Can you post your code? I didn't see that. Here's mine for the two tests I did, and a simple put after looks 50% faster (90mb vs. 60mb): Variable by reference: 6000 on mouseUp put 10 + the long seconds into T repeat repeat 10 append "xx", R end repeat

A field with shared text will not keep its text when it is copied or placed on another card, presumably because each card has its own text. A field without shared text will carry its text with it. "Dr. Hawkins" wrote: >I ran into this before about a year ago . . . > >I pull the html text fro

Re: Trying a custom handler for several math fields

Hi Vaughn Klaus beat me to it. You should understand that the message path looks after the passing of the message from the control on the card to the card itself. I mean any handler that calls 'doMath' in the control will rely on the engine to look for the definition of the handler, and if it i

Re: Trying a custom handler for several math fields

OK, I think you need to understand the message path. Messages are initiated by user actions or by your own scripts. The most common user actions are things like mousedown", "mouseup", "mousemove", "enterfield", "closefield", etc., but there are many more of them as well. When the user clicks on

Re: Trying a custom handler for several math fields

Vaughn. LC is event driven. In order to run your "doMath" handler, a "doMath" message must be generated. Now how to do this? 1- You could send the message directly from some object, or the message box. (send "doMath" to this card) 2- A system message generated by some other action might wor

Vaughn. Got it. Since LC uses strings as its base unit, it does require a bit more management. Of course, this also offers exquisite control over those strings. So although Excel, for example, knows that a value of "$50" in a cell is in actuality a number, LC does not. It is quite literal th

Vaughn. YOU WERE A HC USER??!!?? Sorry. Ahem. But then you must remember that you cannot add "$50" to "15". xTalks are typeless, and the parser resolves strings into usable form purely by context. So you can only add strings that resolve to numbers. Would this be immediately understanda
