Thanks to everyone for the support.

It is great to see the community working so well (and I really appreciate the assistance)

Cool. Now we are getting somewhere. I checked out the lesson on sockets and the examples look workable. I can translate that into meaning and my own code. This means I know how to write the backend and the interconnect to the front end. Excellent. So, my last challenge is the web front end. I have s...

Thanks. Really appreciate the steer. I will go and investigate. (At least I have some bread crumbs to follow now) :D :D :D :D :D :D Maybe I will need to write my own.. Bugger. Ok. So. To a slightly different question. Communication between stacks. Is there an 'elegant' method to pass messages betwee...

Hi peoples I really appreciate the time you spend on answering my questions. So. I think I need to be clear about what I am thinking. I have written apps, BUT they no longer suit the needs and need to be disregarded in the context of the move to a portal version of the software. Very useful LC codin...

HI I have written a number of apps in LC for Windows, Mac and iOS. All good and they work nicely. I now need to make a web portal equivalent of those apps. I am not a web developer so I was thinking the best way to tackle it was to have the GUI as one component and an 'engine block' that would do th...

Ok. I will try to answer the question is a clearer way. The goal is to build a web portal which will offer similar functionality to the standalone applications already written. The standalone application allows an organisation to profile it's legal and regulatory compliance against a database of law...

The application would hold a dataset and a number of workflows. The user can log in can access their own organisation's data to view or edit, based on their delegated permissions. The user is able to update their data set and a snapshot will be taken to provide a 'snapshot' of progress. I am unclear...

Hi Peoples. I have been writing apps for Windows, Mac and iOs for a few years now and have (finally) got the hang of it. My code no longer completely sucks. I cringe at some of my old code and frequently it is easier to re-write chunks, than attempt to fix it. This is not an issue as my skills have ...

Hi I would like LC just to operate the IDE in reverse colours. If you switch the colours to inverted on the Mac control panel, the IDE is lovely - except your software is inverted too. I would like a 'dark' mode (or inverted colours) for the IDE that did not invert the colours of my App. Thanks Matt

Thanks Craig. It is so weird. It was just gone! No evidence of it left.

I decided to re-install. No luck
I reset all preferences back to default. That fixed it.

Hi All
My IDE script window has gone weird. I can still edit scripts but the bottom pane that normally shows variable, errors etc has just gone. I have just one massive code editor window.

Has anyone experienced this before and know how to get it back?

THanks
Matt

HI all I have developed a couple of standalone apps that work quite well. They run on Windows, Mac and iOS no problem. It took me a number of years to go from terrible code into something that is maintainable, readable and reasonably well structured <Allegedly>. :D I need to move the concept into a ...

Hi all Thanks for the comments. The thing I do not understand is that it worked for three years! (And still works on Windows and Mac)- it is only the iOS that has gone funny. I made some significant changes to other parts of the application (on the reporting engine) but nothing to this part of the G...

Hi I run VERY aggressive protection from the internet including additional firewalls, little nitch, DNS Crypt etc Is it that the communication is via the internet or LAN / WLAN (hinted at within your reply). I assumed it would connect via the lighting cable else how else would it know where to conne...

Hi For years now, I have been skinning my buttons but loading to images onto a page then referencing them within the button as 'Icon' and 'hilite icon'. I then switch between the two images by changing the hilite property depending on whether the button is pressed or not. This has worked well except...
