Or put it in the mouseUp handler of the button, or set the traversalOn of the 
button to true.

Re: artificially causing a field to be left in a script

[Peter Haworth]

If you're saying the user clicks on a button after changing a field, see
the other concurrent thread going on right now.  closeField doesn't happen
if you change a field's contents and then immediately click on a button.
 The other thread has the workaround.

Re: artificially causing a field to be left in a script

[dunbarx]

Now I see.


put this into the field script:


on mouseLeave
  focus on nothing
end mouseLeave


When the field loses focus, it will trigger the "closeField" message.

I change the text of the field, and then click on a button, which runs
a script, saves data if changed, and loads the next data.

I just put the script

on closefield
   beep

   pass closefield

to a field, changed contents, and pushed my button.  No beep, and no closefield.

Then go to it, change something, and tab, and beep & breakpoint.

Re: Format Accented Characters for URL?

[Scott Rossi]

Darn -- maybe I spoke too soon.

It seems that uniEncoding/Decoding works fine on the desktop, but perhaps
doesn't work when run from an irev file?

After getting empty values returned from the server, I tried these simple
tests:
put uniDecode(uniEncode("ABC"),"utf8");exit to top
put uniEncode("ABC");exit to top


In both cases, I get an empty page.

Is there a trick to make uniEncoding work in an irev file?  I found one
thread about uploading text files in the proper format, but I'm not using
any uploaded files, and even the case above with the simple string seems
to be failing.

Thanks for any enlightenment.

Sorry, still not getting it. If I change the contents of a field, it matters 
not what I do next: click a button or the card, navigate to another card via 
any means open to me, focus on another field, whatever, the "closeField" 
message is sent.


What are you doing, exactly, after the text of the field is changed?

If someone selects a single field and changes the value, and then

called.  I need to have closefield called if the data has changed,
thus the wish to send a tab to the field.

Not quite--

when the nav button is hit, that script runs before the card is left.

For that matter, the card is never left; I just load new data into the
fields from the database.  It looks to the user like a stack of cars.

(Once upon a time, this program was developed in HyperCard, and I used
the natural method of having multiple cards.  [* now shuddering at the

Re: artificially causing a field to be left in a script

[dunbarx]

Hi, again.


But if you change the contents of a field, and then leave the card, closeField 
is sent.


I made a field, and put this into its script:


on closeField
  put random(99) && the target
end closeField


I typed into the field, and then left the card (via CMD-3). A number appears in 
the msg box, followed by the field descriptor.


Is this not what you needed?


Craig

No; that only applies if the field is exited without change--and I
only care about the case where the field has changed, but the card is
left before leaving the field.

When that happens, I want the closefield behavior for that field to happen.

Hi.


I have a nagging feeling I am missing what you want.


When you say "clicks to go to the next data", what do you mean?


I thought your issue was leaving a field without changing its contents, which 
would indicate the use of "exitField", whereas "closeField" is sent only when 
the field contents have changed.

The #)(*%& trace is back in 5.2.2!

[Dr. Hawkins]

It's happening again:  at a breakpoint, I get a brief pause, and then
it starts moving through code.

This would be useful if it did it when I *TOLD* it to.

The only solution, again, seems to be to quit the IDE.

Hi Scott

I think the + char is an encoded space. That's what LC outputs instead of the 
%20 alternative.

I'm guessing that strings with characaters such as ñ (n + tilde) need to be in 
UTF8 format before using url encode.

Example:

Here's a slightly exotic version of a well-known address:

25a Thistlé Street SW Lañe, Edinburgh

If we put that into field 1, then run the following:

put uniDecode(uniEncode(field 1), "UTF8") into tA
put urlencode(tA)

it gives: 25a+Thistl%C3%A9+Street+SW+La%C3%B1e%2C+Edinburgh

If we try this url in a browser:

maps.google.com/maps?q=25a+Thistl%C3%A9+Street+SW+La%C3%B1e%2C+Edinburgh

Apologies if any of the above gets rearranged in the mail.

How to target selected field of another stack

[Brahmanathaswami]

I want to add a pull down menu to a small tools palette stack (B) that 
acts on the fields of a second "main" stack (A).


even if the window mode of the tools stack (B) is palette, the traversal 
of the pull down menu is off and I have my cursor in a text field of the 
"main" stack (A)... the focusedObject() always returns the card of the 
tools stack (B) and not the field I have my cursor in.


Oddly "the selection" referred to in scripts of the palette stack (B) 
*does* target the cursor location/selected text of the selected field in 
stack (A)


So why can't I get the focusedObject() of that field?

Format Accented Characters for URL?

