On second thought, I think that's not quite right. Your library will get 
the message whenever any stack opens, but you're right it will be after 
your working stack finishes opening.


To load your library whenever the IDE opens, put the start using command 
into a preOpenstack handler in the library stack. Then when the IDE 
opens it, it should execute. If you do it that way, you won't need to 
use revPreOpenstack at all. I just looked at one of my library stacks 
(which I should have done before,) and I have a preOpenstack handler in 
the first card (so it won't interfere with anything else.) It starts up 
and gets used every time the IDE launches.

Even when I set it up as you suggested, the lib stack is not available
during the apps openCard script. The revopenstack message to the plug-in is
behind the stack and card open/preopen messages of the app. Interestingly
enough if I put an answer dialog in the openstack handler of the app the lib
is available after I hit OK. Take out the answer dialog and the lib is not
available until all the opens and propens are complete. Is this just the way
the messages path crumbles? Or am I missing something? I will just put a
"start using" in the apps preopen. That will fix it.


The "revPreOpenstack" message will be sent to your library stack when 
the IDE opens it immediately after startup. Your library should have a 
"revPreOpenstack" handler that just puts its stack in use, so it should 
already be available by the time your working stack opens. Did you 
restart LiveCode? That's when the IDE will load your library. If 
something else is going on (I'm a little confused about what's happening 
exactly) then just specifically putting it in use is fine too.


The plugin setup, of course, is an IDE-only thing. It won't work that 
way in a standalone.




On the mobile front I trying to avoid putting MY_library.livecode as a copy
file because that exposes my code (and encryption method) to prying eyes.
The app stack seems to be buried and compressed somewhere in the apk and not
easy to expose. Any Ideas on this


Password protect the stack, which will hide its code. File inclusions 
are tucked into the apk too, so they won't be hanging around loose 
somewhere anyway. Of course, it isn't hard to undo an apk and see the 
files inside, but if your stacks are passworded then no one can read them.

Re: How to tell when a datagrid column has been resized

[Pete]

There's a mouseUp handler in the default header behavior script for a
datagrid that looks like this:

*on* mouseUp pMouseBtnNum

   *if* pMouseBtnNum is 1 and not the dgHeaderColumnIsBeingResized of
thedgHeader
of me *then*

  *## Change the sort of the column*

  *## _HeaderToggleSortOfColumn is a helper that resizes in the parent
group script.*

  *## It toggles the sort of the column based on current state of
column.*

  _HeaderToggleSortOfColumn the dgColumn of me

   *end* *if*

   *pass* mouseUp

*end* mouseUp


You might be able to figure something out from that.  For example , set the
default header behavior script to your own copy of it and then if
the dgHeaderColumnIsBeingResized property is true, do whatever it is you
need to do.

Never mind. I figured out a way. I just put a handler for getprop dgColumnWidth 
[pColumn] in the script of the datagrid and then pass it when through. I think 
I was hoping for some kind of message to get sent when the resize was FINISHED. 
This gets sent when a column resize is in progress, even if the column is not 
changing in size at the time. As long as the mouse is down on the column 
divider, it keeps triggering. It feels dirty somehow, like I ought to be trying 
to be more efficient, and can't be. 

Oh well. I have CPU cycles to spare I guess...

Re: Option Menu Question

[Pete]

I think I have found a way to do this without using multiple controls.

I have a preOpenCard handler like this:

on preOpenCard
   set the text of button "myMenu" to "Select an option..."
   set the textColor of myMenu to "#66" --makes the text grey
end preOpenCard

I put the following mouseDown handler into the option menu script.

*on* mouseDown

   *set* the text of me to the textOptions of me

   *set* the textColor of me to black

*end* mouseDown


The textOption custom property contains the real options for the menu.
 I'll probably put the initial prompt text into a custom property too so
it's more general purpose - will also make it easier to check if the user
selected an option or not.


That seems to work just fine but there may be some corner cases I haven't
tested.

How to tell when a datagrid column has been resized

Hi all. I have read up on all the lessons that might help, as well as searched 
the datagrid library, and I cannot find anyplace where a message gets sent when 
a column has been resized. I would like to trap that message so the next time 
around I can set up the datagrid the way it was last. Any ideas?

Instead, go the Plugins Settings in the Development->Plugins menu. 
Select your library stack from the popdown. Set it to open when 
"Revolution starts up". In the list at the right, select the line 
"revPreOpenStack".

Then in your library stack, change your preOpenStack handler to a 
"revPreOpenstack" handler.

LiveCode will now automatically open your stack at every launch, and 
send a "revPreOpenstack" message to it. The library will load whenever 
the IDE opens.

I'd think that should work, but mobile may not be interpreting the file 
locations the same way as the desktop apps do. On mobile, many of the 
file folders are virtual.

