Do you have Administrator privileges?

No.
I did mention the machine was locked down - so no admin access. Otherwise it wouldn't be locked down would it
UAC set to same as invoker - so should not be issue and I've built on this before without problems...

Hi all, I have installed LC on my work machine (Windows 10, heavily secured by my hospital, so the issue may be there). LC runs and works fine. However I cannot build for Windows as it keeps throwing the same error: LC build error.jpg This happens in both LC 9.6.9 and 10 DP7. It happens regardless o...

This is an important and recurring topic and clearly a potential risk for newer users. I know there’s been a blog post on this but what it really needs is an in-depth lesson showing best practices for common scenarios (password hashing, API keys etc). The lesson needs to be good enough that new user...

This solution was proposed as a security measure but is not really secure… So whether drive letter or volume name or even knowing it is running from a USB drive using something like Linux’s usbUtils, this won’t prevent anyone from copying to usb and using anywhere/anyway. Hard to prevent that kind o...

In a similar situation, wait did not work for me - the field would still receive the focus. In the end I had the traversalOn of the field set to false by default and set to true on tabKey, mouseDown (on locked fields) and openField in unlocked fields; and had then to set it to false on closeField/ex...

I suspect this may be part of the new LC 10 interface if/when that is finally released… I would hope so anyway, we can but wait’n’see…

Cross platform may be a challenge as I don’t think Windows handles dark mode as well as MacOS (or didn’t used to anyway).

Yes, agreed!!

Also not forgetting the original developers of HyperCard, who broke ground with the very concept of xTalk…

I should also add that if there is uncertainty about what long name/long id are, using the msgBox you can just type put the long name of image "sheep" & return & the long id of image "sheep" You'll see that unless using short name, the control type is prepended so in your case, you don't need to inc...

Thanks for all the replies, appreciate it. The "dispatch" idea from Stam looks like my most likely solution. Sounds like everyone would really like a textChanged to be trigged when setting text by code. Seems logical to me. Hey Lance, Another variation of that, which I use a lot in groups, is to us...

Hi Udi, really nice effort. I'm not sure the performance issues are due to your PowerPC though - I experience latency on an M2 Pro as well. This may be to do with the how the game loop is constructed (you seem to call moveBall twice before moveRacket and then twice more, every loop), which gives the...

put image sheep into animalarray[1] answer the short name of image sheep put animalarray[1] into temp answer the short name of temp I'd expect the the first two lines of code to be equivalent to the second two lines of code - but they aren't. The first two lines do what I'd expect ( they display th...

Actually the most important point is that we’re all learning, and this learning is permanently documented and available to subsequent users. As to why the same users keep responding - well that’s unfortunate. More should be. I am quite happy to watch from a distance if there are progressively better...

I want the tooltip to be visible... as long as the standalone is in the foreground. And that it hides when the standalone comes on the background (on suspend). A different approach may be to use suspendStack and resumeStack. If your app becomes the foreground app (resumeStack) you could populate to...

You could also use the built-in treeView widget

Ooops - edited as Sparkout beat me to it lol

Great task for new users of liveCode and for current users this is straightforward. I thought I'd ask ChatGPT how to do this, to see where it's at with LC. I asked ChatGPT : create livecode script that asks user for their name and then generates a phrase "Hello <name>" in a field This is its conside...
