Re: HTML5 deployment: progress comes into sight

JavaScript via the browser would be huge. There are tens of thousands of JavaScript libraries that could be used by livecoders to add bleeding edge UI elements & websockets to their applications via lc script. It would allow livecode to communicate with the real-time web without lcb ( which only

Re: forcing a number to be interpreted as a field name

When you say "forms" do you mean "web forms" or PDF forms? It may not matter much. I wrote an interface which allows the user to associate a database column with a PDF form control. Much the same thing could be done which would allow you to call your form fields anything you like. Populating

Re: insanely long delays when moving several selected objects

I think anything that is displaying properties of any controls will cause this. It has to intercept the engine and update the displayed settings each time anything changes. Otherwise you would not get real time updates to these properties in any open windows. Bob S > On May 30, 2017, at

Re: forcing a number to be interpreted as a field name

You shouldn't use numbers and constants as names for fields. One and 1 are identical and field "one" as well as field "1" may be interpreted as the first field rather than the field with name "one" or "1". Instead always start control names with a letter or a symbol that isn't a number. For

forcing a number to be interpreted as a field name

I have, due to the government's wisdom, checkboxes I have to use to display numeric values. I've created my own to make them the right size, and to function as parts of groups. But looping through, with the fields in these things named for the possible values (usually text), I have to refer to

That happens to me as well. Closing the PI definitely fixes that. Bob S > On May 30, 2017, at 14:34 , Dr. Hawkins via use-livecode > wrote: > > I few minutes ago, I selected about three dozen fields in two groups, and > tapped up-arrow several times. > > I

Re: insanely long delays when moving several selected objects

The workaround might be to close the property inspector- however that of course depends on whether the PI is open while you are experiencing this currently. On Tue, May 30, 2017 at 10:34 PM Dr. Hawkins via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > I few minutes ago, I selected about

insanely long delays when moving several selected objects

I few minutes ago, I selected about three dozen fields in two groups, and tapped up-arrow several times. I had *thought* that the slowmove bug was long gone, but apparently not. Simply groping them to move isn't a viable workaround; the point was that I needed space in the middle of the group.