Instead of including it in the stacks pane, try including it in the Copy 
Files pane. The stack will be copied to the same folder as the engine in 
your mobile standalone. You can refer to it in your scripts with an 
engine-relative file path, and start using that:

   put specialFolderPath("engine") & "/EIS_Library.livecode" into tPath
   start using stack tPath

Untested, but should work.

Re: Option Menu Question

Hi Craig,

I put a field on top of the option menu button and send the message to the 
underlying option menu button, which shows the popup menu button, or you can do 
it all directly from the field. The script in the popup menu button can put the 
picked item into the field.

I  prepended "(" to a menuItem in an option menu, but this only greys out that

Re: Function to Upper and Lower Case sentences

I tinkered with this a little bit last night because I thought a regex 
solution would work, but my skills aren't good enough. So I ended up 
with something similar to what you've already done.



#I think there is a better trim leading/trailing space function I saw
years ago...


I think you're looking for:

 put word 1 to -1 of aSentence into aSentence



replace "!" with "! " in aSentence

# doesn't help unless next word is in my dictionary.
# so I need something to "see" exclamation marks as delimiters, not sure
# how to tackle that if dot is already set as delimiter


I tried using tokens instead of words, which avoids a lot of the problem.



function capitalizeWords theWord
put "ganesha, pancha, gurudeva!,gurudev!,Satguru, ganapathi, ganapati,
yogaswami, siva, shiva, muruga, bodhinatha,lord, nataraja, aum" into
tCapsDictionary

set the itemdel to comma

if tCapsDictionary contains theWord then

--if theWord is among the items of tCapsDictionary
## doesn't work; dunno why...
# so I used "contains"


The reason it fails is due to the spaces in the comma-delimited 
dictionary string. "Among the items of" looks for exact matches, and so 
won't match a word without a leading space. Remove the spaces from the 
dictionary list and it works.


Here is what I ended up with, but there are still problems with it. It 
doesn't account for all possibilities, but it's a start:


on mouseUp
  local tNewSentence
  put the clipboarddata["text"] into tInput

  set the linedel to "."
  repeat for each line aSentence in tInput
put toLower(word 1 to -1 of aSentence) into aSentence -- the shortcut
put toUpper(char 1 of aSentence) into char 1 of aSentence
repeat for each token theWord in aSentence
  if len(theWord) = 1 and charToNum(theWord) < 65 then -- punctuation
if theWord is in "(<{[" then
  put space & theWord after tNewSentence
else
  put theWord & space into last char of tNewSentence
end if
  else -- real words
put capitalizeWords(theWord) into tWord
put tWord & space after tNewSentence
  end if
end repeat
delete char -1 of tNewSentence -- can incorrectly delete; probably 
should data-check it

put tNewSentence &". " after tOutPut
put empty into tNewSentence
  end repeat
  if char 1 of tOutput = "." then delete char 1 of tOutput
  set the clipboarddata["text"] to tOutput
  put tOutput
end mouseUp

function capitalizeWords theWord
  put 
"ganesha,pancha,gurudeva!,gurudev!,Satguru,ganapathi,ganapati,yogaswami,siva,shiva,muruga,bodhinatha,lord,nataraja,aum" 
into tCapsDictionary

  if theWord is among the items of tCapsDictionary then
put toUpper(char 1 of theWord) into char 1 of theWord
  end if
  return theWord
end capitalizeWords

I still think it could be done with regex in way fewer lines...

Re: Is Control a DataGrid

[Pete]

Hi Todd,
If your code might go out into the wild, I think the dgProps["control
type"] property I mentioned might be slightly safer than using the
dgcontrol property, just because it's highly unlikely anyone would have a
dgProps custom property set outside of a datagrid whereas it's not
inconceivable that might have dgcontrol property in the default custom keys
property set.

Re: File time off by an hour...

[Keith (Gulf Breeze Ortho Lab)]

Thanks Bernard. I put together some code that will work for practical 
purposes (i.e., utilizing internet time and time zone), but it's still not a 
perfect solution. For now, I will just list the file dates without times...

Subject: Re: File time off by an hour...

Keith,

It seems this issue has come up with Windows and other programming
languages (included those supplied by Microsoft!)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4605983/io-file-getlastaccesstime-is-off-by-one-hour

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6009902/different-timestamps-under-winxp-win7-and-vb-net

In one of the above examples, the user is on CST (maybe that is a factor).

There have been discussions on the list before about converting
date-times between seconds and e.g. internet time.  Instead of using
the short date & time, why don't you run through your file list, and
convert the file time into a list of values, e.g. short date and time,
internet date, etc.  You may find with one of them the difference
disappears.

Also, you could try setting the useSystemDate to true v. false, and
see what you get.

This is a tricky area (really we should all just be on GMT!), as
evinced by the two discussions above from Stack Overflow.

