Re: Getting a list of object properties

Folks: Thanks for the info. This should reduce some frustration. I can use the object inspector to find the kind of object the item is, then list all of its properties so that I am clued in on what words to search for in the dictionary. That is a big help. Thanks Bill William A. Prothero http:/

This is something I know about. Between a pretty decent VB com .dll and additional in house rules I get about 95.98% accuracy splitting up US/international name components. But there still is the .02% that need individual attention. I never process lists > 100,000 so this error rate is acceptable.

Re: lock screen question and detect field question

Hi Larry, As well as the afore mentioned, all excellent comments, you can use the 'if exists(fld "myField01") then' script. I also encapsulate all sorts of things in "try"..."end try" commands. These are extremely powerful although could be considered a little lazy. For example, when using iPhone

Understandable. And yet the question is not how you are to interpret a word boundary, but how a computer which only knows ones and zeros can. It’s the (computer) age old problem: Computers don’t do what you want them to. They only do what you tell them to. ;-) A great example is how to discern

On OS X use mdls -name kMDItemVersion /Applications/ (if you are using Spotlight to index files, which unless you have explicitly disabled the feature, you are). On Windows it looks like you need to install add-on software. There may be a javascript command that will work, which you can run fr

Re: Getting a version number

If you haven't built the standalone yet, include a button with the following: answer "Built with LiveCode version" && the version & "." If the standalone is already built, but it opens a .livecode stack, then add a button to the stack. ~Roger On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 3:40 PM, Magicgate Software

There's a qcc enhancement request out there for a new chunk type ("chunk") along with a "delimited by" clause. For this example, it would be possible to put the number of chunks delimited by space of field "xyz" into tCount Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser

Re: lock screen question and detect field question

One caveat: if you are assembling a great deal of text in small chunks, you should likely do it in a variable and then toss it into the field in one go. Field updates are slower than many (most?) other things you might be doing, and one field update with 10,000 lines will be *much* faster than 1
