Launch Process on windows loses focus from main app

I have a window version of my LC app that I launch my KeyTrapper Monitor process after my app launches. The problem I am having is that after the KT launches I lose focus on my apps main card and even though I send code to top-level and focus on field "Input" of card main I can't get it to focus

Re: Launch Process on windows loses focus from main app

In the docs it says under the launch command that the launched app will come to the front and when my app quits the process then my app will come to the front. That is not what I need here. I need to launch the app in the background since it monitors the keys that LC can't trap and then I need t

Windows kill process

Ok, so again I have still yet another problem I can't seem to figure out. After I launch my external key trapper app from livecode and then want to quit I can't seem to get it to quit. I have been trying all of these with what appears to be no luck: put the itemDelimiter into tItemDelimiter put

I found the problem. The General Preference "if destroyStack is false..." was set to "Close the file". I don't recall setting it but I guess I must have. Somehow, "close the file" doesn't come across to me as removing it from memory but that is what it does. Pete lcSQL Software

Re: Windows kill process

While you seem to have an answer I'm wondering if open process / close process wouldn't be a simpler solution for you. If I remember right you are polling a file but you could be polling the process too if you open the process for read. -- M E R Goulding Software development services mergExt -

Monte, My problem is that it is too late in the game for me to switch. I thought about open process for text read first off but we had already had it set up this way. Now, I only have two more days till my dead line. So I can't change course now. I thought it would have been much smoother using

Re: Windows kill process

You could still use open/close process and poll the file. As I said to Trevor regarding UUIDs you can't rely on shell not locking up your whole app. On 12/03/2013, at 9:59 AM, Thomas McGrath III wrote: > My problem is that it is too late in the game for me to switch. I thought > about open proc

try using a full path to the object btn "local" of card 1 of stack "whatever" if the calling script isn't in the right place in the message path, it may never 'see' the object. On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 4:08 PM, Peter Bogdanoff wrote: > Hi all, > > In the course of a script that does other thing

Thanks Mark, will give it a try. I thought "return" was supposed to be the new universal way to refer to the platform-appropriate return character but I guess not. Then again, I'm not even sure this is really a platform related issue. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Desig
