Thank's Bernd,
That looks like just the ticket

I think the link in the earlier thread was dead.
Any way thank a lot, i will delve in there and see what i can utilize.

Kind regards Gary

Hang on a mo...!
This is running an apple script, telling it to launch an application 'Image Events'" Is this a default osx application...?

Thank's guys, That stack as far as i can see spends most of the code, finding the icon file and putting a copy of the file in another known location. I already have the icon in a variable by the time i want to turn it into an image. The bit that converts the file to an image that can be displayed is...

It was kind of obvious that this was not going to display the image, but for clarity i just proceeded with the code on click of the icon stored in the list line: on mouseUp local theicon put the value of the clickLine into theicon put theicon into image"image" end mouseUp But as this is not yet a si...

Hi doobox, you actually mean icns as in MacOSX icns, the image format that holds different resolutions of images used by the system to display icons for e.g. files of a specific type? Could you elaborate what your are actully doing. Icns are not directly accessible from Livecode. Or am I misunderst...

Hi there, Well things are going pretty well considering i have only been using the software for two days. But at this point in my app dev, i could use a lead.

Hi there,

Thank-you, that makes sense.

I was just trying to code:
Disable the keyboard before card opens
Focus nothing after card opens
Then re-enable the keyboard.

Not sure if that would work, did not finish it yet. But your method sounds a lot easier and one i will now adopt.

Hi there,

I cant find the right way to stop my text input field "feild1" from activating the keyboard on app start.

I have tried, on the card:
on preopencard
focus on nothing
end preopencard

Keyboard still becomes active and feild1 takes the focus.

Just looking over the notes from the help menu regarding ios.
There listing supported versions of x-code... but no listing of x-code4.

edit: i totally missed the dropdown in the dev menu to select version of sim.
Sorry for being such a dummy

Hi there, Just got live code and ios package. I followed the guidelines for creating an ios app. But the test button remains grayed out. I have set the path in prefs to /developer and live code recognized this as ok. My provisioning profile was there to be selected in standalone settings. restarted ...
