All text entry fields on program not working

Post by agraham147 » Fri May 04, 2018 9:41 am

My program I have made, I have launched as a standalone application to test on another computer and now all of the text entry fields won't allow you to type text into them, including the file on the LiveCode developer. What has happened here, and how do I fix this because my program needs to have fields the user can type into?

Hi agraham147,

hm, that is very hard to check from afar and guessing is highly ineffective!
I can take a look at your stack if you like, just ZIP it and send it to: klaus AT major-k.de

But please give us some more info:
What version of LC?
What platform Mac/Win/Linux?
Is there anything that might cover the fields so you cannot enter text?
Any scripts involved?

Make sure ALL the boxes in the picture above are ticked for each field.

Hi jwtea,
including the file on the LiveCode developer.
do you mean that this also happens in the IDE?
If not, what do you mean with this?

It's OK I've resolved the problem, it was a coding issue on the stack script, thanks guys ;)

HI,


Can you explain what your coding issue was and then this thread will be useful to others?

As it is, only Richmond's post is useful but is easier much easier to solve in most cases.
