Re: Ordering text

Hi Terry, Try having your database retrieval perform the sort and not LiveCode. Use the SQLite: ORDER BY clause. See if that gives you a faster result. Rick > On Mar 29, 2020, at 7:06 AM, Terence Heaford via use-livecode > wrote: > > I have approx. 7000 lines of tab delimited data. > > Whe

Re: LiveCode useless seems to be Junk

Hi Richmond, If enough of your useful stuff ends up in your junk email mailbox folder well then.. welcome to your new inbox! LOL Seriously I hope you find a fix, and when you do let us all know. I don’t use Thunderbird so I can’t really speak more to the matter. Good luck! Rick > On Apr 12, 2

Re: Problem simulating a location

Hi Graham, You should really try it on the phone before knocking yourself out about why it doesn’t work on the simulator. I have found that some things involving sensors simply don’t work on the simulator. Try that, if it doesn’t work on the phone let us know. Good luck! Rick > On Apr 14, 202

Re: Simple 3D animation question

Hi David, How many wires in your wire animation? How fast and smooth does your rotation need to be? Is there going to be an image or writing on the side that shows up? Hmm, an icosahedron has 20 sides, so it’s like 20 sided dice! I just saw a web version that didn’t bother to rotate the image

Wildcard? replaceText, offset?

I have a very long string. In the middle-end part of the string I have “(x)” where x represents some integer. it could be (4) or (10) or (5) etc. I just want to replace the number inside the () with whatever other number I need to. I have been trying to find an easy way to do this. Ideally a

Hi Tiemo, If I were you, I would not use PHP just for security reasons alone. My servers are just pounded all the time with hackers trying to find PHP exploits. They even try to install PHP on my server so they can start hacking away. If you check your server’s log files I am sure you will find

Re: ADA Compliency

Hi Curry, I have a couple of questions for you. Is a trackpad or a trackball any better of an experience for you? Have you tried using the mac OS voice commands or controls? Dragon Dictate used to have voice commands and I seem to recall you could make your own too. I don’t recall if that was

Hi Curry, Sorry I tried to answer, or to be helpful, or to ask any questions. I had no intentions of getting your blood pressure up. I once made a talking calculator to help other people, and all I got was pushback from others with bad attitudes. Then people wonder why no one wants to help. I

Re: HTML Colour Groups

Hi Terry, Does it work if you use the Hex Code instead of the name? Are you using the LC Server for this? If so, what version of LC server are you running? Is the code embedded as LC code or is it HTML or CSS? Have you tested it in more than one Web-browser? Sometimes things don’t work in one b

Re: WebSites made using Livecode.

Hi Hery, You can set up your Livecode Server to work with your database directly on the same computer. You do not need PHP at all for anything. In fact if you look at your server log files you will see that China hacker bots are heavily searching for PHP and when they can’t find it they even try

Re: Has anyone created a specialised mobile keyboard?

Hi Graham, I suspect that you will have to roll your own keyboard. You could take little screenshots of the native keys that you want, and then move them to where you want them to appear in your keyboard. Then just detect when someone has hit each of the keys and record the order. Easy? Good lu

Pass Javascript Variable to LiveCode?

Re: The iOS "Files" folder
