Re: Populating fields with text

Needless to say that the solution proposed by Klaus worked smoothly at the first attempt :oops: As a self-imposed punishment I'm doing extra homework with the conferences and the dictionary, so I won't embarrass myself with waaaay too basic questions anymore -- I will, no doubt about that :) The qua...

Re: Populating fields with text

Oh jeez, this LiveCode can be frustrating at times!!! I've tried all kinds of stupid possibilities before asking for help. Grrr. I´ll use that then, thanx again.

Oh, I guess you mean "camisa" for shirt :D

Re: Populating fields with text

Thanks Klaus, But it's not thaaaaat easy :) See, my students need to input Spanish words using an English keyboard, which is not always the best thing, so, nice as I am :P I've created a keyboard with special characters. You know, those annoying accented vowels, plus "ñ" and the opening question and...

Populating fields with text

Hi everyone,

I know how to populate fields with text at the click of a button when there is only one field on a card.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "mytext" after field "myfield"
end mouseUp
But how can you choose which field must be populated when you have more than one on the same card?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Jean-Marc,

I'll definitely use your CompareText function as well, thanks. As you know, "ñ" and accented letters are something you cannot do without in Spanish.

Regards,

Gonzalo

Re: Right answers in Field

Mark, Thanks for your revision of Jean-Marc's code. I agree it's somewhat complex, so in the end I applied Klaus's solution and it worked fine, methinks. For starters I've made up two exercises for my beginners in Spanish, in which (a) they click on buttons and hear the different letters of the alph...

Re: Right answers in Field

Hi, I'm back in cold and rainy Northern Ireland. Nothing like an unwelcoming return home to eagerly try out your solutions for my query. Klaus's works fine, but there must be something wrong with Jean-Marc's (or with me), because it simply doesn't. I've spotted a typo in the code. Where Jean-Marc us...

Re: Right answers in Field

Mikeinhawaii, you're absolutely right.

It's a good idea, but I'd also like to see those commands in context within a few sample projects. Those lists do not say much to absolute beginners.

Re: Right answers in Field

Wow! Quick answers and both look very interesting! Jean-Marc, Klaus, thanks for your time. I'm enjoying the not very good weather in County Cork (Ireland) at the moment, but on Monday I'm heading back home and will check your code in my project. I'll probably have plenty more questions in the near f...

Right answers in Field

Hi everyone, I'm new both to Revolution and the forums. I find this program amazingly powerful, but a lot of scripting is necessary for almost every task, and I'm not an expert at it (=hopeless). I'm trying to develop an application in which my undergraduate students need to press a button in order ...
