iOS print external problem
Has anyone else found that the iOs HardCopy external has a problem dealing with two-sided printing? When two or more pages are printed from my iPad 2, it always prints two-sided to a two-sided capable printer even when the option is turned off in the pop-up dialog. Who is the author of the external or who could I contact for followup? ___ 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: standalone not quitting on Win7
Hi, The wait command blocks all other handlers and hence has no effect. Maybe you mean wait 1 with messages, but I don't think it matters. You can ignore the wait command. Also, I wouldn't put the quit command in the closeStack handler but in the closeStackRequest handler because the closeStack handler can't prevent a stack from closing but the closeStackRequest handler can. I wrote my script specifically because a simple quit command wouldn't do. Windows standalones tend to remain in memory if an external or database driver is still running or if a window wasn't closed and there are versions of Revolution (and maybe LiveCode but I wouldn't know because I always use my script) that crash if the quit command is executed while a backdrop is active. Usually, I don't run my script inside a closeStack(Request) handler. I have a separate handler for it, which I call from the quit menu item on Windows and from the shutdownRequest handler on Mac OS X. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/1bq Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!

Re: OT Password protection of RR server?
Mark, I finally got my password for cPanel from Heather and I plunged into password protecting a web page. Or so I thought. I assumed that a web address was a directory and I thought I was protecting a web page but turned out locking up much more. There is still one folder jamesphurley.com/District3 that I am locked out of. Is there a way in cPanel to unprotect a page? (It would be helpful to include this kind of info in the help link. Not any time soon, I afraid. I suspect that RR is bitten off more than they are able to chew at the moment. Witness the downtime on Rev OnLine User Samples.) Also, the page I use for my neighborhood association is lvrmna.on-rev.comAt one point everyone in the neighborhood was locked out of that site due to a password protection I didn't realize I was making. Very embarrassing. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I recall in the beginning that my deal with RR was a web presence with the url jamesphurley.on-rev.com (I own a domain name jamesphurley.com) which they were able to shorten for me to jamesphurley.com. Is this just an alias for jamesphurley.on-rev.com? Is it possible through cPanel to shorten lvrmna.on-rev.com to simply lvrmna.com? I hate this stuff. I have no idea what's going on under the hood.

Re: color picker in IOS

I may be wrong, but I don't think those conversions are available built-in. I'm sure functions have been written to do this many times, but it's not trivial to do from scratch. If you can get one, then the following code will still work - It'll just work better. (Replace the r, g, b variable names with the appropriate letters for clarity.) Depending on your use case, you may not need to be that human-accurate, in which case you can do the same calculation in RGB space. The square root calculation in your two solutions is a way to get the distance between any two points in three dimensional space. All three color formats have three values, so they can all be pictured as a cube of space with colors as points within that space. Your starting color is in there too, and you just have to check the distance from it to all the other color points, and return the shortest. I'm typing this in a mail program, so it is untested... function Distance3D( x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2 ) return sqrt( (x1-x2)*(x1-x2) + (y1-y2)*(y1-y2) + (z1-z2)*(z1-z2) ) end Distance3D function GetClosestColor( r, g, b ) put 9 into ClosestDist put r , g , b into ClosestColor repeat for each line c of gColorList get Distance3D( r, g, b, item 1 of c, item 2 of c, item 3 of c ) if it ClosestDist then put it into ClosestDist put c into ClosestColor end if end repeat return ClosestColor end GetClosestColor You'd have your colors in gColorList like this: 32,32,128 255,255,255 0,0,0 128,128,256 (etc) ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 1:13 PM, Michael Doub m...@doub.com wrote: I have a list of RGB colors that represent different color samples.

Neither are not intuitively obvious to the casual observer...namely me. ;-) 1) Convert RGB to CIE Lab color space, then compute the distance in that space ( deltaE = sqrt(deltaL^2 + deltaA^2 + deltaB^2). Colors with the lowest deltaE are the most perceptually similar to each other. 2) Convert to RGB to HSL and consider an HSL color value a vector and define a weighted modulus function for the vector like this: modulus = sqrt(a*H1*H1 + b*S1*S1 + c*L1*L1); where a,b,c are weights you should decide based on your visual definition of what creates a bigger difference in perceived color - a 1% change in Hue or a 1% change in Saturation. I would suggest you use a = b = 0.5 and c = 1 Finally, find out the range your modulus would take and define similar colors to be those which have their moduli very close to each other (say 5%) Regards, Mike ___ 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 ___ 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 ___ 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 ___ 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

HI Mark, I guess it's a case of once bitten, twice shy.

I'm building menus that will be displayed in the OS X menu bar, not within my stacks, so there is no need to move controls anywhere.

SQL Date Formatting
Hi all. I am having F-I-TZ working with dates in mySQL. I WANT to store the dates as real dates, but mySQL formats them as -mm-dd. Livecode does no such thing and nothing I know how to do can get Livecode to work with dates in this format AS dates. It's no good for my present purposes to work with other formats.

