Re: Works in IDE, doesn't work in standalone (revisited)
Yes, Richard, I really want to do this - it's really the only way forward that makes real sense. Unfortunately it is proving difficult, since the design of this app (not originally mine) is somewhat convoluted, which means teasing out the essentials of the problem (without making it disappear along the way) is rather a long process. I suspect that, when I finally do get a repeatable sample stack, I will simultaneously be able to see what the problem really is. It's just a bit of a slog. Anyway thanks for the interest and I hope to get back to the list fairly soon.

Thanks for that Jan. I checked the lockLocation of the templateGraphic and it's off, as it should be. Anyway the chosen graphic tool works on cards on other stacks, just not on the one I want it to work on, so to that extent the templateGraphic must be OK. I could go on about this, but I feel honour bound not to waste any more bandwidth.

Re: Works in IDE, doesn't work in standalone (revisited)
Yep There is just one 'newGraphic' handler, in the script of a mainstack which is acting as a library. All it does is log information like the cantSelect of objects - logging is just putting text into a field somewhere. When I comment it out, the program behaves as before; BUT I also have a 'newTool' handler in the same place which makes sure that the cantSelect of the card and some other objects is set to false, and the cantModify of the stack is also set to false; and if I comment that out, the tool won't even draw the little graphics that it was allowing before (although the graphic tool, like the pointer tool, still works on another card). So we may be getting somewhere. Thanks so much for your interest Graham On 10 Jun 2013, at 11:29, Jan Schenkel wrote: Is there a 'newGraphic' message handler involved by any chance?

preparing a stack for printing
Hi I'm trying to print a kind of report, and am weirded out by all the different rectangles and widths that are available (printRectangle, printPaperRectangle, printPaperSize, printMargins, etc.) All I want is the printable area, so I can set the width and height of my stack to that amount, then print the first card. It seems that the below lines produce an approximation amount, but it's not completely correct. The approach also so weirdly backwards and roundabout! I guess my question is, isn't there any way to get the same or a better result more easily? put item 3 of the printRectangle - item 1 of the PrintRectangle - item 1 of the printMargins - item 3 of the printMargins into myEffectivePrintWidth put item 4 of the printRectangle - item 2 of the PrintRectangle - item 2 of the printMargins - item 4 of the printMargins into myEffectivePrintHeight -- Use an alternative Dictionary viewer: http://bjoernke.com/bvgdocu/ Chat with other RunRev developers: http://bjoernke.com/chatrev/ ___ 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

[OT] Google Drive and Stack Files
Wondering if anyone has used Google drive to store their stack files. I've had my stack files on Google Drive for quite a while but until the last few days have always accessed them from the same computer. Recently, I've been accessing a stack file from a different computer for , with my usual computer powered off. On the second computer, all looks fine in my Google Drive folder, but now on my normal computer, I see many versions of the stack file each with a number in parens after the name, and the correctly named stack file doesn't have any of the changes I've made in the last few days. I'm pretty sure the highest numbered of these files has all the changes I've made in it so I can recover from this but wondering if anyone can shed any light on why this might have happened.

finding hte position in the field when backspaceKey hit
I'm handling backspaceKey (and others) in a combobox. by the time it is hit, another field will be displayed nearby. After the handler, in which the label is reset (I need the label changed for handling before giving up control, so I can't pass the message to get it done), the cursor is placed at the beginning, rather than the end, of the combobox. I could assume that the last character was deleted, but is there a way to store the cursor position in the field, so that I can move it to one before? It seems to me that it should be a selectedSomething, or (to my thinking) a cursor property, but I can't find anything in the ictionary. -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.

Re: working with unicodeFormattedText
That sequence is not really invalid UTF-8. NUL-SPACE is valid in a strict sense, just unlikely. However, it does look very much like UTF-16BE. You need to convert this to UTF-8 using uniDecode(). The property unicodeFormattedText will give you UTF-16 in native ordering. (And unicodeFormattedText will insert extra line-ends. If you don't want that, use unicodeText.)

