Aligning Bananas and Numbers in a single (Text) field - doable ?

Hi ppl,
I saw some similar vues in a datagrid...somewhere :
Next, I need to display very few "elements" (<10 characters/icons) within a single field :
All Elements, Icons or Numbers... are predifined on a small keyboard
Pressing Keys down "Would" fill the Target field with Numbers and "Icon image" until all spaces are filled up.
The keyboard is almost ready...what I need to know is how to align the combination of click results of bananas and digits:
- should I go for a text field or for a "rectangle frame" with X (empty) aligned cells inside to fulfill after each clicks?
It would display something like :
Code: Select all
1 "Banana Icon" + 2 "Apple Icon" = "Plate Icon"
- literaly the target field should be able to display :
a number ...an icon ...another number ...another icon..Etc...
...icons in place of words
What "possible" field/component type is most likely indicated to achieve that ?
*Food algorithm not required !

Hi liveme,
Sorry, no bananas here but may be you could do something with this?
Here is a standard LC field:
- screenshot 2021-04-16 à 04.52.55.jpg (8.88 KiB) Viewed 13214 times
and the script of the field:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp b
if b = 3 then
put "android: 1 apple: 2 iOS: 3" into me
set the imageSource of char oC("1") of me to \
("binfile:" & pictFolder & "icons8-android-48.png")
set the imageSource of char oC("2") of me to \
("binfile:" & pictFolder & "icons8-apple-logo-50.png")
set the imageSource of char oC("3") of me to \
("binfile:" & pictFolder & "icons8-ios-logo-50.png")
else
put empty into me
end if
end mouseUp
function oC C
return byteOffset( C, me)
end oC
HTH,
Thierry

yeah..;no bananas, this is a must feature for the next release !
How could livecode live without it
Ok, so just a simple field..cool,
Tks for the code, testing that next....

Of course they have one, but deeply hidden in the resources.
New widget called "banana-split-pops" made by the Great bogs

Please, check the dictionary for imageSource, you have few options.
Happy coding

Well, then you might be able to help me with this crazy thing?
Can't manage to make this command works:
Code: Select all
open datagram socket to bananaSocket with message "bananaSent"
and no errors thrown and the result is empty.
but this one works:
Code: Select all
open datagram socket to bananaSocket
send "bananaSent" to me in 0
I prefer the first method
any idea ? is it a known bug ?

This stack uses the LEFT, RIGHT and DOWN arrow keys:
-
Code: Select all
on rawKeyUp RP
switch RP
case 65361
put "•" after fld "fff"
set the imageSource of the last char in fld "fff" to the id of img "bb"
break
case 65364
put "•" after fld "fff"
set the imageSource of the last char in fld "fff" to the id of img "aa"
break
case 65363
put "•" after fld "fff"
set the imageSource of the last char in fld "fff" to the id of img "pp"
break
default
--put numToCodePoint(RP) after fld "fff"
end switch
end rawKeyUp

As much as I hate to say it, I never did get around to using sockets yet, and it is likely at this point I may not ever have the time to get around too them

Really cool, I like that the stack holds the Icons themselves... no external images storage !

BTW Thierry... you seem to know how to setup a socket connection...
I'm using this to connect to my DB.
put revOpenDatabase("mysql", tDBurl, tDBname, tDBuser, tDBpword) into gConID ## tResult
..not sure how its even named
What would it takes to set up a socket to a MariaDB DB. (websocket?) connection to retreive data...?
Would you know what are the Pro/Cons using socket vs my actual (?) connection type ?
I've never used socket before...can they be restricted to only "preregistred member users"...or are they meant only for public access to someone's DB...
to banana ..or not to banana !

Nope: I made that in about 15 minutes when I read your posting.

Yep, that's why I told you to check the dictionary for the options...

Well, knowing sockets is one thing,
knowing how to work with sockets in LiveCode is another thing.
So, it depends...
Would you know what are the Pro/Cons using socket vs my actual (?) connection type ?
I've never used socket before...
I can't give you an easy answer as you've opened kind of pandora box,
but a reasonable suggestion could be
that you learn first what are sockets and then practice a bit.
I believe there are a couple of stacks available from Devin Assay for a simple client - server,
or find out a chat server stack from Bvg ( I guess he was using sockets too)
Have a nice week-end,
Thierry
