RE: lingo-l mouse selection doesn't work in projector

Without trying to sound patronising, it sounds like the field has had editable set to false, can you see the text cursor in the field when you click on it? Can you select the text by any other method, e.g. by using shift with the cursors? -Original Message- From: Michael von Aichberger

lingo-l Collating multiple returns from sendAllSprites

Hi list A minor conundrum is at hand. I'm building a simple form and one question consists of a number of checkboxes, each one with its own unique numeric value. They are checkboxes because the user can select any number of them. When the form is submitted I want to total up the values returned

Re: lingo-l Collating multiple returns from sendAllSprites

I use a simpler, sloppier technique: global someglobal someglobal = 0 sendallsprites #GetCheckboxValues, myCheckboxGroupID and in the sprites: on GetCheckboxValues me, groupID global someglobal if groupID = pThisGroupID and someglobal then someglobal = someglobal + pMyValue end [To

lingo-l Exitlock=true, titlebar=true - closebutton doesn't work?

Hey all -- trying to do the old school 'see quitscreen before exiting' thing in 2004. I've got exitlock to true, and am only showing the closebutton on the titlebar; I've got a main movie handler of 'on closewindow' but it doesn't seem to be getting called; when exitlock is true the closebutton

Re: lingo-l Collating multiple returns from sendAllSprites

Try the old pass a list reference trick -- calling routine resultList = [ 0 ] sendAllSprites(#GetCheckboxValues, myCheckboxGroupID, resultList) put resultList[1] -- inside the checkbox behaviour property pThisGroupID -- unique ID for this checkbox group property pSelected -- boolean for checked

Re: lingo-l Collating multiple returns from sendAllSprites

The problem is though is that the return value for, say, checkbox #2 will overwrite the value of checkbox #1 before i can collate all results to total them up, and given my post-injury fatigue my brain has gone dead on how to get around it lol. You could try passing a list around: -- calling

Re: lingo-l Collating multiple returns from sendAllSprites

You can use a list (untested, but the idea is right): someList = [] sendallsprites(#GetCheckboxValues, myCheckboxGroupID, someList) nItems = count(someList) and in the sprites: on GetCheckboxValues me, groupID, aList if groupID = pThisGroupID and someglobal then append(aList,

Re: lingo-l Collating multiple returns from sendAllSprites

Cheers Rob and Cole Just after sending the e-mail the thought of using a list did pop into my head, although I wasn't sure in what capacity. Thanks a bunch - you saved me a job lol Cheers! Ross [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to

lingo-l Time arithmetic

Is there a built-in way to do time arithmetic like you do date arithmetic? I can get the number of days between two dates with something like date(, mm, dd) - date (, mm, dd) (thanks to those who provided that info last week). Now I'm looking for a way to get the number of minutes,

RE: lingo-l Time arithmetic

Why not subtract the second and the day, then add the seconds to the days * 86400? -Chuck -- Chuck Neal CEO, MediaMacros, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mediamacros.com -- Check out the Developers Mall Your one stop shop for all your Director
