Re: strange htmltext problem
I'm having issues with htmltext also. I'm using the sub tag to do the equivalent of setting the textshift of a character and the img tag to do the equivalent of setting the imagesource, eg sub shift=2img src=1234 char= /sub I can clearly see this in the variable I use to set the htmltext, yet when I get the htmltext of the field, the sub clauses are sometimes there, sometimes not. Even if they are there, they don't have any effect. I'd really like to get this working if I can since using htmltext appears much faster than setting the imagesource and textshift on individual lines in the field when there are a large number of lines to be processed. This is with LC 5.5.0, OSX 10.7.

The situation is more complicated than you may be thinking.

You may want to always make sure that important text into fields are in the top third of the screen.

OK, seems like there's conflicting opinions then. I guess I can use Craig's idea of checking the lock screen to see how it unfolds.

Re: lock/unlock screen
After putting some displays in my code, it seems that the locks are queued, that is unlocking only unlocks the last lock, not all of them. However, it also seems that the unlock doesn't take effect until the handler it is in exits. For example, F1, calls F2 and F2 locks and unlocks. A check of the lockscreen immediately after the unlock shows it to be true. A check of the lockscreen in F1 right after the call to F2 shows if to be false. I also notice that if you are in debug mode, the lock screen has no effect, that is the screen is updated each time a change to it is made even when it's locked.

Re: lock/unlock screen
Right, because you are actually executing each command as a single script when in debug mode, hence idle gets sent right after. Idle unlocks the screen. Also, it seems you and Richmond are getting different results. Not sure what is going on there.

Re: lock/unlock screen
That won't work Richmond, unless the first button sends a mouseup to the second button. Remember, an idle message will unlock the screen in any event, so as soon as the first button's script finishes, the screen will unlock.

Re: lock/unlock screen
OK, I think this all hangs together now.

Not likely to happen though. I was hoping this discussion might solve a problem I'm having where updating a scrolling list field seems to be taking a lot longer than I thought it would when I'm putting a lot of lines into the field (in the region of a couple of thousand), but looks like the problem must lie elsewhere in my code.

Re: SQL question
During development a useful couple of lines of code are, assuming you've been through your repeat for each col_name loop to create your query with it's many OR conditions: put tQuery into tTemp replace comma with cr in tTemp replace OR with cr OR in tTemp --replace AND with cr AND in tTemp -- if appropriate put tTemp into fld tempDisplay -- or MSG What this does is takes your single very long line query: SELECT 1Col,2Col,3Col,4Col,...,xCol FROM table WHERE (1Col LIKE '%or%' OR 2Col LIKE 'or%' OR 3Col LIKE '%or%' OR 4Col LIKE '%or%' OR ... LIKE '%or%' OR xCol LIKE '%or%') and makes it easier to debug the important bits: SELECT 1Col 2Col 3Col 4Col ... xCol FROM table WHERE (1Col LIKE '%or%' OR 2Col LIKE 'or%' OR 3Col LIKE '%or%' OR 4Col LIKE '%or%' OR ... LIKE '%or%' OR xCol LIKE '%or%') All the column names should be all lined up so it makes tracking down spelling or formatting errors so much easier.
