Property Sheet for LC (was Re: Right click in field for menu)

2022-06-03 Thread Richard Gaskin via use-livecode
Inspectors are great in consumer tools because they provide a convenient way for less technical types to access the relatively small number of properties needed for the narrow range of tasks most consumer apps provide. Property Sheets are the go-to for most professional development tools becau

Hi Doc thanks for the response. I am using aes256 encryption so an ascii hash is not viable. If this were a file based sqLite database I could perhaps change the encoding. Maybe I can with a :memory: database too! Here's my code. I have posted this before, it's an incredibly useful handler. If y

Jean-Jacques In 9.6.8 the number of chars of (numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 5 As it should be. Did you mean the number of words? But then the number of words of (numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) =

A couple of lines of code with declarations, storing, and retrieving would probably help. There also might be a UTF issue (which would be beyond me)—a hash should be in good old 6.5 bit ASCII, not something newfangled with eight or more bits. ___ us

bob bobbled, > How should I define a column in sqLite that is going to properly store and > retrieve a password hash? Simply using a BLOB type doesn't do it. You shouldn’t need a BLOB for a hash. Either CHAR(), VARCHAR(), or TEXT. With the first two, you need to specify a long enough length.

Right now I am querying for the hash directly from the source database when I need it. Just curious why sqLite cannot handle storing an encrypted string. Bob S > On Jun 3, 2022, at 14:29 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi all. > > I have set up a kind of database caching metho

storing binary data in a "memory" database

Hi all. I have set up a kind of database caching method where I take currently selected data in my display form and save it in a :memory: database. Everything works EXCEPT that the value for the encrypted hash is getting corrupted. It's not coming back the way it was stored. It looks like it i

I get a compile error when using your syntax. If I insert the word "of" after "chars" I get 5 for version 9.6.8 as you would expect. Do you have the *actual* syntax that is causing you the problem? . Bob S > On Jun 3, 2022, at 06:56 , Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi, >

Hi Look up numToChar in the dictionary. It's been deprecated since v7 0 because of unicode. This might explain things. Hope that helps Ian McKnight On Fri, 3 Jun 2022, 14:57 Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode, < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi, > Version 6.7word boudary are ch
