revGoURL "mailto" bug ?

[Bob Earp]

I'm using revGoURL to send eMails to Apple Mail as follows;

put "mailto:?"&; lSubjectTxt & "&" & lAddresses & "&" & lBodyTxt into lMailMsg
revGoURL lMailMsg

It all works OK except that if I use an ampersand "&" or a percentage sign "%" 
in lBodyTxt then revGoURL will not send lMailMsg to the mail client (Apple 
Mail).  If I stick to plain text everything works fine. There may be other 
symbols that create the problem, but these are the two I have found to date.

Anybody got any ideas ?

Thanks, Bob...

Re: Script problem

[Charles Szasz]

Ben, 

Thanks for your generous script suggestions! I did not expect to hear from a LC 
expert as yourself!

I tried both of your script suggestions that were in your previous email.They 
show the number of the card and the number of the checkbox that supposely had a 
blank custom property, uMyLabel. However, I went to each card and examine each 
checkbox for the existence of a custom property, uMyLabel, and found that each 
checkbox on the card that was reported to have a blank uMyLabel actually did 
have a string for it. 

I also again went through each of the more than 800 checkboxes in my project 
and did not find any missing strings. So, I don't know what is accounting for 
the five blank lines in my field "recommendations".  I also checked for any 
invisible checkboxes and found none. There is also no group scripts for these 
checkboxes. 

If you have more ideas or suggestions, please share them with me.

Re: livecode apps summary?

i am often asked which tool/language i use to create the apps and always i get 
a  shrug of the shoulders  if i tell the people about LiveCode.

So i am preparing a website where i want to list all apps (iOS,Android and/or 
Desktop and/or Server), regardless if commercial or private,   which were 
created with LiveCode.
So i you have created an app and are interested in  getting your app listed on 
my site, then please send me the following information about your app:

- short summary about your app. What is it for and so on
- an image
- a link to your app in the iTunes store, Google Market or Website.
- if it is sold, how much is it?


Hi Matthias,

I had a similar curiosity - but specifically in relation to mobile apps - for 
the same reason of looking for evidence to overcome scepticism.  So just under 
a year ago I sent a similar appeal to this and other LC lists (see email on 
this list 2011-11-30).


I used a SurveyMonkey form to collect the results - I've just checked and it's 
still there:

http://www.surveymk.com/s/C93Y6LT

You can also still see a summary of the results at:
http://bit.ly/vYBUFh

I intended to produce a beautiful visualisation of all the apps, and got as 
far as writing a LiveCode (of course) stack which used the data entered in 
SurveyMonkey to extract screenshots from the iOS AppStore (IIRC nobody gave me 
data on apps that were available only on Android - this was in the very early 
days of LiveCode supporting Android).  Unfortunately real life intervened and 
I never produced the visualisation - though I still have the cache of screenshots!


Although this survey was specifically for commercially-released (including 
free) mobile apps, it would be fascinating to repeat the exercise now - I had 
over 40 responses then, which I thought was pretty good: I suspect and hope it 
would be a great deal more than that now.


You might want to take a similar approach rather than just inviting free-form 
email.  If you like, I could send you the raw data as an initialisation of 
your data.


FWIW, I doubt if you'll get much in regards to private apps (which are 
certainly most of my own output) so I think you should accept that won't be 
very representative.  Certainly some people took the trouble to use the survey 
to tell me that there were apps that they had produced but couldn't tell me 
about (I think the point they were making was that there might be more Android 
activity than the survey would reveal).


Best of luck - I'll look forward to seeing the results!

Ben

I went through my project and checked all of the some 700+ checkboxes and
did not find any checkboxes that had the uMyLabel custom property and no
custom property label.


Note that LiveCode makes no distinction between an object having a custom 
property with an empty string, and an object that doesn't have that custom 
property.


If you ask for the uIjustMadeItUp of any object, the value will be the same 
empty string as it would be if there was a custom property of that name. 
(There is a way of testing whether the custom property actually exists, but 
it's convoluted.)


So like Thierry I suspect the problem is that you have five checkboxes - which 
might be on one card or five cards - that have no uMyLabel property or a 
uMyLabel property with empty value.


