Re: Rotated Text?

If you want better print result you can scale the textfield first by factor 2 or 4, import a snapshot and then rescale the image. LiveCode will now use the extra data when printing. I’ve tried this code on a button: on mouseUp lock screen put the rect of field 1 into tRect put the textS

Page Curl revisited

This is a bit like Leslie Nielson in one of the 'Naked Gun' films when he separated from Priscilla Presley: "I faked my page curls" (something slightly wrong with that quote; obviously age is getting to me . . . LOL): anyway, for what it's worth: http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19

Re: Quitting a Standalone Problem

Hi Charles, No, I don't think the "bug" was solved. The bug you're referring ro is probably that the engine stays running in memory after closing all stacks. This is my standard script: on quitThisApp lock messages -- MySql -- put revOpenDatabases() into myDatabases -- repeat fo

Print margins

I want to make software to generate a printed newsletter. First I did the page layout in HTML so I could use revBrowserPrint to print it. But to my amazement it didn't fill the whole A4 sheet. The layout was scaled down to 16 cm wide (instead of 21). So I did the math and scaled up the entire la

Re: Print margins

Hi Terry, For my envelopes and labels, I create a stack of exactly the same size as my paper, set the printMargins to 0,0,0,0 and then I print the card. For multiple pages, I use open printing (with dialog), refresh the data on the card and print the card again, until all data has been printed

OT: PencilCase

Anybody hear of PencilCase yet? According to their site, it’s “HyperCard reimagined”. This seems to be specifically targeted at mobile apps, so LiveCode still has some major advantages, but this does provide some interesting features. Thoughts? -- Chris Sheffield Read Naturally, Inc. www.read

iOS: auto-capitalization with ask dialog

I thought this was possible, but now I’m not finding anything. How does one set the auto-capitalization options when using the basic ask dialog in an iOS app? Is it not possible? I see you can set it when creating a native text input control. I’m probably missing something obvious… Thanks, Chr

Re: OT: PencilCase

The video I linked to is over 3 minutes long. The language it uses is JavaScript, not Java. My guess about AppDrop is that documents get stored there, and an app shell can download and run the document. As part of the deal you get, you can have a certain number of slots, 5 in the case of the $1

Re: OT: PencilCase

My thought about that is that if you are trying to make a tool for “the rest of us” to be able to program interesting apps, in 1987 it would be HyperCard, and in 2014 it would be PencilCase. So, it’s reimagining the intent of the tool, not the implementation. On Mar 27, 2014, at 6:18 PM, Nakia
