Re: Android, acceleratedRendering and visual effect

Hi Dan This looks like a regression from the large number of acceleratedRendering related patches that went into 9.0.1 rc 1. I am looking into it as it will be a blocker for 9.0.1-rc-2. Cheers Monte > On 20 Jul 2018, at 4:13 am, Dan Friedman via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hello! > > Using

Re: Property Inspector, Text Formatting, Text style ->Plain Button?

I mentioned a day or two ago that the bit of the property inspector that does all the actual dirty work is a tree widget! I think when RunRev switched over to using a tree widget, they lost other functionality in the bargain. Not that the functionality HAD to be lost, but I think they just rewr

Re: drawing a Barcode without a Barcode font

Not sure if it will work for your purpose, but as a test I created for graphic lines, 1 narrow black, 1 wider black, duplicated them and set the blendlevel of the copies so that they're transparent. Grcs are named narrowB, wideB, narrowC and wideC (b for black, c for clear) Then used the followin

Property Inspector, Text Formatting, Text style ->Plain Button?

Hi, just noticed again that in the property inspector under text formating there is not the “plain” button/icon anymore to set the text to plain. In LC 6 this button is still there. Is this a bug or are there reasons why this button is not there anymore? What do you think? Regards, Matthias

Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

Just one more note: I think this syntax would have been preferrable: insert the script of button "myButton" {in front of | before} group "myDatagrid". The parser would have to determine what the object was that was already in front of the datagrid, if there was any, and "plug in" the new bahav

Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

I have been thinking about it, and if you accept that when you set a behavior it's like inserting the script of the behavior object in front of the target (or by your diagram on TOP of the target). So syntactically, it's the complete opposite of what *actually* happens, but in terms of the messa

Re: drawing a Barcode without a Barcode font

I think the trick will be drawing large graphics one at a time and properly spaced at several times their finished size, perhaps off screen, then getting a snapshot of the result and scaling it down. Not sure how picky the readers will be. Bob S > On Jul 19, 2018, at 15:06 , Matthias Rebbe v

Re: drawing a Barcode without a Barcode font

Currently i am using a special 2of5i barcode font. The font .has only four characters (bars) in its set. The code displays a narrow space (blank) bar when the character is n narrow black bar when N wide space when w wide black bar when W The code can only display a pair number of digits. You c

Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

Come to think of it, this IS backwards, but it works. The behavior of group datagrid 1 is by default button id 1005 of stack "revDataGridLibrary" the behavior of button id 1005 of stack "revDataGridLibrary" is stack "RevDataGridLibraryBehaviorsDataGridButtonBehavior" so what your statement *sh

Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

Bernd, you are a genius. I apparently have the heirarchy of behaviors backwards. I would have thought that this would set the behavior of ALL datagrids to include the button script. That of course would be disasterous. Bob S > On Jul 19, 2018, at 10:35 , Niggemann, Bernd via use-livecode >

Re: drawing a Barcode without a Barcode font

Hi. Curious. So you are creating your own barcode, er, code? That is, you are, say, making three thin lines with thin spaces, and then three thick lines with thick spaces, and storing that pattern somewhere? And then you read that pattern and look up what it refers to? Craig -- Sent from: h

Android, acceleratedRendering and visual effect

Hello! Using LC 9.0.1 (rc1), on android only, if I have acceleratedRendering on, the effect is not applied when doing this: lock screen for visual effect //do something unlock screen with visual effect wipe left //any effect fails However, if acceleratedRendering is off, the visual effect is a

Bob, if you want to use a a behavior for the datagrids make a button with on mouseDoubleUp put the long name of the target end mouseDoubleUp and then set the behavior of your datagrids like this set the behavior of the behavior of the behavior of group "datagrid 1" to the long id of button

Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

Actually Tom, I think I figured out a way around this. I've already put my stack scripts for the subModules into behaviors. By adding a selectionChanged handler in that behavior and checking to see if the dgControl of the target is empty, I can pass selectionChanged for fields and handle it for

Re: Datagrids and Nested Behaviors

Hi Tom. I usually find a way around things myself, but in this case, not. I have a main form, where all the datagrids behave the same way on doubleMouseUp, selectionChanged etc. I then have what I call subForms (substacks that detail a given table and it's dependent tables like devices and acc

LiveCode server IDE - the current state of the art?

Hi folks, I’m attempting to engage with LiveCode Server after a couple of years since I last played - when the approach was to roll your own IDE (i.e. pick a text editor) and optionally use the RevIgnitor framework. I’d be obliged if anyone could please update me on the current state of the art
