Re: LC-Magick Collection

[Roger Eller via use-livecode]

There is a dedicated tracing stack somewhere on the LC forum.  I think it
was made about a year ago, maybe longer.

Yah, that is an issue. The getUserMedia() method does not work in any form on 
iPhone. Wow, that's annoying.

Good to know - thanks Mike.

Re: Mobile library for barcodes?

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

Roger, golf clap.  With one hand.
Jonathan, that's by design.  We've had enough spyware on PC's that cause
the camera to take video and stills.  In fact, there was a case of a local
rent-to-own company near me commissioning such software and then they had
installed on every PC they rented.  When they had problems collecting
payments, they went to work.  True story.

Using a variable for an array name

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

I have arrays:
tArray1
tArray2
tArray3
tArray4


I want to get data from one of them:

put “tArray” & “1” into tVar
put tVar [“Text”] into tText1

tText1 is empty.



Is there a way to get the data from the arrays without doing this kind of thing 
for each array:

put tArray1 [“Text”] into tText1
put tArray2 [“Text”] into tText2

Thanks!

Auto scrolling a locked field when mouse comes to edge

[David Epstein via use-livecode]

When the mouse drags across text in an unlocked (horizontally and vertically) 
scrolling field, the field automatically scrolls at a legible rate to display 
the (previously hidden) text that the mouse was dragging toward.
Has anyone scripted a way to reproduce this effect for a locked field?
Many thanks.

 do "put"&&tArray&VarNum&"["&WrapQ("SomeOtherArrayValue")&"] into

Re: Using a variable for an array name

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

This is called macro substitution in other languages. You would use the form 
array&tvar in Foxpro for instance. LC has no macro Substitution. Instead:

put "put tArray" & tVar & "[temp] into tText" & tVar into tCommand
replace "temp" with quote & "text" & quote in tCommand
do tCommand
(untested)

Whenever you have a collection of variables whose names may be variable, 
an array is a natural fit.


LiveCode supports n-dimensional arrays, so you could use:

 -- Store:
 put "something" into tBigArray["1"]["text"]
 put "somethingelse" into tBigArray["2"]["text"]

 -- Retrieve:
 put tBigArray["1"]["text"] into tSomeVar
 put tBigArray["2"]["text"] into tAnotherVar

Re: Auto scrolling a locked field when mouse comes to edge

[dunbarx via use-livecode]

Hi.

Not sure, I guess, what you are asking.

I make an ordinary field, fill it with lots of dross, and lock the text. If
I click on any visible line and then drag the mouse around, the text below
the cursor, whether above or below the original clickLine, are all hilited.

Re: Using a variable for an array name

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

Yes, “do” does it. Thank you Ralph and Bob.

Richard, I’ve heard that “do” is slow because it must be compiled every time. I 
am reiterating this possibly hundreds of times, so it is probably much better 
to combine the arrays into a Big Array?

Is this an issue with “Focus with Keyboard” not checked or traversalOn not true?

Difference between "html" and "htmlText" in clipboardData?

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

The Dictionary entry for clipboardData lists these among the array keys:

- htmlText: LiveCode HTML text
- html: styled text in LiveCode HTML format

What is the difference between "LiveCode HTML text" and "LiveCode HTML 
format"?


If there is no difference and they're both LC's htmlText, why two key names?

It'll be a little faster, and to my eye much more readable.

"Do" is a good option when no other option exists. :)

Re: Auto scrolling a locked field when mouse comes to edge

[David Epstein via use-livecode]

To clarify:
For a locked field with autohilite and traversalOn both true, the “built in” 
auto scrolling works the same as with an unlocked field.  I’m looking for a way 
to script this kind of auto scrolling with autohilite and traversalOn both 
false.

Re: Dirty HTTP Launch

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

Bob, I can't really use yours since it doesn't always happen and Mike's
suggestion did not work.. there is no magnifying glass in the variable
watcher, so it is just the last character.  replace space with empty also
didn't work.  head scratching continues.

Thanks.  Interestingly, it shows a key for "html" but not "htmlText".

Do you know what the difference between those keys is?

Is this just a bug in the Dictionary and there is no "htmlText", with 
the "html" key using LC's htmlText?

They appear to be synonyms; at least, I get the same results with both keys.

no. The key list is derived from the clipboard array.
