Richard.  I will keep a eye out to see if something I do or some particular section of code which causes a crash.  I have no issue with sending you my stack; it is only for internal use. But there are many handlers in many controls on many cards, all in a mainStack and a handful of substacks. I

Curry. We are all fortunate in that you found the culprit in a single command in a line of code. It crashes LC 9.5.1 in Mac OS. If I change the second parameter (tDel) to a single char, all is well, The issues I am having with my project occur in random places in different handlers at random tim

All. It did just occur to me that ALL my crashes occur when the SE is open. Never just playing with the stack. I am trying to remember now whether I am modifying code or not when the crash occurs. The problem, (actually the beauty, of course) of LiveCode is that one can jump in a and out of the

Sure. Any object that has an inspector, and that means everything, can hold custom properties. Open the stack inspector and check it out. The trick is to know where to place these things. It depends on what is going to need them. In a sense, you might think they ought to fall into some sort of "

Hi. I may not really understand what you want, but doesn't the "Find string" variant solve your problem? If you have a field 1 with "cat" on line 1, with "cât" on line 2 and "cat" on line 3, that is, the line 2 "cat" has charToNum(137) in place of the standard "a". on mouseUpfind string numToCha

A bit of LC lore from the dictionary: If the user presses the key while editing a field, normally the insertion point moves to the next control whose traversalOn property is true. If the tabStops property is not empty, the user can enter tab characters in the field. Each time the Tab key is press

I am with Bob on this. Oftentimes, just out of stubbornness, I will try to create a "native" solution to some problem. Native here means that I try to force, bend, cajole, whatever, the built-in functionality of LC to make an effect the way I want it. The stubbornness comes from trying to be as
