Re: "send" vs "dispatch"

Probably the “in time” variant along with parity. The PR also opens up sending to widget handlers which is what I’m waiting for. Thanks, Brian On Oct 5, 2018, 9:36 PM -0400, Geoff Canyon via use-livecode , wrote: > Is there a benefit to adding parameters to send? Or does this just bring it > int

Re: "send" vs "dispatch"

Is there a benefit to adding parameters to send? Or does this just bring it into parity/redundancy with dispatch? On Fri, Oct 5, 2018 at 3:16 PM Brian Milby via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > There is a PR to change this: > https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/6479 >

Re: "send" vs "dispatch"

If you have multiple parameters, dispatch is easier, cleaner, and safer. So even if I don't have parameters, unless I need a time delay I use dispatch. Also, you can use dispatch function to call functions. gc On Fri, Oct 5, 2018 at 3:16 PM Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.ru

Re: "send" vs "dispatch"

Ha -- there are about 7,000 lines of code in Navigator -- I think that means I've written about...70,000 lines of code? :-) But in any case, there are 80 instances of Dispatch and 63 instances of Send in Navigator. My next step I think is to learn more about how Sublime Text handles find and repl

Re: "send" vs "dispatch"

I’m finding it’s best to do this when you “send” and have a parameter: send “test ha” to button 1 Peter Bogdanoff ArtsInteractive > On Oct 5, 2018, at 3:08 PM, Geoff Canyon via use-livecode > wrote: > > A word to the wise (mostly for IDE and extension developers): this will > successfully co

Re: "send" vs "dispatch"

I've written over 30 000 lines of code in livecode. used dispatch once. :) On Fri, Oct 5, 2018 at 6:09 PM Geoff Canyon via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > A word to the wise (mostly for IDE and extension developers): this will > successfully compile: > >send "

"send" vs "dispatch"

A word to the wise (mostly for IDE and extension developers): this will successfully compile: send "test" to button 1 with "ha" And then if the IDE is swallowing up your error messages (as it does for extensions like Navigator) it will even deliver the message "test" to button 1, just without

Hi JIm, your suggestion could work but the floating window is quicker and does the job, thanks for giving it a whirl around. On Fri, Oct 5, 2018 at 5:32 PM Jim Lambert via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > > Herman wrote: > > > > See my demo here: > > > > http://forums.live

Except that the "Red dot" breakpoints cannot be trusted at all, the "breakpoint" command has never failed in v8. or earlier. Must be a v9 issue, but I am surprised nobody has mentioned it till now. Craig Newman -- Sent from: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Revolution-User-f2783

Re: Will it ever be possible place controls over browser widget?

Hi Tom, How about dragging the widget off of the visible screen? You could create your own interface look for it, or for whatever you are trying to do, and have that send messages to the offscreen widget to process. Then send the results of the widget back to your graphic interface? It might
