Hi.

LC has comprehensive native system date and time functions. Check the dictionary for "date", "time", "dateitems", "dateformat", etc.

if you mean you want one of those calendar-type pickers, or similar gadgets, I think there are some around written by others. Someone will reply...

Keep asking.

LC is built in such a way so that many solutions are just that compact and beautiful. It is the structure of the language that makes it so.

Keep asking.

Hi.

Are you saying that if you run:

click at the loc of button "yourButton"

and there is a mouseUp handler in that button, that the handler is not invoked?

If not, can you try this as an experiment?

Craig Newman

This is straightforward. ... Put field "sourceField" into field "targetField" of cd "otherCard" delete card "theCardWithFieldTargetFieldOnIt" Note that you cannot delete a card if the handler resides on an object on that card. So you will have to do it from, say, the stack script. You will want to g...

Can you put a breakpoint in the beginning of the handler, and then try to track what happens whenever it is called again? I agree with SparkOut's theory, that the handler is being re-called very explicitly, though in a non-obvious way.

Craig Newman

Typo, I expect.

repeat for each linTableName in tTableNames

is likely, repeat for each line TableName in tTableNames

What we are all saying is that it comes into play at very specific times, is incredibly useful when it does rear its head, and that you should grab it as soon as possible.

From way back in HC days, the result is set after some command was executed, for example, find. It is a function, and returns a value, hopefully empty So it is a function automatically, tacitly, and sort of behind the scenes, invoked with certain commands, I always put it into a variable, or deal wi...

Bernd Right on about that comma. There is something silly about trying to be the first to answer, at the expense of thinking and testing. Also, he did try to start with the last line, (i = 40 to 1) but did not have the syntax correct. I assume he has the sense of why this must be so. I had written s...

Syntax. Gotta have "down to". You also have to tell the parser to deal with lines. Think about this: repeat with i = 40 down to 1 if the first character of line i of myVar is in "1,0,comma" then delete line i of myVar end if end repeat Someone who was just starting out might also have written: if th...

This is likely to work for you. I did not use an array, and that could be a useful lesson in itself. But anyway: on mouseUp put field "yourField" into myVar repeat the number of words of myVar get random(the number of words of myVar) put word it of myVar & space after temp delete word it of myVar en...

Couldn't you get the dgText, maybe with the dgHilitedLines property, switch the row data, and reset the dgText?

It would be much cooler to be able to drag and drop entire rows. I do this with list fields all the time, but never in a DG.

Check out Thierry's post in the Nov. 2010 archives. Works for me. I hated all those system globals. I had to scroll down all the time to see my own. Craig Newman Try out this simple script : on mouseUp local G put the globals into G replace comma with return in G filter G without "$*" put G end mous...

Hi.

Read up on the "request" command. It should do the trick.

Craig Newman

Yes. I do this.

This was a thread several months ago. I will find it tomorrow, unless someone beats me to it.

It is SO much nicer, and so much less cluttered in normal use to lose those.
