As it is packaged, the two stacks need to be separated and compiled as two exe files. Assume the Chat Server is placed on the remote server somewhere on the internet using the following fictional address ftp://ftp.aldxxx.com/ (as shown on the top of the IE web browser that looks at the server folder...

I have replied to Mark, but cannot see it in the forum.

Hi Mark, In my stack. I am dragging a file from the normal explorer window in Windows. I do not actualy want the file content, just the path and name at this stage, but it is the same effect I am getting where ever I drag from. As regards attaching the stack to this post. I go to bottom of screen, c...

I am trying to sort out where it went.
I have uploaded the file twice so far, once as a livecoad and once as a zipfile. Sorry

Hi Dixie, Klaus, I attach an extract of the stack with basic instructions so you can see the effect for yourself. With Dixie's stack, it did not work with the drag in from a file list in Explorer. This is key to the process. Of course, no script is actualy required to drag text from one field to ano...

I have almost resolved the problem. I have used this code on dragDrop put the dragData["text"]into line 1 of field "file 1" end dragDrop and it does everything necessary. Just one odd thing, the insertion point is left (not flashing though) in the drop zone. I am not sure what I expected to happen w...

I need a quote for the following bits of code. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOCKUP OF REPORT SUMMARY Design stage | As Built stage | Text field 1 | text field 2 | Many other fields, tick boxes graphics and text follow, but this i...

As part of a project where a pdf or xps document is searched for specific content, without opening in a viewer, I need to know how this might be done in Livecode.
Anyone got a a clue on how to solve this problem?

Using the following script on a windows XP fails to produce a full card on the paper. The card is effectively landscape and prints to paper perfectly. The resulting pdf shows the paper image in landscape with the full card height printed correctly to the image. The image is truncated on the right as...

Hi Shadowslash,
This is most helpful. I will be trying this out very soon. I expect many other users will be pleased with this code snippet as well.

I need to check if a particular exe is already running, because if it is not, I want to terminate the one trying to detect it?

Thank you all for your advice. It appears I have explained myseld poorly, but I now have the answer. I set it out here so others may benefit. Assume the main stack is running and the substack is now needed. In my case it is triggered by the on preopencard handler in the main exe. This is because the...

Dear Klaus, Could I refer you back to the original post. It explains the problem by stating I was not satisfied that starting a substack with "go to" was correct, though it worked! I then showed the result of adding the two lines of code with the description between brackets. Put another way, I orig...

Hi Klaus, Startup process means when the exe is clicked on. The script is more or less as I have shown, but I paste the actual script here:- on preopencard local fileslst,filnam,Linecount,Temptext go to stack "Scratchpad" go to stack "AD Part G" hide stack "Scratchpad" put the files into fileslst if...
