Datagrids have this feature, so yes, I would expect there to be some way to specify what kind of sort you want to do. But it would have to be on a per column basis. But if you are sorting the text yourself, you can use the syntax: sort lines of tText by item n of each. I don't think any

Re: Right click in field for menu

I didn't know mouse events were handled in an unlocked field! Nice to know. Curiously however, in that handler I substituted a put statement for the popup command using send "put " & quote & "this worked" & quote to me in 2 seconds In two seconds I get "worked" not "this worked" in the

Re: Case sensitivity in Livecode ??

Not only that, but revOpenDatabase("sqlite", ":MEMORY:") will not work on Windows, but DOES on Mac. revOpenDatabase("sqlite", ":memory:") works on both platforms. Do you know why?? No you do not. No one knows, and will likely NEVER know. LOL! I suppose :memory: is a kind of system constant?!?

Re: Android,iOS stay in background?

It's my understanding that iOS does not "load" apps like Android or other operating systems do. It simply "activates" apps already in "memory". The app may allocate more memory for itself of course, or access other services that are constantly running. Bob S > On May 30, 2022, at 23:53 ,

Re: Maximum length of mySQL request ?

There may be an environment variable you need to set to increase it. Because it's network based, it stands to reason that an unlimited query string can be exploited as a denial of service strategy. Bob S > On May 24, 2022, at 10:19 , doc hawk via use-livecode > wrote: > > When opening a

One word solution: Don't. (Actually two words it's a contraction. Word's grammar checker would probably have corrected that.) Bob S > On May 24, 2022, at 04:00 , Mark Smith via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hello list, > > Do you use anything to make code look more readable when inserted into

Re: Is it a bug?

If you are seeing a different behavior then perhaps something in my code is doing it. I'll check the executionContexts to see. Bob S > On May 23, 2022, at 14:03 , Ralph DiMola via use-livecode > wrote: > > I also expect nothing is done if I click on anything and move the mouse > outside

Is it a bug?

I found one thing I think is a bug, and I'd like to report it, but I want to see if anyone else thinks this may be the expected behavior: It seems to me that when clicking and holding the mouse button down on an pulldown menu, then releasing outside that menu so that no menu item is actually
