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?

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 of...

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 ...

Re: Quick Code Question

Many ways to do this, as you have already seen. I like, in the script of the offending field:

Code: Select all

on textchanged
   if the length of me >= 6 then doYourThing
end textchanged

Re: customKeys and recalling the data in a key

I also cannot get the alternate form to give anything but empty. That alternate form is given as an example , but not listed in the property syntax, which is simply
put the customKeys of me into fld "TextField"

Re: Filter mobile control input

Bernd.

If Trevix is only interested in being able to trap a message and call a handler, I would say your suggestion is valid. But his original post seems to indicate that the parameter "pKeyName" is required for each separate filter operation to work properly.

I could be wrong.

Trevix?

Re: Filter mobile control input

Trevix. I do not work in mobile. But is the issue that the "keyDown" message deals with the very character that invoked it, but the "inputTextChanged" message fires only with when the entire contents of a control changes, and does not specifically "know" which char was the culprit? If so, at least I...

Re: How to get screen size and resolution

Richmond.

But it was never actually screen "size" that was in play. It was resolution, and I suppose if you were porting to an 85" TV at 800x600 each pixel would be about the size of a pignoli. No problem, just view the screen from 20 meters.
