Hi there,
doesn't uText and uTabText not work any longer in the latest mobGUI?

I tried to change a lable of a field to the name of the pushed button, like...

set the contents of field MyField to the uTabText of me

It sounds like you are going through the summer school 1 lessons using the most recent version of MobGUI. If this is the case, there are some big changes. I believe you are looking for the newer syntax-


mgText and mgOptionText

If you are indeed going through the Summer School stacks, I believe Elanor posted a short video explaining the differences in the lesson materials.


Hope this helps!

edit: Here's where it should be:

Hehe, yes I'm going through Summer School 1 to get a fresh up on LiveCode, because I didn't get time to use it in the last 10-12 month.

Ok, but do you know where to find this video?

It should be in your lessons in your account. I edited an image into my last post.

Ohhh.. ok - I skipped the pre-lesson

Thanks a lot!

Hm.. this is how it looks in my Summer School 1 - no special video for this x_x

Hmmm. I think if you e-mail support, it's possible they would add it to your lessons somehow. In the meantime, the MobGUI site http://mobgui.com/docs.php?CLEAR=1 has searchable documentation.

Thank you, I write the support right now

Please see the posting - in this forum - entitled "Setting mobGUI 1.24 fields for desktop use " - the MobGui developer has confirmed that the use of uText is not currently supported in Version 1.24. Unfortunately, V1.24 took away several areas that had worked just fine - this being one of them. Another was the ability to move text in a button up/down.

Ok, now I rebuild the stack with the new mobGUI, but this still doesn't work:


set the mgText of group "NavTitle" to the mgOptionText of me

Which I use in the group (grouped IconButtons for the tab-bar) to set the name.

But if I put the following line directly in the mouseUp of the button itself, it works:

set the mgText of group "NavTitle" to the mgText of me

So, why doesn't the first line work?

Hi, DevBoyLars - if you want to catch the mouseUp, etc. events with a group instead of the individual button objects, make sure you pass the message in the button's script .... then the group will receive the message.

If you are using MobGui 1.24 the navbar text now requires that you use a label and put the text on the label. In the earlier releases of mobgui we could control the text of the navbar directly without that step.

I did both, but it doesn't work.

I uploaded two version. One that I want to get work (with "pass") and one, which already works, but with bad code -.-

Maybe someone can help me

I think mgOptiontext only works with groups of option buttons, and since you are using icon buttons, it may not work. I added a (sloppy) group of option buttons that work. You'll notice the buttons don't have mouseup handlers in them at all, and the script is in the group .Hope this helps.

Thank you - I know the Option-Button-Way, but these buttons are without an icon, which is needed
