The overwhelming data grid

Hi, I have a use case for the data grid, but the component feels a bit overwhelming. Really simple: I have rows for the grid in 3 columns, I want to style each column diferently, and attach different actions to every column type (cell). Some cells may have an icon instead of a text, or both. Text

Can LiveCode Dictionary text be enlarged?

Is there a way to increase the type size of the LiveCode Dictionary? The details of the dictionary entries are usually where all the rich details lurk, but that type is way too small for my middle-aged eyes. Suggestions? Thx, Tom Bodine -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution

Hi Graham, I use VirtualBox. Changing the windows also changes the value returned by LC's screenrect function. I would expect it to change in Parallels too. Interestingly, the machine function returns Unknown in Mac OS X but x86 in Windows, while both are running on a MacBook :-) It is not ver

Approach to integrating LC and non-LC apps

I'm writing an app that allows its users access to a variety of bit-mapped images and manipulates them in particular ways. I have found it easy with formats PNG, JPG, BMP that LC reads natively, but I also have to deal with PDF and TIF files. I have asked questions before about reading PDFs and

Submenus in the menuBar

I have no problem making submenus with ordinary buttons (cascade, pullDown, etc.). But I cannot see how to do this in the menuBuilder. Returns and tabs are not supported in that tool, so that the menuItems are formatted as they are in the contents of an ordinary popUp, say. What am I missing?

Re: Parallels on a Mac - apparent LC anomalies

Hmmm. Are you using Coherence or Crystal mode? In this case, I suspect that you might be running into Application Sharing weirdness. Try switching to Windowed mode and disabling all the sharing and see what you get. Bob On Apr 19, 2011, at 11:33 AM, Graham Samuel wrote: > I no longer have a

Parallels on a Mac - apparent LC anomalies

I no longer have a PC but I'm trying to test an app intended for PC use. I'm using Parallels 6 to emulate an XP machine on my Mac. Mostly this works, but the LiveCode functions that retrieve the machine, processor, OS type and (most importantly) the screenrect(s) just give you the Mac equivalent

Re: Yay! Victory RevServer runs on FreeBSD with Linux Compat installed.

My take on FreeBSD was that it was a very promising non-mainstream OS but never caught on large scale. There was talk, if I am remembering right, about Sun suing anyone who made anything that looked like Unix for a while there. I think that scared a lot of people off. I'm glad it still lives.

Re: Yay! Victory RevServer runs on FreeBSD with Linux Compat installed.

Kee, The three big BSDs (FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD) are all great. In 1999, I worked with NetBSD servers, this year, I went on to build myself a FreeBSD server and my knowledge from 1999 was instantly transferable. Things are where they should be. It is very easy to configure and secure a FreeBS

Re: How to copy a card you can't open

Seems like that would be a pretty essential character of table fields. Too bad. I must have put in leading spaces or something. The purpose of the card is only to format text for printing. Thanks for letting me know about that lack. How long before that feature is available for table fields? __

Re: Yay! Victory RevServer runs on FreeBSD with Linux Compat installed.

I've not used FreeBSD but two data points. A guy in the building where I live runs an online business that gets lots of hack attacks and he long ago switched to FreeBSD for his servers because in his experience it is way more secure than any of the Linux distros. Secondly, a friend of mine wh
