HI Ralph, Yes indeed! I actually made that specially to get along with revIgniter, and thought I could well participate and make it available as a revIgniter contribution, at least the basic dbstack for use with revServer. It will be nice to test and have feedback from you and others. I should ha

Hi Robert, The reason is that in 5.5.2 the select command may trigger the openField message. Maybe the following solves it: on openField answer bla with "Yes" or "No" -- etc if it is "No" then select empty else lock messages select the text of me unlock messages end if en

Re: If construction bug in 5.5.2 ?

You have created an interesting infinite loop here. The command "select the text of me" will enter the field generating an openField message. Why this does not, as you say, happen with 5.5.1, I do not know, but it seems to me that it is working exactly as expected with 5.5.2. If I were a doctor

I tried this with 5.5.0, 5.0 and 4.6 and they all behaved the same as 5.5.1 so I assume that was correct behavior before 5.5.2. I don't see any mention of a change in select/openField behavior in the 5.5.2 release notes so is this a bug? Pete lcSQL Software On Fri, Sep 2

Re: head spinning over datagrids

Datagrids have a distinct advantage over normal LC field objects in several areas. First, there is included a method for displaying huge amounts of data beyond what a normal field could handle. Secondly, you get a LOT more control about how to format and display the data. Things you would think

pixelScale?

I finally got a chance to review the v5.5.2 notes for Android, and it seems there's still no pixelScale or pixelDensity function - is that correct? Given that it's a one-liner in the Android API and how essential it is in developing for that platform, I'm hoping I've just missed something. T

Hi Richard: This was discussed as option on the list a few months back, but the height of the status bar is not reliable, mostly because of all the various OEM themes applied on top of Android. If you search the archives, you can probably dig up the details. If it hasn't been added yet, hopefull

Re: pixelScale?

Google assumes we are all working in java where the density is abstracted into 4 common plus a couple of less common density groups. LiveCode doesn't do that abstraction for us so we get the actual pixels on screen. The DisplayMetrics class has a density property which gives you the abstracted
