Richard:

Hmmm, this could be really useful

a whole responsive palette of control on the side of a card, (instead of a 
separate palette stack) while continuing to dev in the main region.  useful for 
dev.

In fact doesn't  this solve  a core UX, that is not "ancient"by any means?:

A drawing region with controls on the side/bottom. and all you have to do is 
turn on the pointer. (having preset all the other controls to 
cantSelect/AlwaysBrowseMode.)

I actually have a use case for this right in front of me if it works on Mobile.

"CantSelect" is a very Raney name; "AlwaysBrowseMode" would be more 
descriptive.

This means your object will get all the messages you'd expect to get 
with the browse tool regardless of the current global tool property, but 
only for that one object.

This can be useful for contexts in which you want to allow the user to 
use the pointer tool, but also provide a toolbar or other controls they 
can use to select shapes, colors, etc.

this is a really useful prop… too bad it is not exposed in the PI

"use case for it" 

OH Boy!  us page lay people lock background objects all the time… once a subset 
of elements are "locked down" design wise.. you don't what them moving about. 
I'll be using this a lot now that I found it…  But I guess the only UI in the 
IDE is to switch to  AB and toggle it in that column… 

that definitely qualifies as "mystery meat UX" 

is there an enhancement request  to expose this in the property inspector for 
all controls?  till then we can add it to a tool set  to toogle cantSelect for 
the selectedObject()

OK - so we're talking about outside the IDE. So the cantSelect property 
comes into play in a standalone app when you select the pointer tool and 
then define the allowable actions.

Aye, there's the rub: the tool's name is "pointer", introduced into our 
family of languages by SuperCard in 1989 and continued into MC when it 
was born in '92.  The name was chosen to reflect the cursor image choice 
that goes with it, a more traditional app-like look from the 
HyperCard-specific browse mode with its hand icon.


Just about any vector layout program (MacDraw, PageMaker, Word, etc.) 
uses a mode like that for selecting, moving, and resizing vector objects.

What is "full edit capability"?

The pointer tool, like any of the tools, is just an interaction mode.

Drawing != development.

MacDraw != MPW.

From the root tongue HyperTalk, through SuperTalk, OMO, Gain, to 
today's LiveCode, xTalks provide a wide range of tools, including 
button, field, browse, and others.


What distinguishes these from development isn't that they're used at 
all, but how.


After all, all code editors are fields, but not all fields are code editors.

Thanks. That makes sense. Kind of like having editable and non-editable

Now you got it.  Having different tools has been useful since 
HyperCard's premier in 1987, and with LC's richer toolset only more so.



Monte's particular use, however, is compromised by not having a true 
cantSelect property, instead getting by with one that's really a 
control-specific tool mode, but limited to only those controls that 
aren't groups and to only one tool, the browse tool:


In the scenario he describes, the presence of an object that spans the 
drawing region but has it's AlwaysBrowse ("cantSelect") set to true 
means that he can't drag across it to marquee-select other objects.


In such a setup (I've made a few myself over the years) you must either 
limit multi-object selections to shift-clicking each one individually, 
or write code that emulates marquee selection in the image object using 
the browse tool.

A little background may be helpful:

Scott Raney added the cantSelect property after a long discussion I had 
with him about building custom drawing environments.


I had originally suggested to him that we extend the tool property to be 
local to groups (similar to the flexibility SuperCard provides with the 
tool being local to a window, years later submitted to RunRev as 
BZ#623)), and he found that interesting but more work than was available 
at that moment in the release cycle.


So instead he came up with the cantSelect property as a workaround to 
tide us over in the meantime.


In addition to what Jacque noted there's something more that can be very 
important in some contexts:


It doesn't just prevent the object from being acted on by the pointer 
tool, but moreover always acts as though its own object-local tool mode 
is the browse tool, regardless of whatever other tool is in effect.


"CantSelect" is a very Raney name; "AlwaysBrowseMode" would be more 
descriptive.


This means your object will get all the messages you'd expect to get 
with the browse tool regardless of the current global tool property, but 
only for that one object.


This can be useful for contexts in which you want to allow the user to 
use the pointer tool, but also provide a toolbar or other controls they 
can use to select shapes, colors, etc.


This seemed like a good idea at the time, but in practice is far more 
tedious to build with than having the non-browse mode local to the 
drawing region group as I'd originally hoped for.  Better than having to 
completely emulate all pointer tool behaviors from scratch in script 
using the browse tool, but still more than I'd wish on a newcomer.


Given the difficulty of attempting to mix tool modes with this property 
in LC, in practice this property is seldom used.


The confusion you reported is something I see almost weekly in the 
forums with this very unusual property.


I'd suggested replacing that in the Project Browser to govern lockLoc 
instead, which is not only far more frequently used but also a much more 
common and anticipatable use of a lock icon.

HTML5 and Post tArgs to URL "http://..." ?

2017-08-27 Thread JOHN PATTEN via use-livecode
Hi All,

I was experimenting with HTML 5 this weekend. I have a script that posts some 
data to a server side .lc script. The script inserts the data into a mySQL 
database.

I get a “-1” javascript error the minute the

post tArgList to URL "http://.on-rev.com/folder/tracker.lc” script runs 
from my html5 stack.

I’m guessing that is something you are not allowed to do in a Livecode HTML5 
stack?

Thank you!

 I think that may be better.
  

  
Since JavaScript doesn't preserve pre-sort order, I think additional 
comparisons are needed to maintain the alpha sort.
  

  
While we can use a trailing "\b" to match word ending (makes exact word be 
prioritized), using something like a quote character may be "easier" (replace " 
with \b in the regex) to allow exact match searches.

I have used cantSelect before to stop selection of a background image that has 
lots of objects on top. It means you can drag select them and won’t 
accidentally click-drag and move your background. It’s better than lockLocation 
because of drag-select.

If you had an inspector open on the selected control and toggled cantSelect and 
boom it disappeared because the selected object wasn’t selected would you 
report that as a bug? That’s why it’s not on the inspector. Mind you it might 
be feasible to switch the inspector to locked on object mode at that point...

Hmm… it does appear it does allow it… perhaps the select command works

 I've been working on the dictionary and would like to improve it even more.
Changes to the selection logic will probably need concurrence from the LC 
folks.Right now the search is performed on the name and the syntax.
Priority is given to terms that match the start of a word.Multiple words 
are currently supported (space delimited, treated as AND).See bug report 
20289 (specifically for "me" being difficult to find).
 

 
Maybe the dictionary should default to a "definition" with some hints on 
searching.
 

 
 

 
TinyDict is much more space efficient and will probably remain so unless the 
built in dictionary is replaced.I do believe that the functionality of the 
built in one can be made pretty close (exception possibly being the search of 
multiple dictionaries at once).It already is more powerful since full RegEx 
is supported in the search field (admittedly limited to advanced users).
 
 Thanks,  
Brian

CantSelect disallows selection by the edit tool, mostly used in 
development, but doesn't change the message path.

LSON is binary, so set headers accordingly.  When in doubt, base64.

I have two systems that use LSON almost exclusively to move data back 
and forth between the client and server.  It's a great format, almost 
like BSON but simpler, and more compact than JSON.  Too bad LC is the 
only program that uses it.  But when you have LC on both ends, it's 
pretty sweet.

Yes, Tiny Dictionary is brilliant. But does it integrate with the script 
editor yet? Will new users know they should download a third party solution 
to get a fully functional dictionary?


I can usually find what I need because I know most of the terminology but 
others won't.
