Re: response time of seconds in IDE?

I am afraid it must be the unicode beast... Personally I have never seen the need of it to implement it in this way so you can program in another foreign language (eg Chinese ;-). But I hope it will be parameterized so you can choose which unicode you want to support in the end result of your appli

Pete. What Mike said, in that maybe I do not understand your question. A control might, for example, belong to one or more groups, and a different control might belong to yet another group. But there is only one card that they all reside on, and only one stack that they, er, reside in. But i

Seems like "this card" would be useful, or, you could just get the long name of the object which contains a small to big list of owning objects starting with the object itself. On Sat, Dec 6, 2014 at 6:03 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > Every now and again, I wonder why certain properties are not ava

Every now and again, I wonder why certain properties are not available in LC. The ones that puzzles me the most are the owning card and owning stack of an object. Maybe it's just the kind of tools I write but I frequently need to get that information. I have written a couple of handlers to get t

response time of seconds in IDE?

In what universe did it make sense to replace the IDE in 7 with the native-coded version when the response time to things like switching tabs, or hitting an error handler, can be measured in seconds, rather than milliseconds? I just don't get it. Tabs should switch faster than my finger can leave

Re: Not LiveCode - Bug code

LiveCode 6.5 does indeed support iOS8, but I wouldn't think it would support ALL iOS features (LiveCode didn't support ALL iOS7 features). I think earlier versions needed some work-arounds for differentiating between 6 and 6plus screens but that these are sorted out now. As regards 64 bit, not yet

When did compile errors stop producing erros in LC7?

I think this changed in rc2, but I'm not sure. When there is a compile error now (rc2 and rc3), the red dot appears in the tab, but there is no longer an error message upon which I can click to jump to the offending line. Scrolling through a 10,000 line script gets tedious rather quickly . . . -

If the palette is the last stack to open, it may be the defaultstack even though it isn't the topstack. So after the opening sequence completes, try adding a command to set the defaultstack to the mainstack. On December 6, 2014 6:44:15 AM CST, Graham Samuel wrote: >I have an app where after so
