I need to prevent users from deleting a control by selecting it with the pointer tool and hitting the delete key. According to the LiveCode dictionary (under "deletefield"), an "undo" will work for fields. However, this appears to be true for buttons, but NOT for fields. Thus, On deletebutton An

I think you have to include the datagrid library in your standalone setup. Never done it. Heard about it. Bob On Sep 27, 2011, at 6:06 PM, Marty Knapp wrote: > I have an application with a Datagrid that's been working fine but I'm now > getting an error in the standalone (but it seems to work

Oliver, I do not drag multiple folders simultaneously, but one folder which contains subfolders. I use the following field scripts ON dragEnter IF there is a folder the dragdata["files"] THEN set the dragaction to copy END dragEnter ## The DragEnter checks if a folder is dragged. No folde

The only place they could select the pointer tool is in the IDE. I am almost certain this is not possible in a standalone. Are the users co-developers? I tried this out myself and can confirm this. I tried using copy then paste in a handler I called in 0 seconds, but the copy clearly did not wo

I thought of another thing you could do that would cover all objects. Set a custom property for the objects you don't want deleted, say noDelete, then upon deleteKey and backspaceKey check for that property by getting the customKeys of the selectedObject and seeing if noDelete is in it. If the

Hi everyone As you know we haven't had any events since almost a month. We can only have an event when there is presentations. It would be nice to have another event next week. You can present then, or at any later date. It's not hard, and takes about 2 hours including the show itself and se

Re: Datagrid Error

Thanks Bob - I do have the library included. This has been working for some time, but all of a sudden it's throwing errors. The weird thing is that it works in the ide. It even works in the standalone if I open my development stack with the datagrid by dragging and dropping on the application,

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I have everything working now with an amalgam of the code suggested. Things were further complicated because I needed to drag and drop text into the field from a datagrid. Pete Molly's Revenge _

I have, for decades, caused a transparent field to appear at the loc of the selectedText on mouseStillDown, loaded that field with that text, and then dragged the field from one place to another, dumping appropriately. Drag and drop is simulated nicely. It has been discussed now and then, here

Counting and numbering duplicates in a list

There are several ways I could approach this, but I'm unsure which way is best? I have a list of numbers that 'may' contain duplicates. I need to sequence ONLY the duplicates without changing the order the list. If there is only one, it does not need to be sequenced. Should I just repeat, and ke

Re: Counting and numbering duplicates in a list

Hi Roger My first thought would be to set up an array having your numbers as keys. Cycle through each key counting the occurrence of each number in your master list and then separate out the key values that are greater than one. Use the offset function to reference each value in the master list -

Where are this list of keys coming from? If from an SQL database, this could be done with an SQL SELECT statement with no need to write LC code. Don't know if it would be faster than LC without more information. Pete Molly's Revenge On Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 11:28