Thierry's script suggestion had the problem that it will only show you the 
last found one (because each "put" overwrites the previous).  So if you want 
to find them - ie if you don't think you should have any - then you could make 
this variation, to just collect the card and button info for checkboxes that 
either don't have the uMyLabel property, or have it empty:



repeat with y = 1 to the number of cards of stack "MyStack"
if the mark of card y of stack "MyStack"= true then
 put the number of buttons of card y of stack "MyStack"into nbr
 repeat with n = 1 to nbr
  if the style of button n of card y of stack "MyStack" is "checkbox"\
  and the hilite of button n of card y of stack "MyStack"   then

 if  the uMyLabel of button n of card y of stack "MyStack" is 
empty then

   put y &&  n & cr after theList
 end if
   -- temporarily suppress normal data collection
   --  put the uMyLabel of button n of card y of stack "MyStack" iinto tName
   -- put tName & cr after theList

  end if
 end repeat
  end if
end repeat


On the other hand if you don't care about that, then just add another test so 
that you don't collect the ones where it's empty:


> repeat with y = 1 to the number of cards of stack "MyStack"
> if the mark of card y of stack "MyStack"= true then

if tName <> empty then
  put tName & cr after theList
end if

Re: Script problem

[charles61]

Hi Therry!

I tried your script suggestion. It reported card 32 and button 38. When I
checked this information, there were no checkbox buttons that have custom
properties on this card. 

I went through my project and checked all of the some 700+ checkboxes and
did not find any checkboxes that had the uMyLabel custom property and no
custom property label. 

I did find two fields that have an uMyLabel, which they shouldn't have and
removed the custom properties for them. But I am still getting the five
blank lines in my recommendation field. I should have mentioned that the
recommendation field is a scrolling field. I have tried my code in a smaller
sample stack with a scrolling field but did not have the 5 blank fields. I
checked and found both scrolling fields have the same settings.
Nevertheless, I tried various combinations of property settings, including
the new Layer Mode with no success. I also found an old group script on one
of my cards and removed it but still no success.

I am use the find function in LC but still have not found the problem. Any
other suggestions?

[semi-OT] iPad emulator for Windows

[Richmond]

http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?/topic/33099-run-ios-apps-on-windows-with-ipad-emulator/

I wonder if one can try running Macintosh standalones on this thing to see
whether they will function on real iPads?

Depends on Adobe Air.

1. Running OK in VMWare Windows XP; accessed a Rutles video on YouTube
(The Rutles are the group the Beatles ripped off).

2. Working fine (surprisingly, perhaps) under WINE 1.5.15, although as 
haven't bothered
to fiddle around with WINE to have internet access (why would one 
ant it) I really

cannot say how effective that is via iPadian on WINE.

Hey, fairly recherche, what? running an iPad emualtor via 2 other 
emulation systems.


How one loads an external execuatble eludes me right now, but . . . . LOL.

-

Of course an awful lot depends on what is 'under the hood' in iPadian. 
Why do I have a funny
feeling the whole thing may be a bit of a fake? It does seem unlikely 
that somebody has
reverse engineered the whole OS in some sort of clean room and 
reimplemented it in iPadian.


Having looked at various browser-based iPad "emulators", this has to be 
less crappy than they are,

at the very least.

Richmond.

Ok, I try one :)

I'm guessing that you have a card which is marked , contains 5 checkbox buttons
with no customproperty uMyLabel !

Check this by inserting another line:

It still amazes me that parents give iPads to their young children.
 Whatever happened to giving them those fake 'educational' laptops from
Toys-R-Us for $30 so they don't break the real computer?  I expect now that
this Christmas, there will be many (or mini) iPad minis under the tree for
the young-uns.

I personally would still opt for a less-expensive option like the Android
mini:

randomly garbles text . . .

And as for typing, I'm already thumbing the regular keyboard on the
regular iPad.

Funny thing is that this question was asked back in the Palm Pilot days, and
so was born the first smart phone.

"Post PC" era is a marketing strategy to sell you on Apple's digital device
+ services plans.

You're a trend-setter, Richmond:

One of the ironies of the so-called "post-PC era" is that I find myself 
running into a growing number of people who are rediscovering their 
desktop computers.


Laptop sales overtook desktops in 2003, providing the portability people 
needed more than raw horsepower.  That portability was so important that 
a majority of customers are willing to pay much more for less 
horsepower-per-dollar than their desktop counterparts.


But these days, most computer users also have smartphones, the one 
computer we always have with us.


Tablets are fun, but they can't fit in a pocket (even the new 7" would 
require some pretty large cargo pants pockets ), so those lugging a 
tablet around in whatever carrying case they use still have their 
smartphone with them as well.


Over time this prompts some of us to ask, "Why am I carrying a second 
Internet device with me when I already have my phone?"


