Re: [OT] Apple at it again

[Peter Haworth]

Well said.  Apple's behavior in recent months has been ridiculous.   If 
Microsoft tried anything remotely close to this, the Apple lovers would be in 
an uproar.  This isn't just Amazon, it also applies to newspapers and 
periodicals who offer subscriptions for online reading of their publications 
through apps.  No company has a right to tell another company what price they 
can sell their product for and what outlets they must sell them through.

I'm a big fan of Apple hardware and software but they are becoming dictatorial. 
I won't use an iPhone or an iPad because of Apple's attitude.  I prefer to use 
an Android phone and am anxiously awaiting the release of Android tablets, to 
say nothing of the release of a version of LC that supports Android.

[OT] Apple at it again

[Chipp Walters]

Colin, if you read the article I referred to, the key issue is the
part that reads,,

'"Apple does require that if a publisher chooses to sell a digital
subscription separately outside of the app, that same subscription
offer must be made available, at the same price or less, to customers
who wish to subscribe from within the app," Apple's statement read.'

Most know Amazon (or for that matter any other mature channel presence
company) does not have in it's business proformas an extra 30% profit
on every item sold, to send to Apple. Furthermore, Kindle fulfillments
are delivered from Amazon's own servers, and I'm sure the buying
habits, nor privacy details of their customers are not something they
wish to share with Apple or any other third party.

Furthermore, Apples states in the article,

"Publishers and content sellers must remove any links within their
apps to outside-the-App Store purchasing options, Apple said, a
requirement that means Amazon.com must eliminate the link to the
Kindle Store that it currently provides in its iPhone, iPod Touch and
iPad apps."

So combine that with the REQUIREMENT they allow for in-app purchases,
and it appears the decision is already made for Amazon. Please tell me
where you think I am off base.

My guess is we'll see some back pedaling b Apple on all this very
soon. They'll call it "a clarification."

Hmmm. I wonder how Groupon or other companies like them who use an
iPad app to sell their services will fare?

That's not good logic. For one thing, people are making fortunes off their 70%, 
and I'm sure Amazon don't making more of a fortune. Also, the 30% applies to 
subscribers that Apple acquired for the publisher, not ones that the publisher 
brought to the app. Here's what the deal is supposed to be,:

[OT] Apple at it again

[Chipp Walters]

Surprise, Apple changed their license terms-- again.
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9209580/Apple_s_new_App_Store_rules_affect_Amazon_s_Kindle

I suspect Kindle will have to be dropped from the iPad and iPhone. I'm
sure Amazon doesn't have 30% in royalties to cough up to Apple for
books sold. Talk is there's a chance Netflix and Hulu and a host of
others will have to also.

Too bad Stevie just can't play nice with the rest of the world... And
there's already talk in the WSJ about justice department action. My
guess is just like the last time, after much hollering a screaming,
Apple will change it's mind and backpedal. Someday, probably sooner
than later, Jobs won't be in charge anymore, and we won't have to put
up with his constant fiddling with the iOS license-- though I suspect
we'll also miss some insanely great products-- and their launches.

Oh well.

onrev and PDF

Hello,

Is there an LC command or method that can be used in an irev script on
the onrev server to combine jpg images into a PDF doc? The images too
are on the onrev server, and the output should of course be to a
directory on the onrev server.

Thank you.

I used to speak French better than Portuguese when I was really young,
I lived in Dunkerque from 82 till 84 (I was 4 in 84) but when I
returned to Brazil, no one spoke french to me anymore so I forgot.

Re: AW: How to hilite a checkbox with send mouseup?

[Nonsanity]

This works with a checkbox button...

