Inter process communication

2015-09-30 Thread Ethan L
Greetings  Has anyone done any work on inter process communications between two livecode instances.  Specifically, I would like to be able to have a client instance (eg iPhone LC app) make native LC commands calls to a remote instance (eg UNIX LC server) while masking / embedding all of the plum

I wondered if the textShift would help and found this works too; on textChanged set the textShift of last char of me to the textShift of last char of me end textChanged So I imagine there are probably other commands that will instantly update the text without affecting what has been typed, bu

Hi Bernd, I thought I had tried "do script" but I will try again. I will also try the raw code for "do script" as suggested. Thanks for filing a bug report on the missing Applescript dictionary! i On Sat, Sep 26, 2015 at 3:40 PM, BNig wrote: > Hi ilsa, > > if you use LC 7.0.6 then > > -

Livecode V8.0 (dp 5) problem

This is just an irritating little thing, but it’s been going on for more than a decade. While you are typing in English “g j p q y” all get cut off on the bottom. Here is an example: http://imgur.com/Wc1yvsM It only happens while the field is focused for typing and if you hit return or click
