Re: Calendar sync from LiveCode – what's everyone using these days?

Sparkout.

Does this mean we should be eagerly engaging with AI bots so they will better train their LC capabilities?

Re: Calendar sync from LiveCode – what's everyone using these days?

So somebody, an actual human, must be somewhere behind these efforts, no? What I mean is that although AI wrote this, a person put it up to it. Who are those people? Don't tell me AI does this just for its own giggles.

Re: Transferring variables between AppleScript and LiveCode

Stam.

Right you are.

But assuming LC is running on his machine, and whatever the source of the appleScript, how would any such source pop itself into LC? Where would it land?

Re: Transferring variables between AppleScript and LiveCode

Bernd, Stam.

Is it possible the OP is talking about the form "do as AppleScript", and wants some data to return to LC?

Re: Icon disappearing in compiled app?

OK.

I assume NOT removing the code will also work.

It could just be a glitch. Yesterday a stack I have used forever all of a sudden would only print the bottom 80% of a card. I tried everything, setting the print area, whatever.

So then I closed LC and reopened. Fixed.

Re: Icon disappearing in compiled app?

I cannot believe it is a code issue. When you make a standalone from a stack, the thinking is that everything comes over intact. I would send your stack to LC.

Re: matchText goes 'all sensitive'.

Stam.

In the dictionary:
The string and regularExpression are always case-sensitive, regardless of the setting of the caseSensitive property. (
That is what Richmond was on about. Do I still misunderstand?

Re: matchText goes 'all sensitive'.

Richmond.

It used to only be "true". Likely this is helpful given that the source text may be sloppily constructed.

Re: Why does my LiveCode script fail to properly update and pass data between stacks using send and dispatch

@Sadovel784.

You sound real. My post implied that the OP was not.

I have been wrong about that sort of thing. I am very interested in hearing back from either of you.

Do you mean are their locations locked?

No, but how would that matter?

I have never used responsive layout, if that matters.

WINDOWS? Mmmph, Ha ha. AAH HAHAHA.

No.

It seems odd to me that a stack with an attached engine could work so differently from a stack with an unattached engine. I tried this on two different printers, albeit both were HP types.

Printing issue

I have both a stack and it's standalone on the same machine. On a certain card I have a bunch of controls.

If I print that card from the stack, I get a certain (and desired) layout of the controls on the card. But if I do the exact same thing to the same printer from the standalone, the placement ...

Re: Livecode to control smarthome

I have built several different factory production machines that use LC to control them. The key was a device that interfaced, via USB, to the computer and via connectors to the real world. That device was easy to use and to program, but is no longer available. The device had both digital and analog ...