Checkbox button named "Check":

   on mouseUp
  put the hilite of me into msg
   end mouseUp

   on MouseUpWithHilite
  set hilite of me to not hilite of me
  mouseup
   end MouseUpWithHilite

Some other button:

   on mouseUp
  send MouseUpWithHilite to btn "Check"
   end mouseUp

However it does not work so well with a regular button. The effects of
hilite on a regular button don't match the effect of clicking it. The effect
could probably be duplicated, but hilite isn't enough in itself. And it
would also need to be changed from a toggle effect to a delayed effect like
so:

   on MouseUpWithHilite
  set hilite of me to true
  send StopHilite to me in 1 sec
  mouseup
   end MouseUpWithHilite

   on StopHilite
  set the hilite of me to false
   end StopHilite

But as I said, the hilite by itself isn't enough. Probably need to add some
color change, etc.

This method has one advantage over "click at" however, in that it works even
if the checkbox is hidden, in another stack, behind another object, off the
edge of the card, or blocked by another window. The "click at" command would
fail to handle those situations properly.

Re: LiveCode & google maps...

[James Hurley]

Peter,

Thanks. Very interesting.

A couple of questions.

Is "lineoffsets" a custom function or a typo?

And what is the "sr" function?

Thanks again,

Jim Hurley

RE: Keydowns during Socket Read/Writes

[Camm]

Can anybody who is good with Client / Server Sockets get a client to send
some data to the server when a key is pressed on the clients keyboard ??

If it is possible please could you share or see if it is a bug .

Also, your script has 'the' instead of 'then' (I know, just a typo), and
it has "else" ... "end if" with no corresponding "if" to begin.

Could I suggest that you include  the complete working script, as
copied/pasted from the script editor,
then include the complete on-working script. (or include both working
scripts ...)

That way we are seeing all the script lines with minimal chance of
misunderstanding.

Thanks

Re: iOS: How to create a transition to a new screen

[Jérôme Rosat]

Thanks Tom.

This is my code:

on LeftMove
   repeat 16 times
  set the loc of group "gTexteTitre1" to (item 1 of the loc of group 
"gTexteTitre1")-10,(item 2 of the loc of group "gTexteTitre1")
  set  the blendlevel of group "gTexteTitre1" to the blendlevel of group 
"gTexteTitre1"+6
  set the loc of group "DataGrid 1" to (item 1 of the loc of group 
"DataGrid 1")-20,(item 2 of the loc of group "DataGrid 1")
  wait for 1 millisecond
   end repeat
   set the blendlevel of group "gTexteTitre1" to 100
end LeftMove

But I realize that the transition should be interrupted, so I must change the 
code. I also think that the move command is not appropriate because it is not 
possible to simultaneously move the table view and the title of the navigation 
bar.

Peter,

Thanks for sharing this code. Can you tell us what format the origin  
and distance argument values need to be in? City, State, Country?  
Postal Code?


Devin


Look at the Google API. I just paid attention to the case of inputting  
addresses -- other values might be do-able. I didn't check out the  
alternative, but the API seems pretty informative.

Yep - I'm already using a mouserelease handler, which is fine if you hold
the mouse down while you're doing the menu selection but doesn't catch those
situations where you click to display the menu and then move the cursor with
the mouse unclicked to make a selection. If the user moves on to some other
object without clicking the menu then it stays open.

While it's not ideal, for the moment I'm using a mouseLeave handler to send
a message to check whether the mouse is with the menu 3 seconds later - if
it isn't then I close it.

Thanks Jacque - problem is that I'm using a list field for my 'menu' and
focus doesn't work with fields with their traversalOn set to false.

UPDATE: Drag and Drop

[Bob Sneidar]

As far as the problems I have been having with drag and drop, I discovered I 
had a bad datagrid. When I deleted and recreated the datagrid, everything began 
to work properly again, with the exact same scripts (I saved and restored the 
scripts). Oddly, dropping onto any other column besides the third one worked, 
but dropping on the third column produced a bad dragDestination, and trying to 
get the dgIndex of the dragDestination returned empty. 

This frankly scares the bejesus out of me because at any point I can have a 
corrupted datagrid, and not know it until after I deploy. I am going to have to 
be very, very careful when working with these things. 

