Re: copy-paste not working in a standalone

[Paul Hibbert]

André, Pete,

This script just works with the currently selected text and will work in a 
stack without a menu, it's not perfect, but could be a useful starting point, I 
think it should work OK with a DG too.

Paul

## Paste into the Main Stack script

on commandKeyDown pKey
   switch pKey
 case "c"
 if the selection is not empty then set the clipboardData["text"] to 
the selection
  break
 case "x"
 if the selection is not empty then
set the clipboardData["text"] to the selection
put empty into the selection
 end if  
 break
 case "v"
 if the clipboardData["text"] is not empty then put the 
clipboardData["text"] into the selectedText
  break
 case "a"
  select text of the focusedObject
  break
 case "z"
  undo
  break
 default
  pass commandKeyDown
   end Switch
end commandKeyDown

I've seen 'larger than 100%' fonts cause problems in a lot of different

Not sure why it would not show when modeless, so if you haven't logged a bug

Not really. Enabling file access is clearly in the realm of the engines 
responsibilities as just about everybody posting on this thread has 
demonstrated by saying I should be in the engine. How many more OS x versions 
will there be before the user will have to change some obscure setting to allow 
a non-sandbox app? My guess is no more than 2.

I'll tell you what. Anyone prepared to purchase the suite if I produce this 
bookmark external is welcome to email me off list to pledge to the fact. If I 
judge the ROI to be worthwhile I'll do it.

Re: Lessons learned on my Mobile Journey

[Chipp Walters]

We're working on it right now. I've updated altButton so that now it uses
images which will scale with the button-- and it's all integrated nicely
with the inspector and libraries. Ken's polishing things tomorrow. I hope
we have a DropTool which raps this up nicely!

BTW, it's been tested now on multiple iPhones and Android hardware and
works like a charm. Just a few mouse clicks on the inspector and the
interface just 'knows' how to scale itself-- no coding required. :-)

Not on a listserv, no. I can't think of anything I have to say to a
list that would take that much text. If you hit the limit because you

Yes, I've seen that on the forum and have tried the trial.  But it's far
from complete and haven't seen any posts about if and when it will be
complete.  You seem to have the drive to get these things to market.

Seao Sean started an address book external several months ago, but once
again it never made it to market.  Alos, I'd probably add access to the MAc
Calendar to the list.

Getting their source code would help I'm sure, certainly as far as getting
access to useful functions that RunRev havenn't exposed to LC users.  For
example, there's one that allows you to set a callback to be called at
regular intervals duting long running db operations so you update a
progress indicator of some sort.  There's several others.

In addition to the, the library they include is around 18 months and 7
releases out of date and there have been several new features in sqlite
since than.  WAL locking, more virtual table types, etc.  I don;t know how
you can handle that since it would require a newer sqlite library to be
included in LC.  Maybe that's what you mean but "customised versions"?

Well I haven't ranted on the dev list but I (and I think several others)
have entered QCC reports and had zero response.  I hope you're right but to
be honest, I doubt anything much is likley to be added to the desktop side
of LC for a long wile, since RunRev are clearly putting almost all their
resources into mobile.

Yep, I understand that, but the same principal applies to RunRev's
evaluation of whether to provide this or not.  I think you'd be surprised
at how many LC devs would put stuff into the APple store it they weren't

Re: copy-paste not working in a standalone

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Jacque,
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think he has a menu script right now.

Your handler works fine of course.  However, when I tried that simplistic
approach in my SQLiteAdmin program, it was politely pointed out to me by a
customer that the availability of cut/copy/paste/clear commands should be
dependant on the cursor being in a control where they make sense.

In my case, only text was involved but I ended up adding code that detected
whether the current control was a field or not and enabling/disabling the
controls appropriately.  Oh yes, and also enabling/disabling, the
paste/undo command depending on whether there was any text on the
clipboard.  It could get more complicated if you wanted to cut/copy out of
something like a datagrid.

Re: mergExt pricing changes and free externals

[Peter Haworth]

One other addition to this.  I haven't researched this fully yet but I
believe a different version of the sqlite library will be required to run
on Windows 8 than with any other platform.  I'm not sure how RunRev plan to
deal with that one since the two libraries can't co-exist in the same
binary.

