Re: Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Mark, Thanks for the clarification but if you have the patients to explain a bit further it would be appreciated. When the sub stack field has the focus, the “long name of the focused object” refers to a card of the main stack (at least there is no reference to a sub stack). For the first line I get: card id 1002 of stack /Users/john/Downloads/Test stack.livecode The focused object refers to a field on a card of the sub stack which is part of the stack. For the second line I get: field id 1004 of card id 1002 of stack Sub Stack of stack /Users/john/Downloads/Test stack.livecode” In this case the field, the sub stack, and the stack are referred to. The “long name” variant seems to strip the reference to the field and the sub stack. If the field on the main stack has the focus, both the first and the second lines refer to the same object in slightly different forms. When the main stack field has the focus I get: field results of card id 1002 of stack /Users/john/Downloads/Test stack.livecode field id 1013 of card id 1002 of stack /Users/john/Downloads/Test stack.livecode” These both refer to the same field.

Re: Convert rgb to lightness or darkness
In the standard formula for RGB - HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness), Lightness is calculated as the average of the max and min of the RGB values.

Hi Glen,
Couple of issues with using the above as a regex.
The period character means any character except newline in a regex. By
chance it works for the string you're looking for but it really should be
escaped with a backslash character.
The \d{2} looks for two digits and you only have one digit in that
position in the string. If you want to allow for 1 or 2 digits, you can
use either \d{1,2} or \d\d?
So your regex would be (untested):
q
xsi:type=xsd:patternIGD\.NetDevice\.\d{1,2}\.NetCommonInterfaceConfig\./q

Re: Is this a bug or am I missing something?
John- My apologies - I forgot about the weirdness of menus on osx. My earlier response was based on linux, which has a much more reasonable approach to UI interaction. So here's what I see happening on osx: 1. click in the substack field 2. click on a menu item This actually moves the focus to the main stack because the menubar is part of the mainstack. You can see this if you examine the stack in the Application Browser or Project Browser. But buttons (and menus by extension) can't receive the focus, so the focus ends up being on the currrent card. That's the first line you see. But *now that you have put text into the result field*, it now becomes the focused object, and the second time you try to access the focused object you will be referring to th field. The second line reflects that fact. -- Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.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: Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Mark, I can see your line of reasoning but it does not quite track. The first line in the result field does show that the focus is with main stack card where the menu buttons are located. In my case, the second line indicates that the focus is on the sub stack field, *not* the result field. Perhaps we are seeing different things on different machines if the focusedObject is changing while the single line script (in the menu bar mouseDown handler) is running. To test for this I changed the menubar script to this: on mouseDown local theObject put the focusedObject into theObject put the long name of theObject return return theObject into field results end mouseDown I now get the following result: field Field with property of card id 1002 of stack Sub Stack of stack /Users/john/Downloads/Test stack.livecode field id 1004 of card id 1002 of stack Sub Stack of stack /Users/john/Downloads/Test stack.livecode” Both lines indicate that the focus in on the field on in the sub stack even though they are in different formats. If I am thinking about this right, it means that the focusedObject was changing during the execution of the single line script.

My earlier response was based on linux, which has a much more reasonable approach to UI interaction. So here's what I see happening on osx: 1. click in the substack field 2. click on a menu item This actually moves the focus to the main stack because the menubar is part of the mainstack. You can see this if you examine the stack in the Application Browser or Project Browser. But buttons (and menus by extension) can't receive the focus, so the focus ends up being on the currrent card. That's the first line you see. But *now that you have put text into the result field*, it now becomes the focused object, and the second time you try to access the focused object you will be referring to th field.

Re: Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Jaque, While this may be the case in general, when the menubar script is: on mouseDown put the long name of the focusedObject return return the focusedObject into field results end mouseDown The first part of the put (the long name of the focusedObject) results in a card on the main stack being written to the “results” field and the second part of the put (the focusedObject) results in the field on the sub stack being written to the “results” field. If I change the script to: on mouseDown local theObject put the focusedObject into theObject put the long name of theObject return return theObject into field results end mouseDown The execution changes and the “result” field displays the same object (the field on the subs tack) for both halves of the put being written to the “results” field albeit in a different format. This is leading me to the conclusion, perhaps incorrectly, that the focusedObject is changing during the execution of the first single line script. It may be doing the same thing in the second script as well but it is not seen because the focusedObject is being placed in a variable. Thanks, John On Oct 9, 2014, at 11:35 AM, J.

Re: Accessing properties in sub stack fields
Pete, Thanks for the insight. The issue with the focusObject seems to be fairly nuanced and perhaps based on execution speed and platform. There is another message thread with the subject Is this a bug or am I missing something?”, that seems to indicate that the focusedObject is changing value during the execution of a single line of script. I will file a bug report if appropriate when that thread winds to a conclusion.

Re: Getting a list of object properties
Craig: Yes, I’d like a list of the properties of an object. Of course, the first thing I needed to understand with the “slider” object is that it is called a “scrollbar” which is shown in the property inspector. Wouldn’t it be great for newbies to have a tab in the object inspector that listed all of the settable property names and messages? Yes, some are shown in the BvG Docu 2 app, but it’s incomplete. I got a bit further. Then I tried to set the scroll, then found a reference to the scrollbardrag message in the docs. My question was intended to make my future investigations of poorly documented objects a bit easier. I know there is work being done on the documents and this period of rapid upgrading and adding of features is going to be a bit chaotic, but so many of the users on this list have been using LC for a long time and info on what hurdles newbies face can be useful for folks creating the learning materials.

