Arrow key bug in Livecode

Post by agraham147 » Thu Sep 27, 2018 2:00 pm

Hi there,

I think I've found a bug in Livecode. I have a multi card stack and have launched it as a standalone application on two separate computers and although I have no code for arrow keys on my cards or stack, when the user presses the arrow keys it takes them to the next or previous cards. Just thought I would say so it can be fixed for the next update.

Thanks, Aaron

Klaus

Hi Aaron,

this is a feature, not a bug! :D

To prevent this, put this line into your preopenstack or openstack handler:

Code: Select all

...
set the navigationarrows to FALSE
...
Best

What? That is very bad...
Where I should set it? It's a global property? Is it a card property? :?

Useful for me
I think that is a stack property

It is a global property, as I wrote, best put it into your "openstack" handler.