There's a long standing tradition that the sqlite library is compiled into
the program that uses it, not loaded from an external library file.  I
totally agree with that for an end product, compiled application.  But for
development tools, there has to be a way of using whatever version of the
sqlite library is appropriate.  With any other programming language, I
could do that but we're locked out of the ability to it in LC that because
the sqlite literary of RunRev's choice is compiled into LC.

Re: Storing a great many fields in a database

[Peter Haworth]

It's a little hard to decipher exactly waht your're trying to achieve here
but here's a few thoughts..

Are you saying that you want to store the default, override, and actual
values in the table row of the database? If so, that deosn't feel right to
me.  I'd split that into a default table, an override table, and actual
value table, each connected by a foreign key to the primary key of the
table that idntifies the debtor, (name/address, SSN, etc).

Another approach might be to try to group the fields into categories that
logically belomng together somehow and have a separate table for each
category, once again linked by foreign key to the m ain debtor table.
 Don't know if that's possible.

If you're saying that datatypes vary by row in the same table, that's a
definite no no in any database design, more so in anything other than
SQLite since they all have strict typing rules and you will get errors
returned if you try to insert a column with a datatype that is different
than defined in the schema.  You'll need to design your tables so that any
given column in a table will always have the same datatype.  If I
understand your email correctly, sounds like there should at least be
separate asset and debt tables.

OMG. You have that many fields in *one* table? I think you need a
serious database redesign. Or "design", since it sounds like it was
never really designed in the first place. Come up with a database
schema, split the data into component tables, and this will all become
much easier.

I've seen 'larger than 100%' fonts cause problems in a lot of different windows 
dev apps - I'm glad you found the problem!

Not sure why it would not show when modeless, so if you haven't logged a bug in 
RQCC, I'd suggest logging it.

Storing a great many fields in a database

[Dr. Hawkins]

Currently I'm using the included SQLite while I'm figuring the whole
program out, but to stay ahead of the competition, I need to be able
to store in the cloud (particularly, for attorneys to use "virtual
assistants" in other parts of the countries, and to access files by
iPad in court).

Anyway, SQLite cheerfully ignores the data type entirely.

I assume that I'll stay compatible with both mySQL and postgreSQL, but
that's where the issue is.

I have a great many fields that provide the description of the debtor
(it's a bankruptcy program).  At the moment, there are 276 of them
(and will probably be about 400 when complete).  Most of these are
money values (decimal(12,2)).  A handful are boolean, and the rest
text ranging from 1 to 200 characters.

I need to be able to access them by name, so currently there is a
keyword for each, and three different values for each one(a default,
an override, and the actual value).

I've been happily assigning data types in a custom property field, and
even fixed them up today.  And then it occurred to me that I don't get
to specify a different data type by row . . . (I have debt and asset
information with a great many per debt, so that goes in a different
table).

Given that the "norm" will probably be a remote rather than local
database server, what is the best way for me to structure the table?
My 200 character upper limit seems to suggest that blobs would be
overkill, but allocating three 200 character strings per entry seems
like serious overkill--or is it?

I could have 400 columns, I suppose, with three rows (for each of
those values)--but isn't this going to slow down the server?

Or split it into two tables, and let my get/set functions figure out
which to use, one for currency values, and the other for everything
else?

Or will the minimum row size mean that at 200 characters each, it just
doesn't matter anyway?

Right there is the reason I can't justify doing this over other externals. I 
could probably have this done for you by the end of the week but there's really 
probably only a handful of lc developers trying to tackle sandboxing at the 
moment and of them how many will decide to take the rant on the dev list 
approach rather than buy the external. Ive been here before with mergXattr 
which as far as I know resulted in 0 sales but I implemented because someone 
was getting rejected from the app store.

Re: mergExt pricing changes and free externals

[Monte Goulding]

Hi Peter

I believe OS x toolbars are under development by Seao Sean at the moment. Ill 
try and make contact with him to see if he would like help taking his externals 
to market. 

I would think much of the address book access from ios would be the same on OS 
X so it may be possible to convince runrev to include it on desktop.

For SQLite I'm going to ask runrev to open source or at least provide access to 
source for all their externals. I believe this would be allow myself and others 
a chance to learn some tricks of the trade that runrev don't have time to 
document. It would also allow (depending on licensing) custom versions to be 
released.

