Re: Tab buttons wrong

Do I need to close the mainstack first too? The quit command should take care of closing the windows for you. Normally there should be no need to route a quit command through a timer, so to keep diagnostics simple I'd not use Method 2. The issue here isn't likely with the quit command itself, but with something else going on at the moment it's called. Are you playing any audio or video clips? Any open Internet connections? Any open files? To see if there are any pendingMessages, try temporarily modifying your Quit button with this: on mouseUp # quit answer the pendingMessages end mouseUp But if you were using timers you'd probably know it, so I'm disinclined to think it's timer-related. If I were in your position, I'd implement logging using the messageMessages and a frontScript. I occasionally need this sort of thing myself, so I just made a quickie version that you can add as a substack temporarily while you're figuring out what's going on: http://www.fourthworld.net/lc/4wLogger.livecode.zip Instructions for using it are included.

I don't know if v8's Open Language will allow the addition of new properties (would be nice), but in this case I think we're safe since the request here is arguably more of a function than a property.

Re: opening stack as modal changes screenMouseLoc?
I would guess this is happening because the behavior of displaying a modal stack is based on some UI convention of centering modal dialogs on the screen. The answer dialog behaves this way. One way to work around this is to use a suspendStack handler in the main stack that opens the model, like this: on suspendStack if “myModal is among the lines of the openStacks then set the topLeft of stack “myModal to 100,100 end if end suspendStack Upon opening the modal stack, the main stack is suspended and sets the position of the modal before the modal is displayed. I use this to position the answer dialog when I want to display it in a specific location.

Re: Missing properties
It's been a long time since I saw anything on the syntax extension functionality, but my recollection was that it was supposed to be the all-singing, all-dancing wonder of the universe -- meaning that if I wanted to use a C-like dot-notation (I don't, usually) that would be easy to build. And that basically I'd be able to write that up as a language module, and then share it with other dot-notation fans, who could just drop it in place and go to work. All of which makes me think that if I want to implement a grandchildControlIDs property (I don't), I'll be able to. Is there a more-recent-and-detailed spec that confirms or denies this? I'm (non)patiently awaiting the ability to create inline if statements, default parameter values, and multiple assignments. put (if x = y then 6 else 7) into z function getColumn pData, rowDel=cr, colDel=tab put 3 into x into y But maybe that's just my fantasy. gc On Tue, Dec 9, 2014 at 5:40 PM, Monte Goulding mo...@sweattechnologies.com wrote: On 10 Dec 2014, at 10:31 am, Richard Gaskin ambassa...@fourthworld.com wrote: Given this, Geoff's function seems like a good solution.

Re: Tab buttons wrong
I am getting confused with darker tab is the active one”. In system preferences/Desktop Screen Saver as an example. If you click on the Screen Saver Tab: 1. The text of the Screen Saver Tab is white and it’s background is blue. 2. The text of the Desktop Tab is black and it’s background is white. If you place the system preferences behind another window then: 1. The text of the Screen Saver Tab is black and it’s background is dark grey. 2. The text of the Desktop Tab is black and it’s background is white. This is on Yosemite 10.10.1 There are no tab controls in the preferences of Safari. If you are referring to Safari’s tabs for web pages then they are not the same controls as the tabbed control that LiveCode are failing to implement correctly. Tab controls in the preferences of Apple Mail work as above. Tab controls in Xojo work as above. Tab controls in the Date Time System Preferences work as above. Apple appear to be consistent to me.
