Re: Windows standalone puzzle

Do you mean that the code is no longer in a function at all, it's just part of some "build the menu" routine, and that works, but if it's a function, even in the same object, it's no good? That is odd. gc Sent from my iPad On Aug 28, 2013, at 11:40 AM, "Peter M. Brigham" wrote: > It started

Re: MySql vs Valentina

Hi, My suggestion is to post your question on the Valentina Use List, which I've CC'd. I haven't done what you want, but the API calls are very powerful and so would imagine it possible. Valentina has Binary LINKs, once you figure those out it makes creating and maintaining data relationships ve

Re: Windows standalone puzzle

Glad you got it working. Just a nitpick but you want to consider using numToChar(133) instead of "...".so you only take up 1 char instead of 3. Of course nothing's ever that simple 'cause then you'd have to use ISOToMac as well when on a Mac.. Pete lcSQL Software On Wed,

Inventive approaches, thank you. I continued to have trouble with using any function at all to trim the lines in a Windows standalone though everything I tried worked in the Mac IDE. It started working fine in the standalone when I put the identical code into the calling handlers. I still don't

Parsing iCal Format

Greetings! Has anyone messed around with parsing through a iCal file? I am writing my own [mobile] calendar that will read in and display iCal data. Getting and finding data in the file is easy (BEGIN:VEVENT, LOCATION, SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION, etc.). The problem is working with RRULE, the Recur

MySql vs Valentina

Hello, We are developing a new application using LiveCode. One requirement is that there is some easy way to alter the underlying DB schema, on-the-fly, by an administrator, who can then also immediately use it to make front-end changes. I have heard Valentina supports tight integration with L

I believe you have to change their icon. Build your own icons of the size you want and then import them as images etc. Roger On Aug 28, 2013, at 9:17 AM, Christer Pyyhtiä wrote: > What is wanted is that the checkbox scales with the textSize. Now it looks > like the box size stays constant n

Re: Radio / checkbox button scaloing

What is wanted is that the checkbox scales with the textSize. Now it looks like the box size stays constant not depending on textSize. I have been trying to find out ways but no success so far. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.

If there is a file would be much better and easier to read than: put libURLftpCommand("SIZE " & fileToQuery, LFtpServer, LFtpUserName, LFtpUserPassword) into tSize if word 1 of tSize is "213" then put true into fileExists else put false into fileExists end if ~Roger On Wed, Aug 28, 20