The sandboxing stuff would appear to be an obvious one for the engine and given 
it would probably take someone like mark waddingham all of an hour to implement 
I would expect runrev to pick up on this. Have a few good rants about it on the 
dev list (usually works for me).

So... It sounds like I've talked myself out of everything you wanted but I need 
to consider these things as there just isn't room to compete in the livecode 
marketplace.

Cheers

Re: mergExt pricing changes and free externals

[Andrew Henshaw]

It may not be complicated (to you!) but its a huge hole in Livecode for me at 
the moment!

Ive stopped writing for the Mac App Store as its impossible to access files 
outside of the sandbox without the security scoped bookmarks,  if an external 
existed that allowed it (even though it should be in the main livecode product 
imo) that would be amazing.

I use a couple of externals already to validate the MAS reciepts,  and provide 
the interface to the Intel App Up store,  but any other externals that opened 
up access to more stores would be good.

Other externals that would be nice on the desktop right now for me would 
include...

- Dropbox (as previous mentioned),  because its a real pain inside a mac 
sandboxed app to use from Livecode otherwise!
- A barcode scanner that could use the macs camera
- Touch screen support for Windows 8.

I really hope this works out for you Monte.  Livecode has grown to be a genuine 
option for mobile development now,  and your tools absolutely,  and without any 
doubt in my mind fill in the missing gaps and extend the functionality 
immensely.

Good luck with it all!

Andy

This is a stack that The RunRev IDE always attaches to your

paste stuff got removed from there. Or it was an engine feature,
that they removed. Either way, it's gone, and no standalone can do
copy paste anymore if you do not include your own code to do it.


Thank you much Björnke for this information

Bad news for me :-(( That means that I can't consider any change to
my current standalone!


There were some changes made in the engine to allow additional menu item 
parameters, but the command keys should still work. If they don't, try 
changing your menu group into a shared card group instead of a 
background group. That way they are more likely to receive keyboard input.


If that still doesn't work, the handler to catch copy/paste is very simple:

on commandkeyDown pKey
  switch pKey
case "x"
  cut
  break
case "v"
  paste
  break
case "c"
  copy
  break
case "z"
  undo
  break
default
  pass commandKeyDown

There's a corollary: if you step into a call to a rev library, it won't

Re: mergExt pricing changes and free externals

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Monte,
Here's some thoughts on what I would like to see.

As a generic category, anything that makes my Mac applications look like
real Mac applications, i.e. access to the more recent native OS X controls.
 In particular, the ability to include icons/buttons/etc in a window title
bar - I think it's referred to as a toolbar.  Another one would be direct
access to the Mac Address Book.

I've seen the beginnings of both the above by others but they never seem to
quite make it to market.

Another category would be access to some of the sqlite functions that
RunRev do not expose to us and, in fact, the ability to access a more
recent version of the sqlite library than is included in RunRev, which is
woefully out of date.  But that's probably a bit too specialized for
general use.

One other that comes to mind is tools to help with Apple's sandboxing
rules. For example, apps that open files from a "Recently used" list
violate the sandboxing rules unless it is done by establishing "bookmarks",
wehich can't be done directly from Livecode.  I believe, but not 100% sure,
that any attempt to use the shell command in Livecode would violate
sandboxing rules.  Of course, that covers a huge amount of ground but
perhaps a set of common os request that LC developers use could be a basis.

If you didn't get your order (yet), contact me directly.

Some orders got kicked out because of key information missing or fraudulent

garbage text into any fields then it got deleted.

Anyone on this list though, if you felt you got deleted unfairly as a result

Well and true.

Notwithstanding that, my grandfather, Dr Richmond McIntosh (M.D.) was
bothe real medical doctor (i.e. not just an M. B.) and contributed to 
knowldge (search for his stuff

in the BMJ on the internet).

I answer to so many different things these days . . .  Richard, Rick,
hawk, doc, dochawk (usually only by reference or in the program name
[which picked it up as a reference and it stuck])

Now that I think of it, I think that more people just plain call me
"doc" than anything else (which is kind of odd, as I've never
introduced myself as that; I think I can trace almost all of it to a
single introduction someone made about three years ago in which he
introduced me as "Dr. Hawkins"

Yes, but seeing how I got there . . . single stepping in card

preOpenStack, which dumped me  in -> some other handler.