Re: preparing a stack for printing
On 6/10/13 10:24 AM, Björnke von Gierke wrote: Hi I'm trying to print a kind of report, and am weirded out by all the different rectangles and widths that are available (printRectangle, printPaperRectangle, printPaperSize, printMargins, etc.) All I want is the printable area, so I can set the width and height of my stack to that amount, then print the first card. It seems that the below lines produce an approximation amount, but it's not completely correct. The approach also so weirdly backwards and roundabout! I guess my question is, isn't there any way to get the same or a better result more easily? put item 3 of the printRectangle - item 1 of the PrintRectangle - item 1 of the printMargins - item 3 of the printMargins into myEffectivePrintWidth put item 4 of the printRectangle - item 2 of the PrintRectangle - item 2 of the printMargins - item 4 of the printMargins into myEffectivePrintHeight All printers include areas of the paper that they can't print on. Usually that's about a quarter inch on the sides and a half inch at the bottom and sometimes the top, but each printer is different. The printRectangle gives you the actual area that the printer is capable of printing to. The printMargins add extra space to that area, so you don't want any printMargins. Set all the printMargins to zero. Method One: If the card objects are not exactly at the edges of the card, then the card's blank space will also be added to the printout. If you want objects to appear exactly within the printer's available area, place card objects at the very edges and top of the card. Usually that means you need to make a separate stack just for printing because in the real stack it looks bad. After all that is done, you can just print directly using the printRectangle to determine the size the card should be: set the rect of this stack to the printRectangle Set the printing stack's visibility to false so that the user can't see it move to the top left of the screen. You'll probably want to rearrange the objects at the edges of the newly sized card before printing. Method Two: Alternately you can print the card into rect and use the printRectangle as the target rect. This won't require a separate printing card. That is easier but this method will resize the card objects, which may or may not be what you want: print this cd from the topLeft of firstObject to the bottomRight of lastObject into rect the printRectangle -- 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: working with unicodeFormattedText
I neglected to explain why. The short why is that what you get from unicodeText is UTF-16 (16-bit characters, mostly) in native byte order, that is, the order the computer likes. Those same characters can be represented in UTF-8, which is nice for text that is mostly ASCII, is robust concerning byte-order issues, is efficient in memory needs (but not compressed) and yet can represent all of Unicode. LiveCode strings (in the current version) are really just byte sequences we interpret as characters. Each Unicode character we rip out of a field is two bytes.

Re: Multitasking Comes to iOS, Time for LC to make it better
Perhaps this can be exploited to allow the event model to work better. Better and more messages and callbacks can allow the event model to get things done while people are doing other things. On the desktop, we might be getting command-line LiveCode back. This means that some tasks can be pushed to a standalone and communication with that is by 'open process' reads and writes, or by TCP/IP. However, I heard somebody mention (dunno who, so this is blatant rumor) that development and stacks being tested will be more isolated, perhaps in separate threads or processes, and there might be some generalization of that that might help.

Re: finding hte position in the field when backspaceKey hit
The problem seems to be that since its a combo box, the whole curent line is considered selected no matter where the cursor is. IF you put the cursor in the field of the combo box on any line and set your backspace handler to get the selectedtext it returns the whole line even if there is no hilite. The combo box seems pretty limited in some ways due to its hybrid nature. You might consider rolling your own. A field and an option button as a custom control would probably work, and then you get access to all field functionality. I'm sure there are ways, but not sure fighting with the combobox will ever get you to your destination unless you dig into the underlying stuff.

Re: working with unicodeFormattedText
You don't have to think UTF-16, maybe the why is distracting. Those lines I gave you should work. Again... To put a UTF-8 string into the field... set the unicodeText of field unicodeText to uniEncode(UTF8String,UTF8) To get a UTF-8 string from the field... put uniDecode( the unicodeText of field Unicode Text, UTF8 ) into UTF8String Or, the last one encapsulated in a function... function utf8FromField s return uniDecode( the unicodeText of field s, UTF8 ) end utf8FromField Dar On Jun 10, 2013, at 4:02 PM, Dr. Hawkins wrote: On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 1:52 PM, Dar Scott d...@swcp.com wrote: I neglected to explain why. The short why is that what you get from unicodeText is UTF-16 (16-bit characters, mostly) in native byte order, that is, the order the computer likes. Those same characters can be represented in UTF-8, which is nice for text that is mostly ASCII, is robust concerning byte-order issues, is efficient in memory needs (but not compressed) and yet can represent all of Unicode. LiveCode strings (in the current version) are really just byte sequences we interpret as characters. Each Unicode character we rip out of a field is two bytes.

Re: Multitasking Comes to iOS, Time for LC to make it better
There are a number of techniques they're using. Apparently, the OS watches for when you tend to use apps, and will keep them updated based on that. Also, if you wake up your device for any reason, the OS will make sure that any app that needs an update will get it then, while power is on. I just downloaded iOS 7, will know in a little while how it works with LiveCode apps.

I will look at this again tomorrow.Film at 11 Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@evergreeninfo.net -Original Message- From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Paul Maguire Sent: Monday, June 10, 2013 5:24 PM To: How to use LiveCode Subject: Android and iOS embedded fonts used in native browser control. Hello again. I can't work this out! I still can't get embedded fonts to display in Android native browser. I can get embedded fonts to appear in the UI when I set up UI controls. All works fine in iOS. I stripped almost everything away and have a test stack here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7szotykzd9od6sh/AndroidBrowserScrollerFonts.zip If anyone has 2 mins to take a look and see where I'm going wrong I'd really appreciate it. Doing my nut in.

I wasn't doubting you, but multiple information sources make for safer decisions :) g On 11/06/2013, at 12:22 PM, Colin Holgate co...@verizon.net wrote: I think I was saying that it does work. Do you have more than one device, I'm just using my iPhone 5 on iOS 7.