This makes it only available if you open LC first THEN open your app stack.
If LC is closed and you click on a app stack the library is not available.
This was easily fixed by putting 'start using stack "EIS_Library"' in the
preOpenStack in the app stack.


Instead, go the Plugins Settings in the Development->Plugins menu. 
Select your library stack from the popdown. Set it to open when 
"Revolution starts up". In the list at the right, select the line 
"revPreOpenStack".


Then in your library stack, change your preOpenStack handler to a 
"revPreOpenstack" handler.


LiveCode will now automatically open your stack at every launch, and 
send a "revPreOpenstack" message to it. The library will load whenever 
the IDE opens.




I can't get the 'start using stack "EIS_Library"' to work on Android. I
included the library stack in the standalone application setting in the
stacks tab. This also makes it appear in the property inspector "stack
files" when inspecting the main app stack.

I'd think that should work, but mobile may not be interpreting the file 
locations the same way as the desktop apps do. On mobile, many of the 
file folders are virtual.


Instead of including it in the stacks pane, try including it in the Copy 
Files pane. The stack will be copied to the same folder as the engine in 
your mobile standalone. You can refer to it in your scripts with an 
engine-relative file path, and start using that:


  put specialFolderPath("engine") & "/EIS_Library.livecode" into tPath
  start using stack tPath

Untested, but should work.

Should it? The same thing works fine in the IDE. But when run in the
simulator or on a device the text is not styled. I did just try using
Helvetica instead of Arial and that seems to work okay.
Unfortunately, I need Arial and not Helvetica.



I vaguely recall something similar happening to me. What I think is going on is 
that iOS won't generate fake styles like bold and italic; it will only use 
fonts that have separate style faces in the font family. I haven't tried it, 
but it might work to set the font name rather than the style:

Howdy! Howare  you today?

Hi Chris,

Read the file as binary, e.g. into variable myVar and then convert it with

put uniDecode(uniEncode(myVar,"UTF8")) into myVar

Now you can load the XML tree that's in myVar or parse it as standard ASCII 
text.

Library Stack and Mobile

I know this have been visited and read the forums, but still can't get
library stack to work on mobile. I am testing on Android but will also be
deploying to iOS.

I put the library stack into the plug-in folder with a

If LC is closed and you click on a app stack the library is not available.
This was easily fixed by putting 'start using stack "EIS_Library"' in the
preOpenStack in the app stack.

I can't get the 'start using stack "EIS_Library"' to work on Android. I
included the library stack in the standalone application setting in the
stacks tab. This also makes it appear in the property inspector "stack
files" when inspecting the main app stack.

I hit the test button to the test on the device and the "start using stack
"EIS_Library" throws an error.

Am I missing something?

Re: is among the words AND find words

Drat, I had a function that did this very thing, but I replaced it with the

worked with sqLite.

iOS and xml: I don't understand unicode...

[Chris Sheffield]

I need help. In more ways than one, but that's beside the point...

I have a utf-8 encoded xml file that I'm reading data from for display in a 
text field. Everything seems to work just fine except for certain unicode 
characters, such as the em dash ("—"). When I read in the text and then set the 
htmlText property of the field, those characters are getting garbled. Am I just 
not understanding how unicode works? Do I need to do something special to make 
these characters appear correctly?

What's strange is I can get that same character by using numToChar(209) in the 
LiveCode message box, but the character that is in my file does not seem to be 
the same one, even though on screen it looks identical. If I test it with 
something like:

if numToChar(209) is in myText then

it returns false. I'm stumped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Certainly very difficult but not impossible.  See the 'Touching the iPad'

In my book, Lynda.com is the standard for setting up online training

Open the sqLite_master table. In it you will find a column called SQL with

You can also check the dgProps["control type"].  For datagrids, this is set

Re: is among the words AND find words

[Jim Hurley]

Dave,

Ah! Those mighty regular expressions. Sm day I'll have to study up on them.

Yes that works very nicely. 

The other method (one that I understand ;) ) now boils down to this:

on mouseUp
   put field 1 into tText
   put containsWord("time", tText)
end mouseUp

function containsWord tWord, tList
   replace quote with "" in tList
   replace "." with "" in tList
   return tWord is among the tokens of tList
end containsWord

Re: is among the words AND find words

[Jim Hurley]

Very good Hugh. This adds another level of versatility, first by the addition 
of a "rule" and then by returning a word count.

You are right about what constitutes a word. That is what is nice about having 
a "rule".

