Hi DevBoyLars

Whilst you can use multiple stacks only one can be displayed at a time and will be displayed full screen

In our program we use multiple stacks, but whilst one stack is shown and never changed, all the content exists on the other stacks and is copied in when it is needed and deleted ...

Thanks for all the help guys but we've solved the problem (sort of)

As it turns out the stack was being opened, but not in the way i was expecting, the name was being constructed by variables and then open stack <var> was called.
But this code was running for multiple stacks and only this one ...

Hi Mark

Sorry for the lack of details

When we want to replace the stack we remove it from the current Mainstack via the property inspector, then remove that separate stack from memory (rClick->Close and Remove from Memory) Then we open the new version of that stack and add it into the mainstack ...

Hi all

Got an interesting (and highly frustrating problem) that I hope someone can solve

The program we are creating uses multiple stacks, all of them are substacks of a main stack, (this allows us to swap stacks in and out so we can work on different parts of the program without overwriting each ...

Hi Tester2

Yes we went with converting the milliseconds into hexadecimal.
We chose this as it's nigh impossible for the app to be run first time on more than one machine at the same moment down to the millisecond and so this offered the best solution for us.
(We were also testing on a rather bad ...

Ahh brilliant!

Thank you so much, next time I encounter this problem I will give those a try!

That'll be much faster than my usual method of putting breakpoints after the error and moving them ever closer to it to see where the error occurs (or rather, stops occuring)


##EDIT##
After getting ...

I think it is the same, i get the impression that livecode tends to get ahead of itself slightly sometimes. It is an annoying problem

Hi all

Just when I think I'm getting used to datagrids they start acting out. This time it's to do with setting the text type of the dgTemplateFieldEditor


command EditValue
set the dgTemplateFieldEditor["unicodeText"] of the dgControl of me to the unicodeText of me
if there is a field 1 of me ...

Hi all, a slightly odd one

As a team we've started to notice that every now and again, we'll get an error, a nice repeatable error which is just a problem in the code we've written, but when using breakpoints to debug the code, the error no longer occurs, this is, as you can imagine, incredibly ...

Nevermind I've found the answer to my problem

If anyone is interested:
What I did was on preOpenFieldEditor I stored the long id of the editor, then when the user presses enter/return in the editor it sets a boolean variable to true.
Then in deleteFieldEditor, if the stored id of the editor exists ...

Hi all

Whilst working with the DataGrid Control (I can hear you groaning already) I've been trying to get it so that when editing a cell, pressing return/enter moves to the next line down, the problem i'm having with this is that the field editor is created but closes instantly and i have no idea ...

Hi DevBoyLars

For the most part there wouldn't be a difference, I haven't used mobGUI myself, but we are developing for mobile, stacks and cards look the same on mobile, the only difference would be that using substacks you could swap tabs in and out more easily by removing the stack or adding in a ...

Hi jmburnod

We've had to do a lot of relayering in the program we're making, if you're just moving a control to the top of a group then here is a simpler way to do it:

start editing me #or whatever the group is called
set the layer of control <name of control> to top
stop editing

we've found ...

Great reply, lots of information, thanks a bunch

The problem was that some of the major companies we're designing for have specifically said that they won't buy the system till it runs browser based, as they don't want to install the same program across however many machines (talking hundreds maybe ...

Thanks for the reply sturgis.

I've managed to get it working by putting in my own scriptalias and pointing it to the folder where the server files are. Using WAMP the default folder where they want you to put everything doesn't have a cgi-bin folder, but that wasn't an issue in the end.

Thanks ...
