As everything in LC is a string:

Monte's reply seems to do the job, but if you're concerned about the 
numeric format, try


on mouseUp
   put 10.1 into gGlobal1
   put 20.2 into gGlobal2
   put 30.3 into gGlobal3
   put format("%2.1f*%2.1f/cos(%2.1f)", gGlobal1, gGlobal2, gGlobal3)
end mouseUp

or just chang that last line to
   put format("%s*%s/cos(%s)", gGlobal1, gGlobal2, gGlobal3)
if you *really* don't care about the format

Widget TurnImage89_v135

2019-02-11 Thread hh via use-livecode
While making another example stack for the TurnImage widget
I missed some features and added them to the widget.
So we have now in version 1.3.5:

(1) The two images are now also saved with the widget.
(2) The sometimes appearing stripes when animating are gone.
(3) The rotation axes can optionally be set to 9 combinations:
three for the xAxis (top, midth, bottom) by
three for the yAxis (left midth, right).

Feature (3) allows turning pages effects as for books, see the
example in "FlipCards2".

Find the new version of TurnImage on "Sample stacks" or at
http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/929/

The second example stack "FlipCards2" is also available
on "Sample Stacks" or at

Datagridhelper iOS Scroller when using 2 Datagrids on one card

2019-02-11 Thread Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode
Hi,

in an iOS app i need to use 2 Datagrids, lets say DG1 and DG2, on one card.
The datagrids have the same location on the card and are shown and hided
with a button. After adding content to DG1 i send  "DGHiOs_CreateScroller" to 
it to create the scroller.
When i switch to DG2 by setting the visible of DG1 to false and the visbile for 
DG2 to true  and switch back after
some time to DG1 the scroller of DG1 is not working anymore. Sending again 
"DGHiOS_CreateScroller" to it does not work.

Tried also to delete the scroller of DG1 before switching to DG2 and vice versa.

What are the correct steps to get iOS Scrollers working with each of the 
Datagrids?

Is there something special i have to keep in mind?


Regards,

Matthias

Hi Richmond,

Never depend on a beta version for anything.
Especially if it is something important.  Use
a stable version of macOS 10.14.3 and see
if you get the same result.

I think the mothership gave up support for
version 8 when version 9 was released,
I’m not sure if the community still supports
version 8 though, perhaps they still do?

Let us know what you find out.

Replacing GlobalNames with Global Values

Hi all,

I can’t seem to come up with a succinct way of doing this:

I have a mathematical expression such as

 gGlobal1*gGlobal2/cos(gGlobal3) = SomeValue

and I want to replace the global names with the values previously saved to 
those Globals so as to show the entire expression with individual global values 
filled in, e.g. 

number1*number2/cos(number3) = SomeValue



I would appreciate your help.

Hi Rick,

well it was a year or 2 back, there was a message that it would send 
device info and god knows what else data back to them(not just virus 
info), which i could not decline other then get rid of it.


Maybe in the meanwhile, with the GDPR stuff, they've changed it. But it 
was the reason why i kicked it off. And then i don't go back to it, even 
if it's for free. My trust was gone.


Even in NL last year it was issued not to use Kaspersky anymore. 
Although Kasperksy claimed to not be involved with russian government 
actions. They even moved to Switzerland if i'm correct, to gain confidence.

Jerry

Richard, 

Yes I noticed it was Linux, so supposedly LiveCode could run on it.
I was just hoping for a confirmation from someone.

If I get a Librem laptop I suppose I can answer the question myself,
and thankfully cut out the middle man. Doh, I guess that would be you. ;-)

RE: Bay Area Maker Faire

2019-02-11 Thread Ralph DiMola via use-livecode
Thanks for the Heads up we're coming in on Thursday! 

The early bird price is $99 for the conference only. You can now buy a la
cart. Add-ons include the party and the one-on-ones... If you add up all the
add-ons it comes to $595.(what I did).