Also, the help says that the dragDestination is only available in the dragDrop 
handler, but I am using it in the dragReorderDrop handler (as per Datagrid 
Helper) and it works fine. Also, there is no help entry for dragReorderDrop. 

Bob

Take a look at the "focus" command in the dictionary, it sounds like 
what you need.

LiveCode Event Feb 26th.

[Peter Haworth]

Hi,
Checking in to see if you still have a slot I could use for a presentation on 
the above date.  What I'd like to show is a tool I've put together that helps 
with the development of LiveCode Apps that use SQL databases by eliminating a 
large percentage of the LiveCode and SQL code developers normally have to write.

If it's a go, I'd appreciate some guidance on the tools I will need to use to 
have the presentation go out live.  I have some presentation materials and will 
also be creating some Livecode stacks using the tool during the presentation.

Thanks,

Pete Haworth

...none of it is ever really trivial, especially when your head hurts

It would be better to do something like add another handler to the button:

MouseUp handler in the button works as expected, and this message has the
same result as clicking the button (toggling the hilite in the process) and
enacting the MouseUp handler.

Chris,

The above won't work  as intended, it will turn the hilite on for good.
You would need to add a delay and reverse the hilite before 
continuing with mouseUp.


The click command simulates user physically clicking the button, which
I believe was the effect that original poster wanted.

Re: Stackfiles followup

[Peter Haworth]

Monte, Thanks for the update.  I just changed all my code back to using the 
stackFiles property instead of using the code you suggested in the Startup 
event and now everything works!  I have changed this code so many times now 
that I honestly can't remember what is different about it now that when it 
didn;t work.  In any case, I'm happy it is now working and I can move on.

Thanks to all who helped out with this.

Re: How to hilite a checkbox with send mouseup?

[dunbarx]

This is actually a good thing. Because the actions are separate, you get more 
control.  It is therefore proper that if you want to combine them, you write it 
that way.



You just have to get used to the details.

Hi Jim,
thanks for your coaching. I wasn' t aware that sending the mousup message
wouldn't trigger the needed event.
So I was correct that I have to script both the message and the event.

Re: AW: How to hilite a checkbox with send mouseup?

[Nonsanity]

It would be better to do something like add another handler to the button:

on MouseUpWithHilite
set hilite of me to not hilite of me
mouseup
end MouseUpWithHilite

And send THAT message to the button from afar. This way, the existing
MouseUp handler in the button works as expected, and this message has the
same result as clicking the button (toggling the hilite in the process) and
enacting the MouseUp handler.

In this case, you can use click instead of send:

click at the loc of btn "test"

This will create the event and send the mouseUp.

Re: Live LiveCode Code Event #10

[Nonsanity]

I'd post the stacks I used for most of my demo, but as I demonstrated, REST
API's are SO simple to put together with LiveCode that I think it's a better
exercise to write the line or two of code yourself that each contained. The
video should contain all the information you need, but are the links to the
REST services I used:

Re: How to hilite a checkbox with send mouseup?

Hello,

when sending:  send "mouseup" to btn "test" the button gets the  
mouseUp

command, but doesn't hilite, though it's property Autohilite is true.

Do I really have to set additionally the hilite of that button by  
script?


I also have "pass mouseUp" in the buttons mouseUp handler and I am  
getting

"exit" as the result in the message box

What am I missing? Why do I get "exit" in the message box?


mouseUp is a LCode message, not an event.

just as 'mouseUpIwantToTrap' is a message you could send to an object,  
or a stack script, or a back script, etc.


Clicking on a checkbox will both send the message and perform the event.
   set the hilite of btn "chkboxStatus" to true

Sending the 'mouseUp' message will work just fine even if the check  
box is hidden, on a different card, or on a card in a different  
stack.  The same goes for setting the hilite.


send "mouseUp" to btn id 1022 of card id 1446 of stack "Survey  
Questions"


set the hilite of btn "chkboxStatus" of card id 1446 of stack "Survey  
Questions" to true



Hope this helps
-
Why not step through your code and see what happens in the flow of the  
script?

