unconsciously assumed it would change the row height for me. When it did not, I went down the line of "feature not working" or "don't know how to make feature work ...

Polygrid - text wrapping

Good morning,

My dictionary is working ok again (thankfully). So I just looked this up, but nothing there.

I have a polygrid column, which I would like to either text-wrap or some other device for handling the fact that most entries are short (book titles) and a few are very long. I don't wish to ...

Re: Polygrid - I'm in love but am I being respectful?

Klaus:

Thank you. That was the more "programmer" way of doing it that I was looking for.

As to the guy with the 10 day trial request - I'm a big believer in free trials, myself.

For me the polygrid is very much like the Apple Watch. It's cool. I like having one. It has not changed my life. For me ...

Polygrid - I'm in love but am I being respectful?

BUT...
Say I want to update cell 3,3 of my polygrid. At the moment my solution is

put the text of widget "pgWhatever" into t
put tNewValue into item 3 of line 3 of t
set the ...

Re: Polygrid

Hello Chaps:

Thanks for pitching in.

First off the PolyGrid instructions have now appeared in my built-in dictionary. My dictionary is VERY slow to load (which surprises me, is that normal?) and I think perhaps it had not finished loading the last time I was looking for the PolyGrid instructions ...

Polygrid

Hello:

I purchased the polygrid as part of a summer bundle. It's beautiful, fast but a bit opaque. I'd like to find some instructions specifically for searching, filtering, editing and sorting. My error may be that I am using it as an interactive thing and not a read only thing. Of course, I could ...

Thanks again Jacque, I will.

Re: Irritating intermittent bug with set player filename

Update:

Many thanks for SWEdeAndy and Jacques. I implemented several of their suggestions and I can't say I understand exactly why, but for now it has stopped crashing. I've done 40 minutes now, about 600 clicks no crashes.

I'll update again if it crashes soon or I can home in on the exact factor ...

Re: Irritating intermittent bug with set player filename

Mr. Sparkout.

Good questions all. Don't have a windows machine so can't try on that platform and anyhow other than diagnostics, I am not producing the app for windows.

Corrupted filename: no. In my log file I get the exact name that is the filename of the player and it's fine. No funny characters ...

Re: Irritating intermittent bug with set player filename

Thank you, SWEdeAndy and Jaques.

Not on multiple monitors. Not on mobile. Crashes doesn't hang. Crashes hard with a very lengthy report from Apple from which I derive nothing useful (that is likely more about me than the report).

Update: I inserted another logging line which is written between ...