Since I was already single-stepping, this is highly unexpected behavior . . .

Thank you much Björnke for this information

Bad news for me :-((
That means that I can't consider any change to my current standalone!

The friend for which I made this app. is a physician ; he is using it daily for 
5 or 6 years now and he has something like 600 medical files (one stack per 
patient)!!
Fortunately, the standalone I made with a previous version allows copy-paste 
(that he is using a lot) 

Well, I will see what I could do in case a new standalone would be necessary!

Thanks again Björnke

Re: ios options to create time-based reminders or messages

Thanks. Seems this functionality is new to LC 5.5. I have 5.0.2 right

Re: ios options to create time-based reminders or messages

Thanks. I'm looking into this.

At first glance, it appears that... whenever the app is not running... 
this method will only tell the user that a local notification is waiting 
to be viewed. It cannot display the actual message until the user 
presses the "View" button, which then opens the app to display the 
message. Do I understand this correctly?


Thanks.

Try local notifications. This is how you set up one notification:

mobileCreateLocalNotification alertBody, alertButtonMessage, alertPayload, 
alertTime, playSound

alertTime is the Unix time that you want the alert to happen. See the help 
entry for more details on the other things.

At the time that the notification happens, the user will see a message pop up 
on their screen. If they touch the message it will open your app, and a message 
is sent to you. Here's a handler for receiving that message:

on localNotificationReceived pMsg
answer "Local Notification:" && pMsg
end localNotificationReceived

The pMsg received is the same as the alertPayload sent in, and that can be as 
complex as you like.

There isn't a way to have a notification happen that automatically opens your 
app.

Working out the Unix time for the event is an entertaining little aspect to the 
problem.

At the time that the notification happens, the user will see a message pop up 
on their screen. If they touch the message it will open your app, and a message 
is sent to you. Here's a handler for receiving that message:

on localNotificationReceived pMsg
   answer "Local Notification:" && pMsg
end localNotificationReceived

The pMsg received is the same as the alertPayload sent in, and that can be as 
complex as you like.

There isn't a way to have a notification happen that automatically opens your 
app.

Working out the Unix time for the event is an entertaining little aspect to the 
problem.

Re: ios options to create time-based reminders or messages

[Charles E Buchwald]

Check out local notifications, in the iOS release notes, for alarm clock like 
alarms and messages. Push notifications are non-trivial. SMS would require a 
connection.

ios options to create time-based reminders or messages

[Richard Miller]

What are the options to implement a reminder system in an ios/LC app 
which will alert the user periodically on their ios device, even though 
the app is not running in the foreground?


For example, the user runs the app and sets it to remind them twice 
daily to do a specific task. How can this reminder be implemented?


Some ideas:

- push notification (is this fairly easy to implement?)
- having an external server send SMS messages to the user's device on 
the specified time interval
- something similar to the way various ios Alarm clock apps work... but 
I don't know if this can be implemented through LC.


Thanks.
Richard Miller

Re: copy-paste not working in a standalone

[Björnke von Gierke]

I think that copy pasted used to be part of the "standard library". This is a 
stack that The RunRev IDE always attaches to your standalones. However, in a 
version (4.5 or 5.1 or so) all copy paste stuff got removed from there. Or it 
was an engine feature, that they removed. Either way, it's gone, and no 
standalone can do copy paste anymore if you do not include your own code to do 
it.

Re: Lessons learned on my Mobile Journey

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Roger,

I'm just using the URL Google provides for each sheet which is shown when
you Publish a sheet. You can select CSV as the 'type' and which sheet you
want the URL for-- and Google generates the URL.

Then you just get the URL:

get URL "http://googlespreadheets.com/yada/yada"; and it's returned as CSV.

I'm not POSTING data to the sheet, just reading from it.

Yep, I need to get the resize LIB completed-- will be working on it soon.
Tonight I finished rebuilding altButton so it now uses images instead of
btn icons-- so now EVERYTHING scales-- Hurray!

Re: copy-paste not working in a standalone

[André Bisseret]

I don't think my problem with copy-paste come from the stack I am saving as a 
standalone ; there is only a few lines in it (to get it slowly disappearing and 
opening my main stack ; that works well for years now.

I will contact runrev

Best regards
