[ANN] Yosemite Styles Window Plugin (free)

Hello Everyone... I wanted to have modern OS X style native windows (with Icons in the Titlebar) in LC for a very long time - I made an enhancement request in the Quality Control Center over a year ago: http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12069 Unfortunately there is not much going on wi

Inserting a character at the text insertion point in a field

I try to make a script in a field to allow only numbers or the decimal sign to be entered into the field. To block any other key is easy, but I have run into problems when I try to insert the decimal sign at the text insertion point in the field. This script only allows me to insert the decima

Re: Inserting a character at the text insertion point in a field

Hi Tore, You'll need to to use the selectedChunk property of the field. Check out the dictionary entry for it but as long as no text is selected in the field, replace your put statement with: put word 4 of the selectedChunk of me into tPos put "." after char tPos of me Pete lcSQL Software

Re: Inserting a character at the text insertion point in a field

Thank you! It did the trick nicely. Sometimes the solution is just too easy! In Norway comma is used as a decimal sign, and this way my students can make a script that will allow the user to write whatever decimal sign they choose. Tore > 28. apr. 2015 kl. 21.17 skrev Peter Haworth : > > Hi

Re: Stack is Dirty?

Is there any message sent in LC when the cursor moves into the titlebar of a stack? It occurs to me that this would be a good trigger for checking the modifiedMark to indicate the need for saving. The workaround would be a frontscript mouseleave handler that checks to see if the final mouseloc i

Re: Stack is Dirty?

Peter. Yes and no. The titlebar is no different than the edge of the card window. The only thing you get is "mouseEnter" and "mouseLeave" when you move the cursor across those borders. But since you know the mouseLoc, you can exploit that to determine if you are moving across the top edge.

when you start using a stack, the librarystack message is sent to the stack, so you could use that. On Tue, Apr 28, 2015 at 7:23 PM, Peter W A Wood wrote: > Is there a reliable method to initialise a library stack before it is > used? I tried adding preOpenStack and OpenStack handlers to the lib