BTW: The previous "token" method can be changed into a count by replacing this 
code

repeat for each item tWordNum in tNums
 put word tWordNum of tList into tTestWord  
if tWord is among the tokens of tTestWord then return true   
end repeat
   --If all the tests fail, then return false
 return false

With the following:

put 0 into tCount
repeat for each item tWordNum in tNums
 put word tWordNum of tList into tTestWord  
if tWord is among the tokens of tTestWord then add 1 to tCount  
end repeat
return tCount

Airplay/AppleTV doesn't get you much in this area.  You still need a way to
capture the HDMI coming off the AppleTV.  AppleTV is nothing more than an
expensive invisible HDMI cable.  You are still going to need something that
can capture HMDI video. This is something that is not built into any mac or
pc that I know about.  You are going to need some hardware.

RE: revAndroidPlugin and the Android SDK

[Ralph DiMola]

Sorry, I did not mention that I can Build and test for Android with no
problems. I did Check my SDK prefs for both IOS and Android. And re-did the
Android prefs and LC did not complain when I pointed to the Android SDK
folder. When I open the revANdroidPlugin it immediately opens a dialog and
asks me for the Android SDK folder and when I point to the same one the LC
main prefs liked the plug-in tells me: "That is not a usable SDK root:
missing aapt tool, make sure your SDK install has not been corrupted". Is
this the same problem that LC proper had when the SDK upgraded to I think
v12 and LC had to adjust their validation technique?

Dates displayed for On-Rev Server files

[Francis Nugent Dixon]

Hi from Beautiful Brittany,

I upload files to my on-Rev server, and note a time
difference of - 7 hours against my French time.
I assume that this is a US East-Coast time zone.

This is only a very, very minor bitch, but is there a
way of getting the server to display my time-zone values ?

Can I read back the contents of my server ?

I would be interested in writing a LiveCode stack checking
out my site files on my computer against my files on my
server, to see if they are in sync.

Has anybody done anything like this ?

TIA

-Francis

Re: is among the words AND find words

[Dave Cragg]

Late to the thread.

If the purpose is just to see whether the word exists in a string, would this 
work (using regular expressions)?

on mouseUp
   put "Some timely text with time, and more." into tString
   put "time" into tTarget
   put containsWord(tTarget, tString) 
end mouseUp

function containsWord tWord, tString
   put "(?i)\b" & tWord & "\b" into tRE
   return matchText(tString, tRE)
end containsWord

"\b" is the regular expression "word boundary" pattern. 
"(?i)" makes the match case insensitive.

Cheers

Re: File time off by an hour...

[Bernard Devlin]

Keith,

It seems this issue has come up with Windows and other programming
languages (included those supplied by Microsoft!)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4605983/io-file-getlastaccesstime-is-off-by-one-hour

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6009902/different-timestamps-under-winxp-win7-and-vb-net

In one of the above examples, the user is on CST (maybe that is a factor).

There have been discussions on the list before about converting
date-times between seconds and e.g. internet time.  Instead of using
the short date & time, why don't you run through your file list, and
convert the file time into a list of values, e.g. short date and time,
internet date, etc.  You may find with one of them the difference
disappears.

Also, you could try setting the useSystemDate to true v. false, and
see what you get.

This is a tricky area (really we should all just be on GMT!), as
evinced by the two discussions above from Stack Overflow.

There are no iPad screen recording apps yet. Are there?


Screenflow does an excellent job of recording from the Mac screen, and can 
record internal or external audio at the same time.  So if your app produces 
reasonable quality audio through the simulator, this should be a very clean 
capture.


If you can't work with the simulator, I think there is a theoretical route to 
a 'perfect' capture: if you have an iPad2 (I think, or perhaps iPad1) running 
iOS 5, then you can use AirPlay to send both image and sound to an AppleTV 
unit.  Unfortunately the AppleTV only outputs HDMI: there are HDMI digitisers 
but they are quite expensive.  AFAIK there is no current way to receive 
AirPlay video on anything other than an AppleTV unit.

Re: is among the words AND find words

[FlexibleLearning]

Aha. So we are now only testing 'exist', and not the word number? Since I've
already written this, I'll post it anyway...

The problem (as always when this topic is raised) is the definition of a
'word', as indicated by the additional inclusion of 'token' in the language,
and thus the definition of 'punctuation'. I believe LC inherited the
definition of a 'word' from HyperCard for compatibility.

Is $10 one word or two?
Is my_Var one word or two?
Is half-baked one word or two?
Do the same rules apply across non-English languages? And unicode langauges?

Perhaps there is no single definition and some modifiers are needed such as
'strict'...

on mouseUp
  put findWord(fld 1,"men","strict")
end mouseUp

function findWord pContent,pStr,pRule
  if pRule="strict" then
put COMMA"E&TAB&CR&":;'." into tPunctuation
  else
--| Adjust according to requirements...
put COMMA"E&TAB&CR&":;'.^&*()_-+={}[]@~#<>/|\!?" into tPunctuation
  end if
  repeat for each char L in tPunctuation
replace L with SPACE in pContent

  if pStr is among the words of pContent then

This tests the whole text; it is not necessary to test each string

But remove the quotes and periods first.