I have no real hope, but if someone knows of a way to do that, I would appreciate it.

Re: Menu Builder
Hi Pete, If I keep that darn checkbox unchecked and do check the checkbox Set as stack Menu bar, then all is fine and the controls don't move up or down (actually they do move down by the same amount of pixels the card moves up). I don't know about a tutorial or something, but I rarely look at tutorials. There really isn't more to it than what I wrote in my previous e-mail, except that you need to make the group first and set its loc to 0,0 and then set the menubar of the stack and the editmenus. You also need to tweak the horizontal position and the text font and style to resemble the Windows menubar. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/1bq Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!

[ANN] Alpha Twitter Support
Folks, I know this has been delayed forever but the time is upon us to have Twitter-enabled apps. During the last conference, I demoed a very simple twitter library but did not share it because it relied on some command line tools that were only available on Mac OS X. It took me a while to find the time and solution to create a cross-platform library but I think I've made it. It was my wish to polish, test and document it before releasing anything but I know some people here need this stuff, so if you are not afraid of bugs and diving into badly designed code, hop to http://hg.andregarzia.com/livecode-socialsuite and download a fresh copy of the repository. There will be three new files in it: lib.aag.outh.livecode - a simple OAuth 1.0 library. Just enough to work. lib.aag.twitter.livecode - a VERY ALPHA library for twitter. There is enough code there to update the user status. SimpleTweet.livecode - a simple example that posts to the user status. I need to test this library. I also need to document it and make it easier to use but that may take some time and I don't want to delay it anymore. To use this library you will need to register at http://dev.twitter.com to get your consumer key and secret. You will need to know OAuth and Twitter API to use this library. I will make it easier shortly but right now it is a very low level library (but hey, it works!) I only tested on the desktop but it should work with mobile too. This library is different than the facebook library. The fb library has some revBrowser/iphoneControl code in it to present the authorization screens. The current OAuth and Twitter combination of libraries has no such thing. You need to build your own browser window and pass the id to the library. I may or may not implement automatic browser creation but I thought it was best to release now than to wait for me to implement everything. Twitter API can answer in JSON and XML formats. You can use Mark Smith libJSON or my libJSON (Marks library is better) or you can use XML and be happy. The OAuth library is FOSS under the terms of the BSD license, so you can do whatever you want with it. The Twitter library is dual licensed. It can be used under the terms of GPLv2 or you can donate to me to have a commercial license to close your source. More details at my page http://andregarzia.com/page/socialsuite So be happy with your tweets. The next library being implemented is Dropbox, check this teaser: http://fon.nu/lc-dropbox Cheers andre -- http://www.andregarzia.com -- All We Do Is Code. http://fon.nu -- minimalist url shortening service. ___ 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: SQL Date Formatting
Hi Bob, I guess it depends on what you mean by real dates SQL date fields are pretty specific as to their format, that's why you give them a type of DATE or DATETIME. It's just a case of adjusting your SELECT statement to use the functions that SQL provides to return the date in whatever format you want. In SQLite, SELECT strftime(DateField,'%m/%d/%Y') returns the date in US format. In mySQL, SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DateField,'%m/%d/%Y) Or you can select the field as is and convert it in LC: set the itemdelimiter to / put item 2 of myDate / item 3 of myDate / item 1 of myDate Pete On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 5:20 PM, Bob Sneidar b...@twft.com wrote: Hi all. I am having F-I-TZ working with dates in mySQL. I WANT to store the dates as real dates, but mySQL formats them as -mm-dd.

Date intersection revisited
Hi all. A while ago someone asked how to phrase a query for date intersections. I have been struggling all day to come up with what is probably very simple logic for date intersections. For instance, I need to find all the reserved rooms whose dates fall within the selected dates of a new reservation. I came up with a way to do that. It's a bit more complicated than using the SQL between function because BETWEEN is inclusive, and if you think about it, it's fine if a new reservation falls on the departure day of an existing one. So given that startdate and enddate are SQL columns in a reservation database, and the literal dates are the new reservation start and end dates, I give you this where clause: (startdate = 2012-1-11 AND startdate 2012-1-14) OR (enddate 2012-1-11 AND enddate = 2012-1-14) This in effect allows new reservations to begin on the day another ends, or end on the day another begins. I don't know why this kind of logic comes so hard for me sometimes. I have to draw pictures to sort it out. At any rate, if I can prevent someone else from having to go through the mental hoops I did, then I feel I have contributed.

Re: Menu Builder

Re: Menu Builder
What you can do is create a new stack, build your menu there, copy the text of the button it creates, then build on the fly when you open your stack. I think. I'm a little fuzzy about that. :-) Bob On Jan 11, 2012, at 4:51 PM, Pete wrote: After a gap of many months since last using the Menu Builder, I'm back to trying it again with not very auspicious results.