With things like the Macbook Air weighing almost the same as a tablet, 
since either needs a carrying case why not take the one that has more 
power, more RAM, offers the unmatched precision of a mouse, and runs all 
your work apps?


Some are answering this in an entirely different way:  the smartphone is 
the portable device, and when they need a more powerful computer they 
can get far more bang for the buck with a desktop machine.


I doubt this will be a dominant trend, but I'd be surprised if we didn't 
see at least a modest uptick in desktop sales by mid-2013.

Video externals: XMediaPlayer API

[Klaus on-rev]

Hi friends,

here the complete API for the XMediaPlayer external, it is the same for the 
WMP and VLC version of the external.

I added analogies to the QuickTime player object of Livecode where possible.

I will post the API for the "XVideoJoiner" external tomorrow, there have been 
some
changes recently that I need to write down first.


Best

XMediaPlayer API (WMP and VLC!)

1. Commands

XMediaPlayer_Open PlayerName,WindowId
Open a new instance of mediaplayer
PlayerName = any name (one word!) you want, use it to address the mediaplayer 
later
WindowId = window id of stack you want to display the video in

Example:
...
put the windowID of this stack into tWID
XMediaPlayer_Open "Your_Player",tWID
...
If a mediaplayer with that name already exists, then the command will be 
ignored!
-
XMediaPlayer_Close PlayerName
Close instance of mediaplayer with name: PlayerName

Example:
...
XMediaPlayer_Close "Your_Player"
...
If a mediaplayer with that name does not exist, then the command will be 
ignored!
-
XMediaPlayer_Pause PlayerName
Pause playback of mediaplayer

Example:
...
XMediaPlayer_Pause "Your_Player"
...
If a mediaplayer with that name does not exist, then the command will be 
ignored!
-
XMediaPlayer_Play PlayerName
Start mediaplayer

Example:
...
XMediaPlayer_Start "Your_Player"
...
If a mediaplayer with that name does not exist, then the command will be 
ignored!
-
XMediaPlayer_Stop PlayerName
Stop mediaplayer

Example:
...
XMediaPlayer_Stop "Your_Player"
...
If a mediaplayer with that name does not exist, then the command will be 
ignored!
-
-
2. Mediaplayer Properties

General syntax for setting a property:
XMediaPlayer_Set PlayerName, Name_of_Property, Value_of_Property

If a mediaplayer with that name does not exist, then the commands will be 
ignored!

URL = filename of video to display
Example:
...
XMediaPlayer_Set "Your_Player","url","/Users/klaus/Movies/MP4/ToTheOne1.mp4" ## 
Mac
XMediaPlayer_Set "Your_Player","url","C:/Movies/MP4/ToTheOne1.mp4" ## Windows
...
--
RECT = position on screen for mediaplayer, rect like in Livecode: 
left,top,right,bottom

Example:
...
put the rect of grc "video placeholder" into tRect
XMediaPlayer_Set "Your_Player","rect",tRect
...
put 0,0,640,360 into tRect
XMediaPlayer_Set "Your_Player","rect",tRect
...
--
VISIBLE - TRUE or FALSE, Hide or show mediaplayer. 

Example:
...
XMediaPlayer_Set "Your_Player","visible",false 
## hide mediaplayer
...
XMediaPlayer_Set "Your_Player","visible",true 
## show mediaplayer
...
--
POSITION - Set a position in video, in seconds, integer/floating point values 
allowed
Analog to "currenttime" for a Livecode QuickTime player object

Example:
...
XMediaPlayer_Set "Your_Player","position",10
## Set the TIME in movie to 10 seconds
...
--
STOPPOSITION - Set a time in movie where playback should stop in seconds, 
integer/floating point values allowed
Analog to "endtime" for a Livecode QuickTime player object

Example:
...
XMediaPlayer_Set "Your_Player","stopPosition",15
## Set the ENDTIME in movie to 15 seconds
...
When playback reaches the set "stopposition" the message 
"XMediaPlayer_Complete" (see below) will be sent!
--
VOLUME - Volume of video, 0 to 100
Analog to "playloudness" for a Livecode QuickTime player object

Example:
...
XMediaPlayer_Set "Your_Player","volume",100
## Full volume
...
--
--
3. Functions

General syntax for getting a property:
function XMediaPlayer_Get(PlayerName, Name_of_Property) into 
tMediaPlayerProperty

If a mediaplayer with that name does not exist, then the commands will be 
ignored!

