Re: Trying to use the Segmented Control
@ Ralf Bitter Dear Ralf, I downloaded your segmented control from: https://github.com/revig/universal-button-widget/releases/tag/1.0.1 and I installed the widget using the Extension Manager in the IDE. It looks very nice. Exactly what allows control and even change the behavior. First time users should know that the custom properties (as described by you) are custom properties of the group "menuBtnGrp". For a first time, two visible switches would probably allow users to just test without having to look under the hood. Since I must build such button groups dynamically (users can add or remove modules which then appear put on the navigation bar that is constiung of such "buttons") I will just need to script this a bit in more detail. I also wrote my own bar using a table field where I mimic the hiliting and hover (mouseover) effect when moving the mouse over lines or using arrow keys (up and down. It looks like a button bar when using an image source for a first character. But it does not work for SVG as far as I know. And it only works for vertical "bars". On the other hand, it is very easy to dynamically create and remove lines. Actually, I track the mousemove and detect the line number and then place a transparent graphic over the selected line. This gives more control than using the built-in hilited property. If someone is interested, I can send... So, thanks a lot to you for providing this, and I am sure I will have fun using it...

Re: Will Browser widget ever work on Linux?
Thanks for all the inputs gentlemen I agree on the need for cross platform embedded browser support. Will LC use another embedded browser for the mac? So I guess there are more questions than answers here in terms of a 3 platform solution. I have my first ssd sitting in the box, and once i install it i will try not to take it for granted when judging the "performance" of my work.

RE: return "error" code from standalone compile
I use AUTOHOTKEY... as a fast, dirty way to "get stuff done" when I'm either too lazy or too rushed to do a "quality" job with Livecode. It has a command called "Run" & "Runwait" ... which returns the calling program's (Livecode executable, in this case) return code into a predefined variable called "ErrorLevel" (how original!). So a line in a AUTOHOTKEY script for this would look like: cmd = c:\livecode\SomeLiveCode.exe RunWait, %cmd%,,UseErrorLevel exitcode := ErrorLevel if (exitcode > 1) Autohotkey takes some getting used to but I think it's a handy addition to development projects.. since AHK scripts can be compiled into executables, themselves.

Nope - not funky. Container syntax can be either a variable (with array indices or without), or an object chunk which has a notion of 'text' (i.e. button, field, image). If it is a variable then the variable gets modified. If it is an object chunk then the text of the object gets changed. Variables are only treated as (potential) object chunks when being evaluated as a source, and only then if the thing operating on them expects an object. e.g. the blendLevel of tObject (property syntax only makes sense when targetting an object chunk, so the contents of tObject are parsed as a control chunk). Indeed, if this wasn't the case then you wouldn't ever be able to change tObject in the following script: local tObject put the long id of field 1 into tObject -- If variable containers (targets) resolved as objects first: put "foo" into tObject -- this would set the text of the field to "foo" Warmest Regards, Mark. -- Mark Waddingham ~ m...@livecode.com ~ http://www.livecode.com/ LiveCode: Everyone can create apps ___ 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

Printing a com.livecode.widget.browser
Clearly you can’t print a card that contains a browser widget as livecode is unable to do this. I don’t understand why because Safari can and I believe they are both based on webkit. Anyway I have come up with a semi acceptable workflow that involves. 1. Exporting a screenshot of the screen with the widget into a variable. 2. Pasting via script into a LC image object. 3. Then print the portion of the card containing the image. The problem is this. I have both the image and widget on the same card and hide the widget when I want to print the image and vice versa when going back to the widget. There is a noticeable flash when hiding and showing the objects. I am looking for ideas as to how I can minimise this flash or camouflage it for the user.

Re: return "error" code from standalone compile
Every application can have its own exit codes, but 0 should always be used for success and 1 for error. Although there are exceptions. The Dos Find command for example returns 1 when the search was successfull but nothing was found. You could use exit codes for example in batch files. The batch file runs a program and according to the exit code of that program the batch file executes the next command or application or what ever. The OS is not interested in the exit codes. ;) But maybe the batch file or program that executed the other app. I am using this feature for example in some of my LC app where i execute a 3rd party command line tool using shell(). 'The result' then contains the exit code. Important: If the exit code is 0 then 'the result' is empty.
