LiveCode Forums

I recently used the solution I posted Nov 30, 2012, shown just above, derived from Jan's excellent post. But the switch statement in my handler was followed, unconditionally, by a "pass" statement.

Monte, I know that Apple's policies are out of RunRev's control. I am a fan of RunRev and its new open source initiative. It's just that the combo was causing me concern.
