Okay, Thanks. I figured for testing I could install it on my local machine and I would be off. Going further forward though maybe I can install this on an old windows PC I have, buy a domain name and I have my own 'server' environment that I can use for my small programs I build.. Am I correct

Hi Nakia You could setup a virtual machine on your local PC using VMware or VirtualBox and install a popular linux (server) distro like Ubuntu. It's a good learning experience. regards alex On 30/03/14 6:41 AM, Nakia Brewer wrote: Hi, I want to learn how to use LC server scripts (try and i

Nakia, On the Mac, which is the only system I've tried it on, you get a ready to go installation. You can set it to have a different port and local host IP address, so you don't need a domain name. The setup tells you how to do this. I also have an installation on a separate server that I can ac

No reminder necessary and one of the reasons I look at dp releases is exactly what you said, to find things that aren't compatible with my code and probably other peoples' code too. And yes, it bothers me but that's not a reason to not test things. I'm simply stating my opinion about a change that

Just ran some tests on this on Windows 8. It seems to work as advertised. However I think what happens to the menuHistroy when you set the label to a non existent value is incorrect. In that circumstance, the menuHistory is unchanged which is inconsistant with what happens if you set the menuHis

Google WAMP. On the Mac, it's MAMP. Easy to install, contains Apache, MySQL, and php. You can run it on your desktop computer. Also, free. Install is trivial. You can install the LC server on it and do your testing. It's so easy I don't know why more folks don't suggest it. Bill William Prothe

Re: Change to the label property in 6.7

Thanks Paul. I'm a little concerned about what happens in your mouseUp handler if I'm understanding it correctly. If "Test" doesn't exist in the button, I would have expected the menuHistory to be zero or empty or something to indicate that the label doesn't exist in the text of the button. Also

I've been looking into my stacks to see how they will be affected by the change to the way the label property of an option menu works in 6.7. As long as it will still be possible to set the label of an option menu to a value that is not in its text, all should be well. Unfortunately, I can't even

One way to do this if you can is to move the looping portion/s of your current handler to a separate handler that loops using "send in", along with a variable check. Something like local allowMonitor command monitorProcess if allowMonitor is false then exit monitorProcess do monitor stuff

To break into your loop so that an external control can, er, take control, add this line as appropriate inside your loop(s): wait 0 with messages This will let the handler look outside itself for a brief instant, so that a mouseUp message can be generated by that "cancel" button. You do kn