[Scott Rossi]

Hi List:

Wondering if someone has a suggestion for URL character formatting in LCŠ

I'm trying to format a URL string to submit to Google Maps.  The string is a
street address that needs to be delimited using "+".  The complication
arises when an address contains an accented character like ñ (n + tilde).
If I change the ñ to a roman n, the address is processed, but I thought I
could use something like urlEncode to handle problem characters.

If I urlEncode the entire string, Google rejects it.  If I manually delimit
the urlEncoded string with "+", Google rejects it.  urlEncode replaces
everything in the string, including punctuation, with encoded versions, and
it seems that Google wants these characters unencoded in the string.

Is there some simple way to handle this without resorting to a character
table?  It seems I either have to maintain a table of accented characters or
a table of punctuation and symbols to swap in the URL.  Perhaps someone
already has a routine for formatting addresses with accented characters for
a URL, or maybe there's a better way to format the string?

Thanks for any suggestions/pointers.

Regards,

Scott Rossi

Perhaps, but I like the fact that if there is a focus border on a field, focus

Re: Show/Hide problem persists

[Bob Sneidar]

At this point I would have to have a copy of the problem stack. Obviously 
something else is going on here because to my knowledge no one else has been 
able to reproduce the problem.

Re: detect keyboard height on mobile

[ha...@exformedia.se]

According to the documentation 
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/inputmethodservice/Keyboard.html#getHeight()
 it doesn't looks like it should be that hard to implement...
...so maybe someone at Runrev could explain why they are "not able to resolve 
the bug at this point in time."

Show/Hide problem persists

[lunchnmeets]

Hi Again,

In previous builds I had no trouble with this code but I do have a 
problem with my Mac and v5.5.2.


It's really strange that after executing a show or hide in a button 
script it exits to the top. Nothing further is seen. Here's the 
strange part though. If I use a keyDown command to send mouseUp to 
that button the same script for that button works correctly without 
stopping. I can't imagine why. I tried try/catch but since the script 
comes to a screeching halt at the show or hide it never reaches 
"catch"


Could the problem have something to do with the fact that the pressed 
button is in the group I'm trying to hide?


Once again thanks to Jacque, Craig, Bob and Mark for your ideas.

Whatever works, but I like the focus on nothing workaround.

Re: Has anybody run into this problem?

[Bob Sneidar]

Yes this is "normal" behavior for a Mac. There is a workaround. In the button 
(or any button that the user might click) enter: 

focus on nothing

You can even have a mouseUp handler in the frontscript that does it for you and 
passes the mouseUp message.

Re: Has anybody run into this problem?

Dean,

The textChanged handler worked great! What do you think of using only the 
textChanged handler and delete the closeField and exitField handlers for each 
of my data entry fields?

Dean,

I tried the traveralOn for the button but it did not work. I then
substituted the new textChanged for a closeField handler and it worked! I am
using LC 5.5.2 for the first time. Do you think it is wise to only use the
textChanged handler and delete the closeField and exitField handlers for
each of my data fields?

Charles,

A couple of thoughts (not tested.)

Try setting the traversalOn (Focus with keyboard in the prop inspector) to true 
for the button.

Try handling the new textChanged message in addition to the close/exitField 
messages.

Has anybody run into this problem?

[Charles Szasz]

I have a number of fields that I am using the closeField and exitField handlers 
to do calculations after the user enters  numbers in the fields. The Problem I 
am running into is that the closeField and exitField handlers do not work on 
the very last field when the user clicks directly on a button. I have tried 
using the command click at 0,0 in the button that the user presses after 
leaving a field but that does not work in LC 5.5.2. Anybody have a suggestion?

Re: Oval Bug in iOS

[Roger Guay]

Apparently there is little interest in this obscure behavior, but for the 
record, ovals with line sizes of about 30 or more show a small empty sector at 
about the 3 o’clock position in iOS.

In previous posts, I thought this problem was related to my script used to 
incrementally grow rings. Not so. Static or dynamic ovals, opaque or not, with 
line sizes of about 30 show this defect, and it gets worse with increasing 
lineSizes.

Just a word of caution to you fat lineSize oval users out there!! (To be clear, 
fat is meant to be the modifier of lineSize . . . not users in the previous 
sentence.)

Regards,
Roger

Re: Trouble with export image

[Graham Samuel]

Since writing the query below, I realise that sometimes 'export' doesn't 
export: it produces an (undocumented) result "can't open file" which seems 
inappropriate. I had somehow messed up the file path and hadn't noticed. There 
was a different problem with the framing of the image - hard to track down but 
not worth explaining. Sorry for the bandwidth.
