Going back to licensing fees actually feels like a step back in time to me. I used to work at a college with a vax, a DEC mini, etc. VMS and Ultrix were both "licensed" (If I recall correctly) as were different chunks of the system software such as the networking stack. Our sister college supplied a...

I'm not sure exactly what you're going for, but heres a quick sample that might give you some ideas. local sHilited -- used to keep track of the background color of the field (I used a label field with opaque set to true) on mousedown if sHilited is empty then put false into sHilited --initialize hi...

They're complex, but you might click "sample stacks" on the livecode bar, then search for itunes. There will be 2 stacks, one is from lazy river software (Thomas McGrath) its the itunes library suite. If I recall correctly, it controls itunes using vbscript on windows, and applescript on mac. I'm su...

@dave.. Think of it this way.. You lease a car. Buying is not an option. You want to upgrade some stuff. Nice steering wheel cover, floor mats, whatever <aka add features by paying for 3rd party extensions>. Your only option to get that upgrade is to buy it, but if you do, true you own the that nift...

Wow, scary. And its not new as of 5.5.5.

And yep. 3 buttons on the card, executing delete button 1 and button 1 and button 1 from the msg box kills all 3. Scary, but nifty too.

Hey! My blindness has lifted! I'd make one small additional recommendation. I've just not been seeing that message, entirely my fault. I have been clicking on the "3rd party" on the left which shows 2 products right now. WOuld it be difficult to add a similar note to that page too? Or a "legacy prod...

The website has improved a little. I can actually get to 2 of the products I own. The rest (academies, and a few more extensions) are still lost in the nether, but i'm glad to see some changes going on.

Ah k. Thats the answer then. If you don't have your mac set up to do netbios name resolution, it won't work. Looks like you'll still want to stick with the other method unless you can figure out how to get resolution working. (Its been too long, i'm not sure how) the smbutil method should work fine ...

on a mac its spelled out in full: traceroute

So you'll still have to separate the 2 shell calls.

The purpose is to resolve the local ip of a system on the network. In this case using the netbios name of a windows machine, and getting its ip from a mac. Will tracert do this? I'll have to add it to my toolbox if so!

Did you try get shell("smbutil lookup computername")
?

Don't know if it will work, but curious to know if it does.

Wow, I didn't even see that. (slaps forehead)

if I recall correctly, for this to work on a mac you have to change some netbios stuff in the settings. (since windows networks don't use a standard dns type of server thing) Basically, you'd go into network settings, advanced, go to the WINS tab and set things up so that you're in the right workgro...

This does actually work.. repeat until (the hilite of button "stop") It even works with regular buttons if the mouse is down during the check, but of course would be unreliable under many circumstances unless you just click and hold. The wait with messages is rather important. :) I did this.. repeat...

I'm one who doesn't make a living from LC, though I do quite a bit for friends around here coding whatever they need. I too understand the need to make a living, and don't wish to see RR going the way of the dodo. However, if I were still paying for LC, the whole "reverts" thing would chap my hide t...
