John If you just want to use LC fields they can be grouped and moved via script to upwards new locations when the keyboard is activated. Gerry On 15/04/2013, at 3:01 PM, JOHN PATTEN wrote: > The idea I was trying for was that if there were fields at the bottom of my > card that the iOS key

Re: Trapping for Hide Keyboard on iOS?

Thanks Jacqueline… The keyboardactivated and keyboardDeactivated messages work well to show the generic field at the top of the card. But because I am activating the keyboard using a field at the bottom of my window, the focus stays within that bottom field and not in my newly displayed field a

Re: Trapping for Hide Keyboard on iOS?

John Yes, use a native input control (see page 70 of the 6.0 iOS release notes). When the user taps in the control the keyboard shows (or you can have it show when the control is initially created or made visible). You can specify that your keyboard has a "Done" key - hitting that will hide the

Re: A small programming challenge

Yes, a few interesting aspects. I too was surprised that the (intuitive) array method was slower than the string-based method, so I looked into it some more. The string method took 35-37 msec on my machine. The array method took 84-85 msecs. But i realized that as well as changin string -> a

I've released it so far only as GPL and plan to release it dual license. If there'a pressure from people that want to buy it then that will encourage me to make that a higher priority but so far nobody has asked me about a license. There's binaries under a free account at mergExt.com Cheers --

Re: Moving controls smoothly around the screen

OK, quick report back. I added Colin's code to Paul's stack (but left the move rate at 20 ticks) and it worked nicely but the movement was somewhat jerky. Searching around the archives, I came across some comments about the syncRate setting, so I set it to 10 and everything worked very smoothly.

RE: Moving controls smoothly around the screen

Pete: Perhaps I'm missing a key detail of how you want to move things around, but I can make a group of buttons move smoothly using: * * *on mouseUp* *put the loc of group "btns" into theLoc* *add 100 to item 2 of theLoc* *move group "btns" to theLoc in 500 milliseconds* *end mouseUp*

Re: Moving controls smoothly around the screen

There is a problem I think, in that the wipe is throttled by the refresh rate of the screen, and ends up being slow even if you say "very fast". Here is a change of the second button script, where I removed the wipe, and also show the group after the showing of the button 2 list. I sped up the m

Re: Moving controls smoothly around the screen

Peter, You can do a move in time, I had a go at an accordion style menu system (like your example below), but couldn't make the group reveal and move the remaining buttons simultaneously, although it didn't look too bad. Anyway, the test I did is here if it helps… https://www.dropbox.com/s/m8l

Re: Foreign characters in file names

Hi Thomas, Mac OS uses "UTF-8-MAC" for a file path. We can import a unicode text file into a text field by AppleScript, but cannot read a file path. Probably "UTF-8-MAC" can be converted to "UTF-8" by AppleScript or others. I am not sure. -- Kenji Kojima / 小島健治 http://www.kenjikojima.com/ O

Hello Kenji, thank you for the hint. I tried something similar before, and I'm afraid your method doesn't help, and actually seems to confirm what I suspected, that LiveCode as it is (I'm using 6.0.0 now) isn't able to handle foreign characters in file names. To be more precise: my impression is
