Using polylist on web

I just finished the Web Camp, have the enhancement bundle, and installed polylist in LC 10.0 DP4. Will it be possible to build a stack for the web that simply uses the polylist widget to call 100 pictures (First Day Covers) into a list. I assume that for size considerations, the pictures would be st...

If developing on my desktop, what is the best way to test whether the field will actually scroll? It doesn't scroll in run mode. Will it scroll if I test in the simulator (maybe using arrow keys)? Do I have to deploy a test version to my device to test the scrolling? Thanks for you response, it was ...

Browser Widget instance

I created a browser on a card with the browser widget in LC 8.1.1

Works fine.

I want to export a picture of the web page.

I tried using the "revBrowserSnapshot" command but I do not know how to identify the "sBrowserID" parameter.

Can anyone help.

Thank you in advance.

touchstart command

Will the "touchstart" command work with the new iPad pro?

I want to make a livecode app that allows the user to press buttons in a stack by touching the screen.

Thanks in advance.

Chat Room for Faculty

I am an on-rev founder as well as a long-time Livecode user. I am interested in building/buying/using a simple application where retired faculty could simply chat with one another. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Tab in Datagrid after closefield editor

I have a datagrid table. You can tab across each field in a row. I edit a field in the table and then execute a closefieldeditor to update the information in my SQL database. It works fine, except after a closefieldeditor call concludes, no cell in my datagrid is selected and I cannot tab to the nex...

autofill

It would be nice to add a feature that allows you to automatically enter a username and password directly into a webpage in your stack.

Re: Help with selecting text in a field

I did try it (before your suggestion) but could not get the contents of a data grid cell to wrap around.

I am trying to think of some creative coding that would let me select the wrapped text in my one column scrolling list field.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Re: Help with selecting text in a field

If I use a data grid, is it possible to have a one column grid?

Can the data in that one column wrap around in the cell?

Is the cell than selectable?

Thank you.

Help with selecting text in a field

In a normal list field, you can select a line of text and identify the line selected. I wish to do the same thing under slightly different circumstances. The field will be on an iPhone. The field width is not wide enough to display what is contained in a line, so I turned off list behavior and dontw...

Run a stack from a webpage

Since these forums seem to indicate that revlets are a thing of the past, how can I take a very simple, one card stack (that simply reads data from a mysql database into a datagrid ) and have it accessible via the web? Thanks in advance for any insight. I am an on-rev founder and user if that is rel...

When designing a stack for use on a Mac or a PC, a laptop or a desktop, that may have different user screen resolutions and sizes, what are the best strategies? a. Design with a specific target screen resolution in mind? b. Always use a re-sizeable stack? c. Design for a particularly scenario and al...