Re: Is this a bug or am I missing something?
The fog is lifting a bit and I can see why the card gets the focus. That the focusedObject can change part way through a single line of script is a bit unsettling. The original goal was to access a property of a field to update the menus before they are shown and using the selectedField seems solid. I don’t know if this is a bug or an observation.

Re: Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Certainly true about buttons not being focusable on OSX, not so sure about the focus changing when the button is clicked. I put the cursor into a field on a card then entered this in the message box: put the long name of the focusedObject return the focusedObject The first line of the output referred to my card (not the field that had focus) and the second line to a field in the revmessagebox stack. No button clicks involved but there's still an inconsistency depending on just how you refer to the focusedObject. But, easy to work round as you pointed out.

Re: Raspberry Pi and GPIO
Thanks Andrew. I did the following: 1) edit /etc/rc.local (sudo nano /etc/rc.local) 2) added the following 2 line near the end, but in front of the last line (exit 0) chgrp -R dialout /sys/class/gpio chmod -R g+rw /sys/class/gpio 3) saved file 4) rebooted This allowed me to do the shell commands with out needing to add the “sudo” and to do livecode I/O. Playing with livecode I/O I have learned the following: setting the defaultfolder to “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12” put the files…. gets me what I expect. I see the direction and value files as well as some others that I have yet to explore. putting the defaultfolder returns “/sys/device/virtual/gpio/gpio12” Hummm, can livecode do I/O to virtual devices? Kind of….. These do NOT work: put URL “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” or put 0 into URL “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” open file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” for write write 0 to file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” wait 1 second write 1 to file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” close file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” — I suspect that the virtual driver keys off of the close to actually output the signal. This works quite well: open file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” for write write 0 to file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” close file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” In fact it can be pretty fast, I could not see any blinking at all with _delay set to 0, 1 was flicker, 2 was the start of a true blink, 3,4,5 were solid blinks. on mouseup repeat with _delay = 0 to 5 repeat 10 times _output 0 wait _delay ticks _output 1 wait _delay ticks end repeat end repeat end mouse up on _output val open file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” for write write val to file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” close file “/sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value” end _output Using the shell cmds were way too slow.

Dear LiveCode Users, The Excel Library 1.3.3 Commercial Version is released!

(Windows only) - XCEL_PivotTable_Slicer_Style_Set: sets the slicer style (color). (Windows only) - XCEL_PivotTable_Slicer_Delete: deletes a slicer. (Windows only) Slicers are Pivot table filters introduced in MS Excel 2010. Infortunatly the slicer object is not existing in MS Excel for Mac. And a fix: Command XCEL_Range_Values_Set for Windows is now properly working if the data to inject in a range is containing quotes. These new commands and functions are directly resulting from Excel Lib owners requests. The Excel Lib requires a copy of MS Excel installed on the computer for working.

Re: the price of a context switch/function call
I took just about the worst case scenario: a single-line function I wrote a few weeks back: function isLeapYear Y return Y is a number and Y mod 4 = 0 and (Y mod 100 0 or Y mod 400 = 0) end isLeapYear If any function is going to pay the price for the cost of a function call, that's it -- there's minimal work to do in the actual function, so any overhead will be that much worse in proportion to how little actual work there is. Calling that with i = 1 to a million takes just over a second on my computer. If I inline the function, it takes 0.25 to 0.3 of a second. So the speed-up for inlining is substantial -- the overhead of calling the function is greater than the time spent on the actual code. But it's still not that bad. And any function with more than a few lines of code in it will be much less affected. ___ 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

Until there is an official SDK for Android external development they will remain in beta and only be available as a bonus to mergExt Complete users. The externals are: - mergZXing - This external allows you to implement either an embedded barcode reader control or to use a third party barcode reader (Barcode Reader or Barcode Reader +) by Intent. - mergAV - This external allows you to implement a camera control for recording video and taking photos. For the time being you need to swap the iOS external for the Android external in the standalone settings of your app depending on which platform you are building for. Cheers Monte -- M E R Goulding Software development services Bespoke application development for vertical markets mergExt - There's an external for that! ___ 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: [ANN] New Android Externals
There's a demo stack in the external download and also the demo for iOS should work too because it's the same API.

The original goal was to access a property of a field to update the menus before they are shown and using the selectedField seems solid. I don’t know if this is a bug or an observation. If anyone has an opinion about submitting a bug report, I am happy to submit one. It can't hurt. The worst that can happen is they explain why it acts that way and close it. -- 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

I haven't tried working with them on anything but OS X but I don't think it would make any difference. On 10 Oct 2014, at 10:59 am, Sean Cole (Pi) s...@pidigital.co.uk wrote: You star Monte!

Re: Any way to do this?
Kay, I tried your suggestion. This works if your are pasting within LC but it does not paste into a document. By the way, I am using groups and not images. So I modified your script as follows: on mouseUp copy group id 20412 and group id 20413 end mouseUp Any other suggestions?
