Re: get name of flashdrive.
The old thread I posted was referring to a task where someone wanted to implement a security measure like this, by interrogating the volumes and extracting the unique id of the removable device. There were some code samples based on vbcript usage to do this on Windows. I don't know if this is still ...

Re: get name of flashdrive.
That wasn't what I was answering. Windows uses volume names for drive referencing (by humans). LiveCode returns a resolved file path on Windows which invariably has a drive letter.

Re: get name of flashdrive.
Windows has always used volume names. Those volumes may or may not be assigned a drive letter.

Re: get name of flashdrive.
There is a very old thread on the topic of interrogating volumes on Windows.
I don't know whether any of it still applies.

Re: Auto Focus On Edit Field
I think there might still be issues on mobile (not that I have encountered such in my usage) where not only does the first field take focus, it pops up the virtual keyboard. Hence the single pixel focus trick. Jwack would know.

Re: Issue with with images in arrays
does it cease to be considered to be an image object? Should I stop thinking about objects? Essentially yes And no. It's hard to explain but although there are "controls" (objects) and "containers" in LC this isn't how you're trying to do things. Jacque could probably describe things better. But yo...

Re: LiveCode 9 quits unexpectedly
You say "quits unexpectedly" but you also say "freezes" and "unresponsive". Before trying too much blind troubleshooting, do you have the backdrop on? I wonder whether you have a hidden dialog box waiting for you to click "ok" or respond to a prompt to save the stack before the build proceeds? Other...

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
I said There are various ways to get there but a quick way: Press Windows key+R to bring up the Run box Type "control mmsys.cpl,,2" and hit enter. (Don't include the quotes but do include the double commas.) As I said, one way, and a quick way. Anyone used to using terminal would probably agree. Loa...

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
Uh, that's what I said. And there are many ways to reach that interface. Using a typed command was simpler to describe than trying to lead someone through "click that,tab that". The point I wanted to stress is that replacing a default Windows beep isn't going to "make music" which is what the OP wan...

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
You can save a new sound scheme with your own imported sounds, as I mentioned above. You have to save the scheme, then choose each alert notification type, and browse to the sound file you want the OS to play when that alert notification is triggered. I just don't see that playing an individual beep...

Re: Android 9 TV Box: acting on remote control
Reading up, it seems like a tactic of spammers to target dormant forum accounts. One suggestion I saw would be to force accounts inactive for 6 or 12 months to re-authenticate via email before accepting the post.

Re: Android 9 TV Box: acting on remote control
It's clear that this latest is not a valid post. I think there has been a spate of spam recently from forum accounts that were registered a few years ago and have been dormant for some time. I don't know whether there's been some hacker-compromised accounts or something but there does seem to be a t...
