Re: Faceless LiveCode App for CLI on Mac OS X and Windows 7

Richard: This is a wonderful response with great detail and advice; just what I need. I continue to be impressed with the responsiveness and thoughtfulness of the members on this LiveCode list. With genuinely useful help like this, LiveCode becomes even more valuable. I also received knowledg

android keyboard problems

I'm just starting my first real foray into Android development and I've immediately run into a problem with the keyboard behaviour. I have a login screen with username and password fields towards the top of the screen but when I tap in one of the fields and the onscreen keyboard comes up (in the

Re: Storing a control in a custom property

Yes you can do that. Just "copy" the control to the clipboard and save the clipboard data to a property. (clipboarddata["objects"] I think) I was doing this with whole stacks and it works fine. To restore the object, put the cWhereIStoredIt into the clipboarddata["objects"] and then paste it.

Storing a control in a custom property

Is it possible to store a control in a custom property and then create a control by referencing that custom property? I'm guessing the only way to do it is to store the object's properties in the custom control then create a new control and set its properties to the custom control Pete lcSQL Soft

Updated list of htmlText tags

I just discovered by accident, that htmlText now supports a tabstops definition within tag. There's no mention of this in the dictionary not in the release notes for 5.5, although other new htmlText tags are mentioned in the release notes. Is there a complete list of tags that are supported in h

Re: Comparing two databases

Hi Skip, I'd say it would be quite easy to open both dbs in LC, do a SELECT on each one for the primary key and the three fields you're interested in, then use LC to compare the results. One way to do it might be to put the results of the first SELECT into an array keyed by the primary key, do th

Re: Comparing two databases

Igor Thanks for the suggestions. I think doing it with LiveCode text handling is going to be a very flexible solution and you could just dump the data from the databases after a certain "date" which is set based on the last time they were synchronised. On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 11:32 AM, Ruslan Za
