Hi Gerry:

For a non-list scrolling field you can use a regular text field instead of a datagrid. That should do it.

Hi Josep:

Your idea might work but a separate solution would be to go with a datagrid. You have full control on what you want to display in a datagrid.

Hi Steve: I'm glad you are making progress. The iOS Release Notes pdf that gets installed with Livecode is where you will find iOS specific documentation. With regards to differentiating between a "Tap" or a "Scroll", look at the touchEnd script behind the "DataGrid 1" group. The if statement looks ...

Hi Steve: I ran into similar issues while developing my scrollers. things to whatch out for: 1) Make sure your DataGrid and DatGridScroller groups have the "Lock size and position" property checked. 2) Make sure that the dimensions & locations of the DataGrid and the DataGridScroller groups are exac...

Hi fre:

Here is a sample custom iOS progress bar that you can use and expand as needed.

Hi rdlankes:

This has been fixed in 4.6-DP5.

I tested your code and it works exactly as your request.

Hi dburdan:

I have attached a sample stack that does what you want.

It has a preopenCard script and two button scripts. Very staraight forward.

Hope this helps.

Hi All: I just wanted to share a sample stack that combines a DataGrid Form with a scroller control. I wanted more granular control on how to emulate a native iOS list which the field object did not provide. I spent several days trying to figure this out and it seems that some of you are going throu...

Hi Fred:

I wrote a calculator app and noticed that many of my "touches" were failing just as you described. What I did is instead of using mouseUp messages, I changed them to mouseDown and my app became very "esponsive".

You might want to give that a try.

Hi Bernd: The dev team is implementing so many new features and at such a fast pace that they don't have the time to provide sample code for every new addition they incorporate into the language. Code samples like the one you have provided saves the developer community a ton of time spent in trial a...

Hey Todd:

Have you made any progress on your solution?

I have the same need and was curious to hear different approaches to this problem.

Cheers

Hi JosepM,

I cut and pasted your code and tested it with 4.6 DP-4 and it works fine for me.

I guess I don't really understand understand your issue, but if you want to explore this further please attach either a picture of your problem or a sample stack.

Cheers

Hi bdtrauma: I tried your code but I noticed that the field name in the visible line is different than the field names in the subsequent lines and livecode comes back with chuck not found. Try this code... It works under the simulator just fine. Cheers. on mouseUp if the visible of field "rtram" is ...

hliljegren:

I agree with you 100%. It just requires a lot more work than just using LC native controls.
At any rate, I will try your approach. Thanks for the posts!
