is anyone using iCloud in an LC app for iOS 7?

I need to add iCloud support to an iOS app.

Regards,

Hi Matthias,

I remember only this announcement : 
http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/ANN-Livecode-iCloud-iOS-external-td4653404.html 
but ... the Maarten Koopmans web site ... does not seem to exist anymore :(

They could be blocking something their side - but I also think they dont
run the latest version of LC Server. Probably best to contact their support
staff.

Yes, i know his external. I bought it right after he published it. Until LC 
5.53 it worked. But with newer LC and iOS SDKs it doesn´t.
I´ve already sent him 2 emails, but did not get any answer yet. That´s why i am 
asking here for an other solution.

But it seems,  Marten´s external was the only possible solution. 

Thanks anyway.

Matthias

Re: Problem with filter and regex

2014-07-10 Thread Magicgate Software - Skip Kimpel

I think I have found the cause of the issue, now I need to figure out how
to solve it.

The regex pattern I am looking for appears in other lines because there is
a description field that lists "related parts."  The one consistency I have
is that the pattern I am comparing to should be looking only at column 1 of
tdg2Text

I know this is not accurate but is there a way to say something like this:
filter lines of ITEM1 of tdg2Text with regex pattern tRegexp into tTemp

Trying to limit the filter based on the first item in that line VS the
entire line.

Ideas?

Thank you,
SKIP

Re: Problem with filter and regex

2014-07-10 Thread John Craig

Which item delimiter are you using?  For example, if it's a TAB, maybe 
you can specify a pattern ending with a tab, but disallowing any further 
tabs..

I additionally noticed that if my search term is b108 it also pulls over
b108-option1, b108-option2, etc.

I need it to only filter b108 and not those other items.

Is libURL available at all with LiveCode Server?

Where is it with LiveCode Server?

OK, then how about this:

That translates as... start of line, plus 1 alphabetic character, plus one or

formattedWidth

2014-07-10 Thread Peter Haworth

I recently posted about how to adjust the size of different cards within a
stack and part of the solution I tried was using the formattedWidth and
formattedHeight properties (actually the effective versions of them).

I'm now seeing that the formattedWidth (and probably formattedHeight)
return very unexpected values.

The dictionary says it returns the width of a rectangle that contains all
objects in the card whose visible property is true but I'm not seeing that.

Make yourself a stack with a field on it with it's left edge in the middle
of the stack and it's right edge somewhere off the right edge of the stack.

Put a button on the card with the following code:

get the rectangle of this stack
put item 1 of it + the formattedWidth of this card into item 3 of it
set the rectangle of this stack to it

When you click the button, the stack will resize to the width of the field,
in other words, the right edge of the field will still be off the right
edge of the stack.  The only way this works correctly is if the field's
left edge is at the left edge of the stack.

I'm sure this is way formattedWIdth has always worked so it's not likely to
be changed but it seems to be a not very useful implementation to me.

Is there some other property that can be used to set the width of a stack
to something that really does include all the objects on it?

Re: Problem with filter and regex

2014-07-10 Thread Peter Haworth

I think adding the tab at the end of the pattern will ensure this works, so:

^[a-z]\d+\t

Somewhat depends on exactly what he's looking for  with the regex but the
important part is the ^ and the \t with the rest being dependent on the
format of what he's looking for.

Re: Problem with filter and regex

2014-07-10 Thread Magicgate Software - Skip Kimpel

The problem is that the item does not always start with either a number or
a letter... it can be different every time.  So I am thinking the
^yourregexpattern\t method is the way to go... I will try it out and let
you know!

Re: formattedWidth

2014-07-10 Thread Scott Rossi

I'm still not quite clear on what you're trying to accomplish.  If you
want to size a stack to the rect of all visible elements on a card, you
need to check the extents of those objects -- the right-most and
bottom-most edges -- not the space they occupy with formattedWidth or
height.

If I understand what you're looking to do, loop through your card objects,
grab the greatest right and bottom extents, and that should give you the
dimensions to use for your stack.

Re: Conflicting paths

2014-07-10 Thread Richmond


I have a wobbly hand: or wobbly enough that I cannot draw
an oval graphic to use as a path in a stack that doesn't look
horrible.

Does anybody have any tips on how to make an oval path with points

[that means, before you all rush to point something out, that
the oval object is no use at all]

that doesn't look like it has been drawn by a middle-aged dipsomaniac?

filter lines of tdg2Text with regex pattern "^"&tRegexp&"\t" into tTemp

Re: Problem with filter and regex

2014-07-10 Thread Charles E Buchwald

Hi SKIP,

Now I'm confused!

