Well, at least two people have wanted that "feature" to be "updated". Is this worth making an enhancement request?

Make that three, with me, just because.

I suppose you should test to see if the text has indeed changed, that is, you did not put the very same contents of that field back into that field. That may not always be a valueless thing to do, however, so mentioning it just in case.

Craig

Yep, something I would have bet money could not possibly be true. The "textChanged" message is not sent when the text changes in a field via script. Weird. And moreover, WHY??? Anyway, why not just do your task when you load the new data? In other words, instead of invoking a message, just: put "tes...

Can you say "King Lear"?

Richmond.

Glad we are friends again.

So it was "idiots" that was the trigger. OK, as a choice of words , that may have been over the top. How about "fools"?

Craig

Ah, I see. You do not want to have to rely on using a caliper to measure the actual size of either the screen or the card window dimensions.

Aha.

Craig

Richard.

You mean the "mobilePixelDensity()"?

Can't you use the screen/card dimensions to determine the number of X and Y pixels on each axis? And if you have that, doesn't that give you the "desktop pixel density"?

Craig

Richmond. The last time this sort of thing happened was after I responded to someone here about this very sort of issue. I mentioned that I thought the main reason LC did not sweep the planet was that many programmers, experienced ones most of all, dismissed it as a toy, without really investigating...

Richmond.

Really??

First off, I never mentioned Windows. Second, I was hardly actually angry or upset; I am startled you took such umbrage Don't become curmudgeonly.

Craig

Richard. What do you see? I see, or rather feel, that we are a lonely group. This means to me that people are idiots, a treasure to be had for the taking that they simply do not see. Or worse, that either from prejudice against what LC is, or for want of investigation, they do not give it a fair tri...

Simon, nothing else, right? Seems so. I am the wrong person to even speak here, since I do not do mobile. But, again, I do not think that bluetooth is the issue. Whatever mobile app you have created must query and read from some dataset in some app on your phone. How that source gets its data via bl...

There is a function "mergNICisBluetoothConnected()" that determines whether a bluetooth device is connected at all. Beyond that, when you say: any way to read the data being sent from a Bluetooth device how do you mean that? Whatever comes over via bluetooth has to end up somewhere, and isn't that t...

Native deployment is LiveCode's strength, and its breadth in that space leaves most competition in the dust. It has a few weaknesses to address, esp with mobile (scrolling fields, clipboard, etc), but still a strong competitor for mobile. Moreover, it's almost alone in the desktop space, where user...

I am assuming I am correct. Try out this test stack.

Craig

Rereading, maybe your real issue is:

"How do I store the answer to the current question so I can compare it to whatever and however the user responds"

Is that so?
