Hi Trevor, I'm pretty sure that LC 5.0 included a more recent version of the sqlite library so there could be some performance improvements there. I don't know how to find out what version they are using but the current sqlite library version is 3.7.10, released in January this year so it's probab

Re: How to set initial appearance of all buttons on UI using behaviors

Look in the dictionary at the templateButton. If you set the properties of that, then any button you set will have those properties. I think it is a local property, so will only apply within the script where you set it. Bernard On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 10:46 PM, Sivakatirswami wrote: > I have st

Re: Sqlite and performances in LiveCode

Your "acid test" is very interesting. Using sqlite3 directly is one solution to increase performance of LiveCode. And you're right, a response time of less than a second is acceptable from a user's perspective and and limit the number of registration is a way to reach this "performance". Le 5

Hi Bernard, Sorry to hear about Eric and ListMagic. I'm certainly not knocking the datagrid, it was a great addition to the Livecode arsenal of controls, no doubt about that. I have used both dgText and dgData and have not noticed a significant difference in performance which, as you say, is cont

OIC I have had problems also where a script stopped dead in it's tracks because something was wrong but it didn't visibly throw an error. Certain sqlYoga commands will do this, for instance if you use sqlquery_set on a query object that doesn't exist yet. Bob On Mar 4, 2012, at 7:30 PM, Sieg

I guess it depends on the app. A role player shootemup game for instance, would be poorly designed if a player could simply bail at the last possible moment and relaunch to avoid a bad score. Al accounting app however might want to have the user log in from the start for security reasons. Bob

Re: Sqlite and performances in LiveCode

There was such a datagrid-lite control a few years back, produced by Eric Chatonet. Sadly Eric died, and ListMagic appears to no longer be maintained. It used the basic field object, and well, it did some quite magical things with it. I think ListMagic stopped working with some changes introduce