I usually start a thorny programming problem by trying to state the logic in 
plain English. Would either of the following phrases properly filter your data 
if it could be expressed as regex?

the first item of a line, which begins with a letter or number, but always has 
a series of digits, which may or may not be followed by a series of one or more 
letters, always followed by a tab

or is it...

the first item of a line, which begins with a letter or number, but always has 
a series of digits, which may or may not be followed by a series of one or more 
letters or other characters not included digits, always followed by a tab or a 
space

Maybe posting several sample lines of your data would help us list members help 
you...

Re: Problem with filter and regex

2014-07-10 Thread Peter Haworth

Hi Skip,
I just tried your code in a test stack using LC 6.6.2

The data I used was:

AP6003xyz
AP6003BFReplacement for AP6003
AP6003XYdef

Only line 1 was selected.

It's possible I'm misinterpreting the way your data is laid out.

Are you sure that tRegExp has "AP6003" in it?  And that your data is using
tabs between items?  Obvious stuff I know but sometimes the obvious is hard
to spot!

RE: formattedWidth

2014-07-10 Thread Ralph DiMola

Peter,

I have observed this since the new field control was introduced in
5.somthing. I have to keep adjusting my code to take into account for minor
changes as new LC versions get released. I have submitted a bug report.
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12176 Check out the demo stack.
This is related to bug reports 11640/11904

Subject: formattedWidth

I recently posted about how to adjust the size of different cards within a
stack and part of the solution I tried was using the formattedWidth and
formattedHeight properties (actually the effective versions of them).

I'm now seeing that the formattedWidth (and probably formattedHeight) return
very unexpected values.

The dictionary says it returns the width of a rectangle that contains all
objects in the card whose visible property is true but I'm not seeing that.

Make yourself a stack with a field on it with it's left edge in the middle
of the stack and it's right edge somewhere off the right edge of the stack.

Put a button on the card with the following code:

get the rectangle of this stack
put item 1 of it + the formattedWidth of this card into item 3 of it set the
rectangle of this stack to it

When you click the button, the stack will resize to the width of the field,
in other words, the right edge of the field will still be off the right edge
of the stack.  The only way this works correctly is if the field's left edge
is at the left edge of the stack.

I'm sure this is way formattedWIdth has always worked so it's not likely to
be changed but it seems to be a not very useful implementation to me.

Is there some other property that can be used to set the width of a stack to
something that really does include all the objects on it?

Re: Problem with filter and regex

2014-07-10 Thread Peter Haworth

You could also do this without using a regexp:

filter tdg2Text with (tRegExp & tab & "*") into field "Field2"

Just in case there's something weird happening with the regexp

Re: formattedWidth

2014-07-10 Thread Peter Haworth

Hi SCott,
Yes, I'm currently doing what you suggest by looking at all the controls on
the card.

What I don't understand is why the formattedWidth of a card doesn't return
what's described in the dictionary.  It appears to simply return the width
of the widest control on the card when what it should do is return the
right of the rightmost control.  Seems like a bug to me but that property
has been around for a long time so not sure what it hasn't come up before.

Thanks Richmond, that's essentially what I'm doing except I use the
rectangle of the stack instead of the height and width so the stack
position doesn't change.

I think you meant the formattedRect property, not formattedWidth.  If you
check the formattedRect property, you should be able to get right/bottom
positions you want without looping through the card objects.

FormattedWidth and height are purely width and height measurements.  They
don't provide object any position information.

For object positions, use either the rect or formattedRect (cards/groups)
properties.

Re: [on-rev] libURL and https

The docs show “server” as one of the supported platforms for libURL functions. 
However, my on-rev setup always produces an error when trying to use them.

Re: Problem with filter and regex

2014-07-10 Thread Magicgate Software - Skip Kimpel

MYSTERY SOLVED The previous code DID IN FACT WORK:
filter lines of tdg2Text with regex pattern "^"&tRegexp&"\t" into tTemp

The Problem?  What was showing on screen was correct... when I went to
output the file, I was not using the same regex pattern. Whoops

Thanks to all for helping out!

Re: formattedWidth

Thanks Scott.  formattedRect doesn't quite work on its own because it
positions the stack at the top left of the screen. However you put me on
the right track because I can use the measurements in it to set the correct
rectangle.

Re: formattedWidth

2014-07-10 Thread Peter Haworth

Yes, I think the problem is with the dictionary entry for formattedWidth
since it claims the formattedWidth of a card is the rectangle that contains
all its visible objects, which is not true.

Actually, the dictionary entry is correct.  The property gets the width of
a rectangle that encompasses all visible objects, not the rect of the
objects.

So it's "all the visible parts of all objects". If some of an object is 
offscreen, that part isn't visible.

