Re: system weekdayNames

I get "Sonntag Montag Dienstag Mittwoch Donnerstag Freitag Samstag" using LC 6.7.3 on OS 10.7.5 with week starting on Monday. Thomas Am 01.04.2015 um 03:15 schrieb Peter Haworth: > The system weekdayNames returns a list of day names in the user's local > language but is the order of the day name

system weekdayNames

The system weekdayNames returns a list of day names in the user's local language but is the order of the day names influenced by the calendar conventions of the user's location? In other words, if I'm in the USA, the first name in the list is Sunday. If I was in a country where the convention is t

Re: BackgroundColor

Thanks Craig, I figured I'd have to invent something. I haven't used measureText before but looking at the dictionary, it seems to indicate the measurements all relate to the text itself. However, I do know the textheight and the width of the item so I should be able to do as you suggest. Pete l

Peter. I think this may have to be a kluge. Would the "measureText" function give enough information to allow you to place a transparent colored rectangle graphic? Craig -Original Message- From: Peter Haworth To: How to use LiveCode Sent: Tue, Mar 31, 2015 5:53 pm Subject: Re: Ba

Re: BackgroundColor

Thanks Ralph. Unfortunately I need to set the background of certain columns (by which I mean between tabs) of a line. Interesting that it works for the whole line though. I think I might report it at QCC, not really a bug just an inconsistency. Pete lcSQL Software Home of

Movie problems in LiveCode

Yes, Devin, in using your script for Macintosh using LC 6.7 and higher: set the filename of player 1 to the defaultFolder & "/media/mymovie.mov" that appears to let the movie show after the standalone is transferred to other Mac or Windows computers. I thank you for pointing that out. However,

Re: OT: On-Rev issue (non-emergency)

Graham, the htaccess.txt file might contain the correct stuff, but as long as it is not named .htaccess it will be ignored by the Apache server. Can you open it and post the content of that file here? Or if you want to use the php.ini for your custom settings and the public_html folder does no

BackgroundColor

I am setting the backgroundcolor by script of a chunk of text in a field whose textSize is 16 and textHeight is 30. The backgroundcolor only hilites the text up to the textSize, the area between the textSize and the textHeight stays unhilited. Is there a property which will hilite the selected te

Graham, you could try to disable it using an .htaccess file which is put into the root folder of your domain. Please add the following line to the .htaccess files php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off If this does not work you could use a php.ini file to disable it. See the first example at http://ph

If you have 10 minutes to spare, check out the video at https://youtu.be/-5wpm-gesOY on the topic of dealing with time zones and various other time related anomalies It's quite funny! It does mention that there is open source code to deal with this but doesn't say where it can be found. Pete lcSQ

Hi Pyyhtiä, I don't have any technical suggestions for you. But a non-tech suggestion and a point of information: - suggestion: add a grace period. Possibly display the information that your term ends today - but in practise give a 24-hour grace period when the app still works. If the cli

I wonder if anyone else has met this funny problem. And possibly coded out a solution for it. In my app, the automatically renewing in-app subscription term ended today, at 14:30. This expiry time was calculated in the app by just adding one month at the previous payment time (because Google,