Re: Date intersection revisited
You can do this with sql functions too Bob. The sqlite date function has a modifier parameter, eg date(2011-1-11,'+ 1 DAY). MYSQL has the DATE_ADD and DATE_SUB functions which do the same thing.

I find the Menu Builder to be the easiest way to build menus and I use it all the time. I don't find it buggy at all, I think of it as one of the most convenient features LiveCode offers. But you do need to understand how it works, or it will *appear* buggy. What you describe is exactly what is supposed to happen. There's info on how LiveCode menus work here: http://www.hyperactivesw.com/mctutorial/rraboutMenus.html What that mainly says is: to accomodate both Windows (where menus are on the card) and Mac (where menus are in the system menu bar,) LiveCode places your menu group at the top of the card and leaves it there on a Windows machine, or scrolls the card up and out of the way on a Mac. That places the top 26 pixels or so offscreen and out of sight on a Mac. It's a little like setting the scroll of the card to 26; the card top has moved up and out of the window bounds. When adding a new menu, you want blank space at the top of the card to allow room for the menu group. If you didn't create your menus first, you may have other objects already in the way. If so, they need to move down to accomodate the new group. If that's the case, you do want to check the box that moves everything down. If you've left room for the group already, skip that checkbox. It's a one-time relocation and very convenient when you decide in the middle of a project that you need a menubar on a screen where there are already objects in the way. I used to use a custom script for that until the Menu Builder came along. Whether or not you move your objects down, if the stack has the menu group assigned, the card will scroll upward on a Mac. All your objects will appear to move up when it does that. They haven't really moved; their locations are still the same. But now that the top of the card has moved out of view, the objects have moved along with it and appear to have changed positions. It's visual only. Menu builder is convenient, not only because it can create menus quickly, but because it can enter all those tedious switch/case scripts automatically. All I have to do after that is go in and fill in the working parts. It also lays out menu items in the right order so that Preferences and Help manage to show up in the right places cross-platform. You can toggle the scroll on and off on a Mac by toggling preview as menu bar. This just sets the editmenus property of the stack to true, which unscrolls the card. (I often just type the command into the message box.) Unscrolling the card brings the menu group into view, showing it as it will look on Windows, and making it easy to select and edit button scripts or lay out other objects. When I'm done, I set the editmenus to false again and the menu bar scrolls back up out of the way and appears in the system menu. Tip: if you add a menu group late in development and need to move objects down to accomodate it, some objects may get pushed off the bottom of the card. You'll need to increase the stack height to adjust for the new locations. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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

Oh, forgot: you've probably designed your card with space at the top that you want to preserve. If so, then you do want to check the move everything down checkbox, so that when the card scrolls back up your objects will appear to be in the same relative positions as you originally had them. Make your stack 26 pixels taller to accomodate the new object locations. There's another trick if you don't want to use the menu builder. You can create a menu group and just hide it. It will still show in the system menu if the group is assigned as the stack's menu bar, but the scroll won't happen if the group is hidden. You'd need to script a command on openstack that checks the platform and shows the group if you plan to run the stack on Windows. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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: Menu Builder
Thanks Jacque. Things appear to be working now but I have no idea what combination of things I did to make it happen, and I hate that. Your explanation and the links helped explain it all. As Joe said, if only this was in the User Guide, there'd be a lot less nervousness about using the menu builder. I'll go back to Mark's original comment in this thread - maybe it's not buggy once you understand it but it's definitely unintuitive. I have one remaining issue to deal with and that has to do with some window resizing I do which now will have to take account of the menu group, probably differently on Windows than on OS X. Fortunately, the code to do the resizing is all in one handler so once I figure out whether to add the 26 pixels or subtract them, all should be OK. Pete On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 9:06 PM, J.

Re: Menu Builder
All of these suggestions are well and good; but, on my most recent project, I bi-passed the entire problem by creating my own menus on the cards for both the Mac and Windows versions of a much larger size so that I don't have to deal with the minuscule fonts normally used for Windows apps. This way they appear in 18 pt. Arial for both versions - and I can read them. It was a lot of work, but with my poor vision it was well worth it, and those I've shown it to agree with me. Personally, I'll never do things any other way now that I've gone this route. Anyone who would like a screen shot off-line just let me know. I haven't kept up with the web development, so I've yet to learn how to upload stuff so that others may download it. Joe Wilkins On Jan 11, 2012, at 9:06 PM, J.

Re: Menu Builder
OK, now on to the next step. Menus working fine, all scripted. Now I want to add a menu item to the File menu in certain circumstances. I coded a mouseDown handler in the button named File in my menu group to do this. It gets the text of the menu, adds the text for the new menu item to the end and puts it back into the menu's text property. New text never appears. Set a breakpoint at the start of the handler so I can check my logic, even inserted a breakpoint command. Never breaks. The menuPick is right there in the same script and it works fine so why doesn't mouseDown get handled? On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 9:06 PM, J.
