Re: ID caching: how to test?

That case could make a difference yes, but it's hard to imagine a custom control with that number of components. Datagrids do chew up a lot of controls, it's true but it's usually in the hundreds because they only create controls for the number of rows visible in the datagrid, not the total rows o

Virtual Conference Freebie

Hello LiveCoders: In the spirit of RunRevLive and the move toward open source, I wanted to offer up small IDE add-on to the community called tmEffects, a plugin for managing graphic effects in LiveCode. In my day-to-day work, I need access to graphic effects all the time, and this palette makes t

Re: How do I catch the App Name > About without adding a menu bar?

Hi, You should not define only About. The best you can do is to create a new empty stack and use the Menu builder to add a menu to the stack. Delete the first item of the menu Help and see what happens. Delete the dash from the menu and see what happens. Put the dash back and look at the text p

Re: How do I catch the App Name > About without adding a menu bar?

Okay, I think I don't get the anatomy of the menu bar. I made a pulldown menu, gave it the name "Help" then on its choices, I only defined "About". Inside the script, I have a prompt to show answer info "hello world". After that, I selected that object and grouped it. I named the group "menubar".

Re: Context Menus - the look of the thing

Yes, the button contains a classic 'menuPick' script. In a test rig, it works fine as it is. I just made the thing work. I THINK I did this by ensuring that the button was in the hierarchy of the stack that was invoking it with a 'popup' script: previously I had tried to put the button in a com

Actually I **thought** it was solved because a test stack worked. Now in my real stack, it doesn't seem to work. Basically I have the button menu in an obscure card in a mainstack somewhere, and the mouseDowns can easily be shown to be reaching this stack and even this button, but the popup does
