Have you tried the command?

I’ll echo what SparkOut said. I’ll add that the widget can be hidden. I’ve done a test that used some JS libraries but only tested on desktop.

A good read. Thank you for including the report link. FWIW the orientationChanged message is sent in a subset of cases where resizeStack is sent. Sometimes that narrow range is useful, but for layout resizeStack will handle more cases, including orientation change. We can view resizeStack as one-st...

One big difference that I notice is that on iOS you can draw behind the furniture (outside safe area, beside notch, under status bar) but those areas are outside the drawable rect on Android. I’ve not pulled up any Android sims with a notch though, so not as sure about them.

The actual problem with your demo stack is that it had the behaviors listed twice in the StackFiles. Once at the root level and once in the folder. This is what prevented them from being found and mapped properly as behaviors. If you delete the entries that are not in a folder, save, quit and relaun...

The problem is that at “preOpenStack” it is too late. Behaviors are resolved when the stack is loaded from disk before any messages are processed. References to objects within the stack require no special consideration. SOS behaviors do. In general, the engine needs to be able to locate the behavior...

I have been able to test an app from LC to my iOS 16 iPhone.

I export all of my scripts for GitHub tracking but don’t do much of my editing outside of LC. ScriptTracker makes this easy though. It just watches the folder of scripts and updates the object script when it changes. I could edit in anything and scripts would update when saved.

Stam- Very interested. A while back I worked out a mechanism for automatically importing script-only stacks as substacks but got bogged down in automatically exporting changes back to the .livecodescript files. Haven't revisted that in some time now. So if you've got something workable and generic ...

If you are writing a custom companion mobile app then I would change the way of going about it. Use the socket communications but actually reproduce the UI in the mobile app and just send data. Your TV app would provide the screen ID and then when the user entered data it would magically appear in t...

True enough, but the issue should be in the unencrypted IDE LCS code so if I (or anyone else) finds the bug we can post details here for the benefit of the community. Mark’s comments are pertaining to code coming from the community version, but if code is coming from the commercial version then it s...

In my cursory look at the new layout module I think it is more in line with how you think about layout on the web. GM suffers from not handling containers well and does not do flow/wrapping of controls. The glaring GM bug is probably within the community’s ability to suggest a fix. I’ve looked and f...

I’ve done something along the same conceptual lines (MS Access controlling a web site in IE). My approach was to abstract as much as possible and use simple commands to do things like setValue(pObjectRef, pObjectValue) and clickItem(pObjectRef). Should be able to do something similar where the handl...

“By reference” means that instead of making a copy, that actual variable “reference” (pointer in other languages) is used. This allows changes to the variable inside the handler to be retained. The “@“ in the handler definition is what makes the variable “by reference”. See “pass by reference” in th...

I would suggest changing "buildCommand" to a handler instead of a function. The additional churn of using both a by reference variable but then copying and assigning it probably isn't that good. Since the engine does use "copy on write", memory use may not be an issue but the constant adding/removin...
