WordReport Registration

[Bernard Devlin via use-livecode]

Hi all

I've got a copy of this as part of one of my previous Livecode purchases.
How does one go about using the registration code?

The "Try WordReport" stack says either to buy a registration code *or* to
simply use the code if one has it. Neither of the PDF files which come with
the stack explains how to use the registration code.

I'd contact the provider of the software but I've seen numerous messages
saying he doesn't respond to emails that I thought I'd ask an existing user.

Regards
Bernard

Perhaps a team member can come in? And corrects this/explains this better:

0x200B is probably not in LC's word-break table (for word wrapping)
because it is usually used to indicate optional hyphenation locations.
And there is no hyphenation in LC's field implementation. So it would
be wrong to add this to the (full-)word-break table.

And the hair space (0x200A) is, of course, of advantage against a space
only if you don't use a fixed-width font.

Re: Xcode for El Capitan

[Rick Harrison via use-livecode]

Hi Paul,

If your company had been doing at least a Time Machine backup you wouldn’t 
have had "the Mavericks box crashed really really hard - completely 
unrecoverable.”
Make sure you are backing up all of your computers from now on so you
don’t have that experience again.

The Apple Developer site is pretty inadequate even for Apple Developers.
I think the problem is that they write from the standpoint as they understand
things, and they fail to write it for someone who might be encountering the
information for the first time.  They should have new people evaluate their
site whenever possible, but they don’t do that for some reason.  They should
also provide videos on their various subjects, but they don’t do that either.

Fortunately, there are some nice youtube.com  videos that 
others have
made that can help out.  Unfortunately some of them are outdated or
are not of sufficient screen quality that one can determine what they
are doing.  

You will have to wade through the mess like the rest of us.  It takes a
lot of extra patience and too much extra time before success happens.
Hopefully someone will come up with some better instructions and
videos some day.

Good luck, and hopefully some others on this list can point you to
some better resources.

Rick

Re: Xcode for El Capitan

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

Thank you everyone for the tips.

Some background explanation: For better or worse, we do our LiveCode 
development on Windows and we only use OSX for (1) Code signing 
(AppWrapper) and packaging in a DMG (DropDMG) and (2) QA testing of the 
app for OSX (done by others in our company). We have a OSX 10.9.5 
(Mavericks) system set up with out Certificates in out Keychain, the 
appropriate version of Xcode, AppWrapper 2.x, and DropDMG and everything 
was working very nicely. We only do a couple applications for OSX 
available on our website, not via the App store and no iOS apps.


Then, the Mavericks box crashed really really hard - completely 
unrecoverable. So we moved on to another available OSX box with El 
Capitan and are trying to reconstruct a signing environment. We now have 
XCode 8.2.1 and AppWrapper 3 and DropDMG, but we're having problems 
getting our Certificates (downloaded from the Apple Developer site) into 
the KeyChain in a way where they are recognized by AppWrapper.


It has been so long since this was last setup, everything has changed. 
Can folks point me to any documentation or guidance that simplifies 
this? I have found the Apple Developer site to be far far too "apple 
developer speak" for me to get any meaningful guidance from.


Thank you in advance.

Datagrid Refresh

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Continuing to work on Datagrid
 
I can't figure out refresh. (9.2 stable)

1) I click on the inspector for the datagrid
2) Click on row template
3) Select to group
4) Edit the group, 
5) Make my field "rowName" non-opaque with a few light text color.
6) A linear gradient to background. It is opaque and visible
7) Save the group rowTemple
8) Hit refresh on the inspector for the datagrid
Result: I see the  nearly white text of the fld "rowName" but the background is 
white and does not show the gradient. Thinking "hmm, datagrid does not support 
gradient.." switch the background color to simple black, visible, opaque 
--*still* it does not appear refresh?

What do I do to refresh to datagrid? see

http://wiki.hindu.org/screenshots/datagrid-refresh.png


Also, secondary question: where does the  rect of pControlRect and  
pWorkingrect come from? 

If I put

on LayoutControl pControlRect, pWorkingRect
   put pControlrect&CR&pWorkingRect

I get the same result. It seems we don't have control over these rects?

You are right. It's getting complicated :-) So why does 200A allow wrapping
and 200B does not?

Re: Setting hidden of lines very slow

[Kaveh Bazargan via use-livecode]

Hi Jim

Normally I want the text to be editable most of the time, so it needs to be
in the field, but just hidden. But i can definitely see uses for your
suggestion of having different "views" instantly available.

Regards
Kaveh
