@SWEdeAndy was able to deliver a clean, working solution that generates scannable DataMatrix barcodes. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Richmond,

That very chap reached out to me and although I have the standalone HTML file he provided which does the work, I have no idea how to implement it into LiveCode. I assigned the HTML file to a browser widget and can see the web page but after that, I am lost

I am working on an app (to replace an existing app) to print labels for my team and one of them uses a Datamatrix barcode. I’ve tried to make sense of how source data is encoded to produce the barcode but it’s over my head.

Hello everyone, I am looking to generate (ECC200) Datamatrix barcodes either by drawing individual native LC graphic rectangles to make up the entire barcode or by using a Datamatrix font. Either is fine provided the barcode is scannable with a barcode reader. The barcode when scanned will be used t...

Hi everyone, While in browse mode, i’d like to be able to marquee several controls like one can when in edit mode. After releasing the mouse, the marquee’d controls would need to somehow show that they are selected. In addition, upon releasing the mouse, it would need to be noted in a text field whi...

Ah ha! Thank you so much!!

Best regards,
Jon

Hi everyone, Occasionally, when opening a native LC project file I am working on, there may be commands which run at (startup, openStack, etc.) that I may not want to be run. While I realize I can simply comment out such commands or perhaps add a keyDown check, I was wondering if there was a way to ...

Although I’ve been using LiveCode for several years and have had a lot of fun, I thought it would be even more fun to chat with other users who might live in the Central Ohio area. If so, say hi

Hi everyone, Let me see if I can answer everyone’s questions: @Dunbarx - when I selected all the text that was in the text field, I wanted to be able to press the delete key (backspaceKey in LC) in order to clear the contents of the field. Adding the few lines of code Klaus suggested resolved that i...

Hi all, First, thanks to everyone who has responded and provided code and/or sample stacks. Between everything, I…think/hope…I have managed to combine elements of the provided stacks into a relatively completed stack which seems to, for the most part work. Here is my adapted code: on keyDown KP put ...

Hi Richmond,

Thank you the sample stack! Although it works, could you expand the code so that the list of customers updates accordingly when the user presses the delete/backspace key?

Thank you so much and best regards,
Jon

Hi everyone, I have a hidden text field which contains a list of my customers (it’s lengthy!). I have another field where a user types the name of the customer. I’d like my app to display a list of possible customers as the user types the name of the customer. I’d like it to work in the same way as ...

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking for a barcode widget and came across the following: https://www.aslugontheroad.com/41-barcode-generator-widget-1-0-0-ready-for-a-beta-test Has anyone tried this widget (and perhaps still has it?)? I ask because I’ve tried emailing the developer a couple times but haven...

Works like a charm! Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Bernd,

Thank you for the fix. It now works...IF I drag the text file onto the "Specs" field itself. I want to be able to drag the text file to anywhere on the interface and have this work. Can this be done?

Thank you and best regards,
Jon