[that means, before you all rush to point something out, that
the oval object is no use at all]

that doesn't look like it has been drawn by a middle-aged dipsomaniac?


Mark Wieder recently added points to the standard graphic objects. But 
until that gets into the engine, I can't think of an easy way to create 
them.


I suppose you could draw out an oval with a 3 or 4 pixel line width, and 
then write a little script to record the mouseloc when you hit the 
return key, or something similar. That would allow you to carefully 
position the mouse before recording each loc. Then with some editing you 
could use that list as the point list.


It's not exactly how I'd want to spend my time though.

Dragging an object

2014-07-10 Thread Peter Bogdanoff

Hi,

I want to drag an object around (a group), restricting its Y coordinate (set to 
be a property, “yLocation"). I’m using this script inside the object:

on mouseMove
   if the mouse is down then
  set the loc of me to (item 1 of the mouseLoc,the yLocation of me)
   end if
end mouseMove

However, after moving it sideways, when I click on it again to move it, every 
time it jumps back so that its X coordinate is zero relative to the mouseLoc.

This behavior would be fine for a button, but I’m dragging a 3000-pixel-wide 
group.

How can I drag it by clicking on one side of this group?

I tried using the grab command, but I couldn’t seem to be able to restrict the 
Y coordinate with that.

Re: Conflicting paths

2014-07-10 Thread Walt Brown

Here's a quickie stack I wrote after reading Richmond's email, which
creates a set of points in an oval and then sends a planet around. The oval
can be set to width (k), height (h), and angle (theta). Written in 5.5.5.
Embedded in it is a stack script which contains the angled ellipse
calculation x = h + (a*cos(t) * cos(theta)) - (b*sin(t) * sin(theta)), y =
k + (a*cos(t) * sin(theta)) + (b*sin(t) * cos(theta)). Play.

Re: formattedWidth

2014-07-10 Thread Peter Haworth

OK, I surrender!  I think I now understand  my confusion.  The
formattedWidth of a card is measured from the left edge of the leftmost
control to the right edge of the rightmost control. But the distance from
the left edge of the card to the leftmost control isn't included so using
formattedwidth to size the card will never work unless the leftmost control
is at the left edge of the card.

I have it working now by using the formattedrect property as the basis for
getting the width measurement I need.

 For object positions, use either the rect or formattedRect

Hi Peter,

Greetings from UCD (retired).

The mouseMove needs to recognize the initial separation between the mouse at 
mouseDown the x loc of the object being moved at mouseDown. I call that 
distance dx. 
The following will move the button along the initial y coordinate of the button 
and the x loc of the mouse plus the initial separation dx  

local y0 ,myName, dx

on mouseDown
  put the short name of me into myName
  put the loc of me into p0
  put item 2 of p0  into y0
  put the mouseloc into p1
  put item 1 of p1 into x1
  put  item 1 of p0 into x0
  put x0 - x1 into  dx --The distance between the button loc and the mouse loc
end mouseDown

on mouseMove x,y
   if myName is not empty then
  set the loc of me to x+ dx,y0
   end if
end mouseMove

on mouseUp
  put empty into myName
end mouseUp

on mouseEnter
   put "" into myname
end mouseEnter

That doesn’t seem to be good for my immediate challenge—I’m able to restrict 
the motion to horizontal OK. It’s getting the control to move smoothly no 
matter where on it you click.

It will also not work if the *card* in question isn't open.  I'm not sure
where in the preopencard/opencard sequence this becomes effective.

That should be in the next release of LC 6.7. Ovals aren't included
yet because I hadn't figured out how to deal with them at that point.
If my latest pull request can get accepted before the next release
then you'll be able to use the effective points of ovals as well.

This is similar to walts, but doesn't handle angles.  It sets the points of
a preexisting line grc.  Just hated not to post it after figuring it out,
but stick with walts.

Heres the quicky code anyway..

local sxOffset,syOffset,sSegments,sxradius,syRadius
constant totalRadians=6.283185
on mouseUp
   put 360 into sSegments -- segments desired
   put 50 into sxRadius x radius
   put 30 into syRadius y radius
   put item 1 of the loc of this card into sxOffset -- just chooses the
center of the card as the center of the oval
   put item 2 of the loc of this card into syOffset
   put totalRadians / sSegments into tFactor -- the factor in radians based
on the number of segments desired
   repeat with i = 1 to sSegments + 1
  put sxOffset + sxradius * cos(i*tFactor) & comma & syoffset +
syRadius * sin(i*tfactor) & cr after tpointslist
   end repeat
   delete the last char of tPointslist
   set the points of grc "testgrc" to tPointslist
end mouseUp
