Hi folks, Just a simple question (I hope). I usually include an "Oops" key in my answer dialogues, but on this particular occasion I want to offer three...
Hi, Dave. Happy New Year. You can add the "without cancel" parameter to your answer statement to disable any response to Esc or Command-period. I don't think...
Hi Lisa, and a Happy New Year to you. :-) Thanks for your quick reply. Yes I found the "without cancel" in the help file, but it sort of does the opposite to...
If you don't include "without cancel" then Esc and cmd-. are mapped to the default cancel button *position*, which is second from the right. Rather than the...
... Ah, I see. I suppose that's something to do with the OSX protocols. ... Yeh, but my problem is I need to provide 3 choices in addition to the cancel...
I see now. I thought you needed 3 buttons total, not 3 plus cancel. So ask list could work as John suggested. Are you sure, though, there isn't a way for the...
... Well, not really. All it is, is I have a button that grabs a heap of text I've copied to the clipboard from another application. The dialogue is to ask me...
Hi, I have just updated the ExifRead external. It now returns the data in comma separated format to allow SC to sort the data before it is placed in a cd fld. ...
If the textArrows is set to true, then those four keys should be handled appropriately (at least they are with my standard-issue keyboard). I don't know if...
Hello! I began using SuperCard many moons ago back when it was with Allegiant. After several years and job changes, I no longer needed a development program....
... Set the backdrop to black From the SLG: The backdrop window covers the screen of all currently attached monitors, and will absorb all mouse clicks. Because...
Thanks - I had forgotten the backdrop settings. That's what happens when you don't use a program in several years. Sent from my iPhone ... [Non-text portions...
One of the difficulties I had converting a large HyperCard application was the difference in message passing. In HC I made extensive use of the "dynamic"...
... Thus the advantage of writing functions instead of handlers and calling them via. The only pitfall is that the parameters are interpreted in the context of...
Stéphane, Is this actually correct? The user guide suggests the following: " Calling "out-of-path" functions with via permits scripts to call function...
... Well, I get the "can't send messages to closed card, windows or project" when trying to get a function via another card than the current one, I've just...
I've mapped out a string of 6 cd grcs named Px1, Px2 etc. Above are cd flds named p1, p2 etc. that the picture number is entered into. I created 6 cd grcs by...
Hi, It does not work when the card is in another project. get test() via cd 1 of window "tester" of project "testerA" If "testerA" is already open in SC it...
... I also tried with a closed window. Same result. Experiment (trying) is always right against theory (reading the doc). This is the scientific method ;-) S. ...
Hi Lowell, I would bet that it is a path error. You should start by scrutinizing the paths the script is generating to the grc for the picturedata. There is...
Ian: I found the culprit... Two hidden cd grcs that were suppose to be bg grcs that were created some time ago but never used. (They had the same name.)...
I am trying to use the transparency feature in the ink settings. I have a logo on a solid background. I want the background to go transparent. I am using...
... Did you set the showfill of the graphic to false ? S. __________________ Stéphane Leys http://modulopi.pagesperso-orange.fr http://edouardleystrio.com/...
Nope - didn't know about that. Been a long time since I worked with SC. I assume I do that in the open card handler just before I set the opColor as I don't...
... The showfill is a property of a graphic. So, you set it once and it persists until you change it and it applies only to this grc. S. __________________ ...
