Re: Clear text formatting

Bernd, thanks again for your help. The pastekey script works perfectly. I needed to make the command+C and command+A shortcuts work without the menu (I checked to confirm, and the shortcuts all work in an app that I created using Revolution 4.0.0.950 but it doesn't work in an app created in Livecode...

Re: Clear text formatting

Bernd, Thanks for your reply. I am fairly new to LiveCode, so pardon my "beginner" questions, but for the second bit of code you included, for the standalone application, where would I put that code? Would I need to include it for each field, on the card script, or is it something that needs to go i...

Re: Clear text formatting

Thanks, all, both of your suggestions allowed me to clear the formatting from the field. I know that there is an option to paste unformatted text, however when a user is running my app, he will just use command-V to paste, which ruins the formatting of the field. So, it would be nice if I could forc...

Change default itemdelimiter

Is there any way to change the default itemdelimiter in Livecode? I use tab-delimited files exclusively and would like to change it from comma to tab. I know I can do this within each handler, but this is tedious, and requires me to remember an unnecessary step while programming. I would like to be ...

Answer dialog disrupts wait command

Hi all. I need some help getting my program to wait a certain amount of time, allowing input from the user during that time, and then respond to the input. For example, I want the user to do math problems for 30 seconds, and after they submit their response for each math problem, I want a dialog box...
