Re: Stack Height/Menubar

Hi Klaus, I found that: set the defaultMenubar to group “MyMenuBar” of stack “MenuBarSubStack” (Does not work.) but set the defaultMenubar to the long ID of group “MyMenuBar” of stack “MenuBarSubStack” (works!) Although when I create the standalone it stops working. I think it is not finding

Can you use the web API?  If not, then LCB will need to be used to build the needed module. Thanks, Brian On Nov 15, 2018, 5:58 PM -0600, Antuan Johnson via use-livecode , wrote: > Does anyone have any experience implementing Steam's API with LiveCode? > I'm working on a game that requires the A

Hi Bill - I convert the JSON (jsonImport) to an array then use a treeview widget to display it. I then use an actionDoubleClick handler in the widget script to grab the appropriate array element and display it in an ask dialog. The value goes back into the array and I export the array back to JS

Hi, I’m editing a json string (for development uses) and wonder if there is an easy way to validate whether the string is a valid JSON string. Or, perhaps there is an easier way to display and edit a pretty simple array. Suggestions would be helpful. Currently, I convert the array to JSON, put

Re: Stack Height/Menubar

Hi Klaus, This sounds like it could be a good solution. Unfortunately after trying to do it several ways I can’t seem to get it to work. Could you be a little more specific about what exactly you are doing? Are you setting the defaultMenuBar with a script, or are you just checking the butto

Re: Reading data from Google Sheets

No good. Somewhere the last char of the text of a google sheet is inserted three times in the body of the html tag suite. So adding a delimiting char of any kind is futile. I still think I am overthinking this. Craig -- Sent from: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Revolution-Use

Well, heck. Even I know that the string "><" is ubiquitous in html tag sets. Wasn't thinking. So for now, I have to include an arcane char at the end of my sheet file, and lose it in LC. Craig -- Sent from: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Revolution-User-f278306.html

Re: Stack Height/Menubar

I'm going to have to give that a try. I have standard menus, with additional menus depending on the module. I already have a script where I can add and remove menus on the fly and reposition all the buttons, so it wouldn't be difficult to set the menubar the way you are doing it, then add the cu

Re: Stack Height/Menubar

I do not have that problem. I have objects well into that space. I have a status bar for displaying progress messages 9 pixels from the bottom of each card. That being said, I do set the size of my windows by script when they open, because I had an issue with it between Windows and Mac. Windows

Re: Stack Height/Menubar

I haven't needed to create menubars for some time, but this is how it has always worked in the past: LiveCode menus are objects that take up room at the top of a card. On Windows, this is standard; menus appear at the top of each window. When the same stack is run on a Mac, LiveCode pushes the

Did you try turning "Set as stack menu bar" off and back on? When I do that, the stack size changes. Or you could do what Klaus mentioned. On Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 10:26 AM Terence Heaford via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > This is fair enough but you still cannot put anyt

This is fair enough but you still cannot put anything in the bottom 22 of a visible card on screen. Try dragging an object to the card and it will not allow you to place it in the bottom 22 of the card (LC 9.0.1) Thanks Terry > On 15 Nov 2018, at 15:37, Paul Dupuis via use-livecode > wrote

Look at the 'effective' keyword in the dictionary The effective rect of a stack includes the borders and titlebar. The rect of a stack is just the interior size available for card and controls.. The difference gives you the border sizes and titlebar sizes. You can also use 'effective' with ofther
