Re: Can LC be used to produce Progressive Web Apps?

Thanks Jacque, Mark, Richard & LCMark. There isn't a specific timeframe on this. I'm 60, have no JS experience, and work in the environmental-sciences and humanitarian sectors. Both of these sectors require systems that function effectively in offline and low-connectivity modes. A few years ago I us...

Can LC be used to produce Progressive Web Apps?

I've been developing for mobile & desktop using LC for several years. I've experimented with LC Server. I've never got the license for HTML LC. A few days ago a past client said to me that they are probably going to move to using Progressive Web Apps (PWA) instead of native mobile apps. I hadn't hea...

Re: Displaying Chinese chars - straight forward?

Thanks Richmond and Jacque. It does appear that LC has some out-of-the-box capability to display Chinese char, so that creating a Chinese version of my app should be "a bit of a slog", but not particularly technically challenging. I don't yet know whether I'll proceed with this. It depends on what s...

Re: Displaying Chinese chars - straight forward?

Hi Richmond - thanks for your very thorough response. --- I'd rather avoid the unicode path, mostly because I wouldn't trust myself to correctly distinguish between Chinese characters that - to my untrained eye - look very similar to me. --- I could go down the "save the char as an image" path, but ...

Displaying Chinese chars - straight forward?

Hi I'm scoping creating a Chinese language version of one of my apps. I saw a previous post on this topic, but it was nearly a decade old. I only need to display static object text in Chinese. I don't need to display user input fields in Chinese. My need is 99% for locked fields + buttons + data gri...

Re: API level 29

Hi I'm trying to upload my test app to the Google Play Console. GPC is complaining - "Your app currently targets API level 30 and must target at least API level 31..." So I: - downloaded and installed LC 9.6.9 (rc2) - which from the release notes I thought would solve this problem; and - updated Pre...

Re: Field contents > font size within the IDE

Thanks everyone for your information / advice I didn't feel confident with editing system stacks so I found a work around: - create a temporary input allowed (not label) field XYZ, with a large font - edit the contents of that field using the IDE (not Object > Property Inspector > Contents) Screensh...

Re: Field contents > font size within the IDE

Hi

Its the font size used in the Property Inspector > Contents that I would like to be able to change. See attached screenshot. The default value would have been fine when I was 30, but I'm not 30 anymore ;-)

Thanks

Kim

Field contents > font size within the IDE

Hi. Hopefully a crazy easy one. Within the IDE > Field Properties > Contents > How do I increase the size of the font being used? The current font is just too small for my 59 year old eyes (even with glasses). Note - I'm not trying to change the field font size in my standalones. I know how to do th...

When trying to get my first LC App to LC Server system working - I found this to be a very useful starting point.

Re: Getting started with Java bindings

Hi Julian Sorry, but I'm not a good person to ask. A year ago I spent a few days experimenting with LCB + FFI, but it all got too hard so I moved back to regular LC. It probably would have gone better if I'd known ANYTHING about Java, but I don't so... Like another responder to my original post I al...

Card slow to open - solved

I normally post problems, but I thought that today I would share a learning. I had a card that was very slow to open on Android. I added extensive logging and found a 2600 milliseconds delay between: - the end of the previous card's closeCard handler; and - the start of the problem card's preOpenCar...

Re: Can the void space within a group be made "Clickable"?

Thanks all. Fascinating. Opaquer - Thanks for the card script idea. I can see how that would also work. Dunbarx - Thanks for the info about the "solidity" of a group. That certainly matches what I'm seeing. - Yes - I think that a group property that allowed void mouse clicks to be trapped would be u...

Re: Can the void space within a group be made "Clickable"?

Thanks Thierry. Yes - it would certainly be easy to do it by adding a group-sized object and layering it below everything else. I was just curious about whether LC might have a way of detecting clicks that occurred within the left/right/top/bottom bounds of a group, but not over an object of that gr...