Agreed, the website should have a more obvious conference link.

I liked when the conference price included the hotel. It was not only
convenient one-stop-shopping but also had the advantage that everyone was in
the same hotel(or two). Group rates are always lower. We're staying at the
Hotel Clariana. It looks to be 2 blocks from the theater. No legend on the
map so I don't actually know how long those blocks are.

Srsly? The earlybird conference price has now dropped to $99? WTF? My

you're having trouble getting people to sign up for the conference then
maybe that's because THERE'S NO MENTION OF IT ON THE WEBSITE. How about

Problem solved, but first:
I found that BitDefender kept deleting the “Safe Application” setting for 
“Livecode Business 9.0.2”, so it blocked writing to the Devo Prefs file. The OS 
wouldn’t let me delete the library files associated with BitDefender. I also 
found that there were un-fixable errors in my boot drive, which is an SSD 
drive. I wanted to delete all anti-virus files and CleanMyMac, which contained 
both version 3 and X. I also needed to deal with the boot drive disc errors, 
which DiskUtility couldn’t fix. I was going to have to completely erase and 
reformat the boot drive. Fortunately, my boot drive was still functioning 
mostly normally.

First I booted my computer from an external drive that I had created a couple 
of weeks ago using SuperDuper. Then I deleted all Library files related to 
BitDefender and CleanMyMac. I think I got all of them, but may have missed 
something.

Next I created a disc image big enough to hold all of my boot drive content (on 
an external drive), so I could restore it after reformatting. I used SuperDuper 
to copy my boot drive content to the disc image. Then I reformatted my original 
boot drive and after that, used SuperDuper to copy the disc image contents back 
to my original boot drive.

I checked that the Devo prefs were being updated correctly, and yes, they were. 
Problem solved.

I’m a bit afraid to leave off a virus protection program though. Anybody have 
recommendations?

Re: Datagrid Table - Allow editing a field only when an other field contains data

2019-02-11 Thread Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode
Same here.

mostly of the time i  just use the dgText property to fill and read the table 
content of a datagrid, because i use the DG only as "normal" table, but with DG 
features the normal table field does not have, like easy column resizing, 
column reorder. This and the awesome Datagrid Helper from Zryip is all i need 
to get it working.
The DGH plugin is so powerful and it´s so easy to configure and modify the DG.

But sometimes there is a need to go deeper into the DG api and that´s where i 
always get stuck. ;)

to be sure if anyone actually is.


If you'd like to have a Librem laptop sent to my office I'll be able to 
answer that question affirmatively. :)

Richard, 

Is anyone running LiveCode on it yet?

+1 I know Windows people sometimes think this is a bit reckless, bordering on 
arrogant, but facts is facts as they say, and for whatever reason, MacOS has 
very few exploits, and all that I have seen require the end user to do 
something foolish, like click OK in a dialog which they have no reason to 
expect.

Re: Datagrid Table - Allow editing a field only when an other field contains data

2019-02-11 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
Yeah, when we first began to brainstorm about a real table object, some people 
wanted just a simple row,column object where each column, row or cell could be 
formatted a certain way. Others asked for more complex things. What we got then 
was a programmable table object that a developer could code to do pretty much 
anything he wanted it to do. The datagrid library is like a new extension of 
Livecode Script. 

What I find however as with other languages I've dabbled in, is that I never 
need or use the full set of commands and functions, but only a subset of them 
as needed, and I become very familiar with those. I code out of necessity. :-) 
As a result I'm pretty good with tables, but customizing display based on data 
I haven't toyed with much, and form datagrids not at all.

Re: Datagrid Table - Allow editing a field only when an other field contains data

2019-02-11 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
I don't know why I didn't know about this. Is it something new in the Datagrid 
Library? I have been getting the hilitedIndex, then the dataOfIndex, then the 
value of one of the keys. Sometimes all I need is one value, so this is much 
better!