It sounds like 'pass mouseUp' is triggering the 'exit' string.

Hope this helps

Here is a function I have used to fetch the total distance between two  
addresses from Google maps. The function returns the distance without  
displaying any map, but you could play with the script to also display  
the map.




function getMileage
   put "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?"; & \
  "origin=&destination=&sensor=false" into tURL
   put fld "from" into tStart
   put fld "to" into tEnd
   replace "" with urlEncode(tStart) in tURL
   replace "" with urlEncode(tEnd) in tURL
   put URL tURL into t
   put lineoffsets("",t) into startSect
   put item -1 of startSect into startSect
   put lineoffsets("",t) into endSect
   put item -1 of endSect into endSect
   if startSect = 0 or endSect = 0 then
  beep
  exit to top
   end if
   put line startSect+1 to endSect-1 of t into tSect
   put lineoffset("",tSect) into dLine
   if dLine = 0 then
  beep
  exit to top
   end if
   put sr(line startSect + dLine of t) into tMiles
   --   3.6 mi
   replace "" with empty in tMiles
   delete word -1 of tMiles
   return tMiles
end getMileage

How to hilite a checkbox with send mouseup?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

when sending:  send "mouseup" to btn "test" the button gets the mouseUp
command, but doesn't hilite, though it's property Autohilite is true.

Do I really have to set additionally the hilite of that button by script?

I also have "pass mouseUp" in the buttons mouseUp handler and I am getting
"exit" as the result in the message box

What am I missing? Why do I get "exit" in the message box?

Thanks

Tiemo

Re: Problem transferring focus to another object

[dunbarx]

Hi.


I am not exactly sure what you need, but I do something similar. I have a 
locked field "class" where I want to place one of several text options. I have 
an option button "class" that I reveal wherever I click the mouse down in the 
field. That button appears at the mouseLoc and I can then select something from 
it. The selected text is loaded into the proper line of the field. The button 
disappears. In the field script:




on mouseDown
   set the loc of btn "class" to the clickLoc
   put  item 2 of the loc of btn "class" into tLoc
   put trunc((tLoc - the top of me) / the textHeight of me) + 1 into tLine
   set the clickedLine of me to tLine --remember the line of recent interest
end mouseDown


on mouseUp
  show btn "class" at the clickLoc
  click at the loc of btn "class"
end mouseUp





And in the option button script:



on menuPick pItemName
   put  the clickedLine of fld "class" into tLine
   put pItemname into line tLine  of fld "class"
   hide me
end menuPick


on mouseRelease
  hide me
end mouseRelease



Works fine.

Try grouping the control and the list field and putting the mousemove handler 
into the group script?

The text of pFieldEditor is not UTF16 or UTF8. All of your other code is
expecting UTF8 so you should probably use this with SetDataOfIndex:

unidecode(the unicodeText of pFieldEditor, "utf8")

Behavior references have to be in the form of a long id:

   set the behavior of btn "testBtn" to the long id of (button id  
1234 of stack "xyzSub")


Is that the problem?

datagrid: on closeeditor the accents are lost

[JosepM]

Hi,

I have a datagrid that use the UTF8 to store the data.

On FillData I have:

 set the unicodetext of me to uniencode(pData,"utf8")

If I load some value from the database that also use UTF8 the data are
showed fine. But when I edit some value all the accents and are lost.

In the EditValue I have:

set the dgTemplateFieldEditor["utf8text"] of the dgControl of me to
unidecode(the unicodetext of me,"utf8")
EditFieldText the long id of me, the dgIndex of me, the dgColumn of me

In the closeeditor I perform some checks but at end I have:

SetDataOfIndex the dgIndex of me, the dgColumn of me, the text of
pFieldEditor

What is wrong? :( 

I read the
http://lessons.runrev.com/spaces/lessons/manuals/datagrid/lessons/7337-How-Do-I-Save-Changes-The-User-Makes-In-An-Editor-Field-To-An-External-Data-Source-

But I don't see the problem.


Salut,
Josep M