DURATION - Duration of mediaplayer in seconds (floating point)

Example:
...
put XMediaPlayer_Get("Your_Player","duration") into tMovieLength
set the endvalue of sb "my video progressbar" to tMovieLength
...
--
RECT - Current position of mediaplayer overlay

Example:
...
put XMediaPlayer_Get("Your_Player","re

livecode apps summary?

[Matthias Rebbe]

Hi,

i am often asked which tool/language i use to create the apps and always i get 
a  shrug of the shoulders  if i tell the people about LiveCode.

So i am preparing a website where i want to list all apps (iOS,Android and/or 
Desktop and/or Server), regardless if commercial or private,   which were 
created with LiveCode.
So i you have created an app and are interested in  getting your app listed on 
my site, then please send me the following information about your app:

- short summary about your app. What is it for and so on 
- an image
- a link to your app in the iTunes store, Google Market or Website.
- if it is sold, how much is it?

I would love to hear from you. ;)

Regards,

Matthias

Ahah!

So; while the iPad is a tablet computer, I suppose the iPad mini (trying 
to be cutesy with the

lower case M) is a PDA.

But . . .  "Every inch an iPad"

which, if you think about it, is not strictly true: it's a shrunken iPad.

And, as such, should be seen as a PDA rather than a tablet computer.

The only problem is that PDAs tend to have some sort of physical 
keyboard you can tap with a stylus or pencil, and the iPad mini will 
have about 2-3 letters under my fat fingers on its virtual keyboard, and
it is unlikely that its screen is going to take nicely to being tapped

Sorry to be negative, but the iPad mini looks like something for Paris 
Hilton and all the other

posers, and not much else.



I find it almost impossible to use the on-screen keyboard on my Android
phone (I find myself yearning for an old Nokia with a numeric keypad - it
would probably be quicker to type with that inappropriate design).  But on
the 7" form-factor I find the on-screen keyboard is surprisingly usable,
with the error rate a tiny fraction of that on the phone.  Whether or not
the error rate would drop further on a 10" screen I have no desire to find
out, as it is low enough on the 7" to be a non-issue.

When I was in the market for a tablet, I predicted to my style-conscious,
Apple-everything, metrosexual friends that Apple would have to release
something in that shape.  Shortly after my purchase, Google released a
tablet in that form-factor.  So Apple is late to the party.  Steve Jobs was
probably blinded by wanting the iPad not to be anything like the Newton
(the Newton being a landmark product when he was not a Apple).

Re: AW: how to build hierachical menues?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Tiemo,

A problem is that a normal option menu button won't display the submenus as 
expected. In those cases, I often create an option menu button (or a 
custom-made variant of it) and a popup button. For example, create one button 
with the following script:

on mouseUp
 create btn
 put it into myBtn
 set the style of myBtn to "menu"
 set the menuMode of myBtn to "popup"
 set the height of myBtn to 22
 set the width of myBtn to 128
 set the text of myBtn to "item 1" & cr & tab & \
  "sub 1" & cr & tab & "sub 2" & cr & "item 2"
 hide myBtn
end mouseUp

and an option menu button without menu items but with this script:

on mouseDown
 popup btn 3 at the bottomleft of me
end mouseDown

Press the first button once and then press the option menu button. It will 
display a menu with submenus.

AW: how to build hierachical menues?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Mark,
as far as I know this feature, it is "just" an optical structure in one
menu.
Perhaps I didn't described it good enough. What I was looking for is a
dynamical solution where I first see only the first level and after choosing
one item of the first level, I get (a second window with) the sub menu items
only of the choosen item of the first level.
Or did I misunderstood your proposal?
Thanks

Hi Tiemo,

Just put tabs before the menu items that should be in a submenu. Like this:

menu item
submenu item
submenu item
menu item
submenu item
subsubmenu item
subsubmenu item
submenu item
submenu item

You can do this in the property inspector.

how to build hierachical menues?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi,

I wonder if there is a build in feature in LC to build hierarchical menus,
or which approach would be state of the art.

What I want to is something like a option menu button. After having opened
it I choose an option from the pull down menu a second submenu opens in a
window beside the choosen option. And again perhaps a third level with a
third sub-sub-menu window.

Is there such a behavior build in or do I have to create it with a couple of
palette windows?

Just not to reinvent the wheel. Thanks

Tiemo

[OT] Apple shrinks

[Richmond]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20042738

a "mini" iPad . . .

this looks like a case of neither one thing or the other; how on earth 
one will

be able to type on the onscreen keyboard escapes me.

Oh, Well, W.C.Fields forever.
