Like textFont and other attributes, tabStops can be applied to the field, or a paragraph within the field (v5.4 or later). So you should be able to get the tabstops of fld 2, put the text after fld 1, and then set the tabstops of the newly-added lines to the tabstops you'd obtained from fld 2. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I don't think "occlude" means what you think it means. See H.W. Fowler, "Dictionary of Modern English Usage", section "Love of the long word". But seriously. I love that book. It's a hoot. (His chapter on split infinitives is even better.) 2. Did you read the Release Notes? This is a known issue, in development but not worth holding up other critical things folks are demanding. As it is for this preview release, the Dict opens in a separate window, much as it does in the IDE. That the window happens to be a separate process is a minor annoyance, and likely to few. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Data grid : show an button in a column only if there is an email in other column
I believe this works this way because the fillInData message gets sent to the row group that is currently getting updated. Because of this, "me" refers to the current row group, nd btn "sendmail" of me refers to the specific instance of button "sendmail" in that group. Otherwise btn "sendmail" would simply refer to the first (of many) buttons named "sendmail".

Re: How to IMPORT CONTACTS and GPS location
Take a look at mobileFindContact, mobileGetContact etc (search for contact) in the dictionary… Remember though that you will get a dialog asking the user for permission and if they reject you will not be able to grab anything! GPS is a system with satellites that your device can use to pin-point where it is on the globe (Global Positioning System), but I guess that you are asking for some geolocation based on an address. And yes you can do that via Google or any other provider of a map API. Do read the licensing careful as Google has limitations on how you can use the service and how much you need to pay (if you do a lot of lookups). To use The Google api you first need to get an API key. You then need to send that key together with every request: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=empire+state+building+new+york&key=YOUR_API_KEY Another alternative is to use Open Street map. Take a look at: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim But if you are in a hurry the syntax is something like: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/?format=json&addressdetails=1&q=empire+state+building+new+york&format=json&limit=1 So to use that in your LiveCode application you can do function nomatimLookup pQuery put "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/?format=json&addressdetails=1&format=json&limit=1&q="; into tURL put textEncode(pQuery,"utf8") into pQuery replace space with "+" in pQuery put pQuery after tURL put url tURL into tResult return JSONToArray(tResult) // or jsonImport(tResult) end nomatimLookup This will return an array with data about the address and among those fields you find "lat" and "lon" for latitude and longitude if that was your GPS question... But before you start using it, also take a look at the usage policy for the api: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/ and especially the requirements section! There are a lot of other api providers that you can use also, depending on your need. But this will hopefully get you started... Good Luck!

add file extension share for iOS app
Hi, i don´t know if it is the correct expression in the topic. I need the possibility to share an email attachment on iOS with my iOS app. I want to be able to open a .txt file received by email on iOS with my installed app. Is there a way to do this with LC. Do i have to edit the plist file manually after creating the iOS app? And how does the app then takes notice of the file when the app is opened?
