Re: Underline first letter

Kalus's idea is OK up to the point that when you take your pointer over the field the cursor will change to an 'insert'. ... Oh, come on, of course I presume that the field will be set up correctly to act as a button (locktext = TRUE etc...) P.S. A propos: Kalus Are you lefthanded? I am and also do...

Re: SEND sending me crazy

Try with two different commands: command moveEnemy1 if field "f1" = empty then move image "Knight 2" to random(800), random(600) in 2 seconds end if send "moveEnemy2" to me in 2 secs end moveEnemy1 command moveEnemy2 if field "f1" = empty then move image "Knight 45" to random(800), random(600) in 2 ...

Re: Underline first letter

Hi CAsba,

looks like we cannot have this in a button LABEL, only for the text of fields. :(
You need to "fake" something like this with an extra field or another button or whatever.
Or just use a FIELD with a script instead of a button.

YES, SIR! :-)

Re: Problem with date

Klaus, I forgot to say, the code you sent me didn't do it. Yes, because we used an invalid (non english) date -> 24/3/25 ... convert fld "field" FROM SYSTEM DATE to seconds convert fld "field2" FROM SYSTEM DATE to seconds ... Will work as long as there ARE in fact system dates in the fields. What c...

Re: Problem with date

Ah, yes, my fault!

@CAsba
When using "convert" you need to supply a VALID format.
If you don't specify a format, LC thinks you are using a ENGLISH date (mm/dd/yy)
and 24/3/25 is NOT, so it won't get converted.

I thought you already got a hint about SYSTEMDATE in another thread?

Re: Problem with date

I can reproduce this! No idea if this is a bug or a freature.

In the meantime use a variable and write it back after conversion:

Code: Select all

...
put fld "field" into tSecs1
convert tSecs1 to seconds
put tSecs1 into fld "field"
## Same for fld "field2"
...
