LiveCode Forums.

Thanks for all the helpful replies. I don't have any issues with writing my own controls (within the IDE, not using LCB yet). I recently did an accordion control and tri-state checkboxes (that also monitor child binary checkboxes to get and set their status). I was hoping to save some work on some a...

Thanks for the quick response Richard.

Hi all, I'm trying to revise the highlight color of some classic objects (e.g. checkbox, tab panel) from the current blue (mac) to another colour. I've search the Livecode IDE files but can't seem to find them. I'm familiar with rolling my own controls, but would prefer to be able to make some tweak...

Hi Craig, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I know windows is awful. No argument from me there, but unfortunately, my target audience is mainly Win. What I don't understand is why it's not always awful. Why can I create a perfectly fine looking stack starting from Windows, but when I try to open the code ...

Hi Mikey,

Thanks. That was the issue, and your suggestion resolved it. Thanks again.

Hi, There must be something simple I'm overlooking... a stack that I'm developing (primarily on my Mac) appears to have blurry text (not crisp) when I open the stack on a PC (still in the IDE). The application is not intended for use on a portable device. I've tried changing the font to something ge...

Hi, I'm working on an application that prints cards to PDF. It is planned for use on both OSX and Windows. The printing routine basically populates a series of 4 cards with room info on them. It populates card1, prints to PDF, then print break, then does the same for 3 other cards. This process then...

Hi, I haven't posted for a while... hopefully somebody can assist. I've not used ODBC to connect to a database before. I'm trying to get the Sample lesson working, but am getting the following error: "The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application". Does anybo...

Hi Ender,

Thanks for your reply. My app is running well after a couple more versions, but I could really use it more effectively if it was on my iPhone. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet an jump on the upgrade wagon.

When Lion was released I tried it out, but was disappointed and soon after reverted to Snow Leopard. I haven't had a reason to change until my recent desire to revisit LiveCode and run apps on my mobile devices. : (

Hi, While I've played around successfully with the Community Edition, I still have my copy of LC 5.5 Personal Edition and have paid to be an Apple Developer. Prior to iOS7 I was able to run apps on my iPhone & iPad devices. Now that my devices are running iOS7, what options do I have to be able to r...

Hi Jarren, My app has a series of buttons & fields that are organized in a scrollgroup as well. I understand how to make them scroll, but your reference to 'molten butter' caught my eye. My form contains perhaps 60 to 70 objects, and although they are set up properly, they don't scroll in a 'zippy' ...

Hi Simon,

Have tried that but the behavior is the same. Have also tried different iPhoneSetRedrawInterval values.

Hi LC Gurus... I've run up against another challenge and hope somebody has some information or a solution that I'm missing. I have a scrollGroup which has buttons and fields in it. When a field is selected on the lower half of the ipad (landscape) screen, the keyboard slides up and covers the fields...

Well, I finally found a solution to this problem... The scrollGroup, comprised of all the buttons and fields, resides on a graphic (background) with a navbar so that the whole affair looks like a scrolling table, and occupies a portion of the iPad screen. When a user presses a button on the side of ...
