Hi: I wouldn't ask, but I've spent hours and I can't find what I'm looking for. I have an iOS app with an iOS native text field with some text in it. I want to make a button that first selects all the text in the field and then copies it to the iPhone clipboard. I cannot find any reference to how to...

I have some data in a variable tData. I'd like to get it onto the iOS clipboard. It's 2023. Is that still not possible in any easy / direct way? I've read a lot on the forum about how it was not available in 2014. 9 years have passed. I know I can use a native control. I was hoping to not have to us...

Perhaps this is obvious to everyone but me. I sent a stack (as an app) to a client and used apple messages to share it. The stack relies on a sensible stack path. Everything looked sensible BUT having sent it by messages produced problems and when I made the stack path visible, instead of something ...

Thank you PBH. That is what I needed to know and I appreciate the encouragement.

Good suggestions. Thanks. Sorry for the late reply. My computers went a bit "sky-net" on me recently and it's been a big time-suck to get back working.

Hi. Running LC 10.0.0.5(dp). My iPad, which I am trying to connect to my computer so I can install my app I am developing, has worked its way up to 16.6 while I have not been paying attention (my fault, I know. I had left auto-update on without realising). Xcode 14.1 won't talk to iOS 16.6 and Xcode...

Thanks to everyone who replied and for the helpful suggestions. That wine thing was particularly good. Thank you. And brilliant to know that livecode works under wine. Thanks again. I hope my warning is useful to others, which is the only reason for posting my message - I'm still in love with Liveco...

Hi: I'm using livecode for v 10.5 dev preview for mac and like a moron upgraded my mac to run the public beta of Sonoma (on the basis that in the past I have found them very stable). LIVECODE has stopped working for me and won't even launch. Letting others know here so they can avoid my error. Reque...

Hi: I want to delete the first n lines of a text file. I can do it by put empty into line 1 to n of URL blah blah blah - which works. But I've seen online around 2012 this more elegant / clear alternative delete line 1 to n of URL etc yet it won't work for me. The file has enough lines. The line abo...

What is it you feel is lacking in the current LC functionality? I strongly suspect the deficiency is in my brain and not in livecode. I'm just aware that in say ruby, you can create a class that is ONLY the class you are creating with only the methods you create. It feels odd using a field for exam...

Hi: I love LC. I like the objects such as fields - very cool. I'd like to make a data object that is a combination of data and programming logic. Is that possible and if so how using livecode. More detail: Let's say I wanted to make a person object. It might contain data such as firstname, lastname,...

Hi: Loving the new widgets from the summer sale. Enjoying the power button BUT the other day I was trying to group 3 of them together, in the way one does with normal buttons and it appears I can't do that. Then I noticed they don't necessarily possess and property that would allow that. But in case...

Hi: Anyone else experiencing this and maybe has a solution. We have intermittent problem with transporter where it refuses to upload an .ipa file and crashes hard, itself and the rest of the system and requires a reboot (only way to recover, force quit can't be activated let alone used). Am I alone ...

Klaus: If my life were a hotdog - you would be the mustard relish that makes it all worthwhile. Thank you. I thought that play had been deprecated and we were meant to use the player object these days? Should I have been able to find this out for myself or is it just experience on your part? Bruce

Hello: The code in the subject line is not working for me on OSX Monterey using the livecode audio player object. Is it me? Is it Monterey? Is it Livecode? I feel like a seagull covered in oil and am wondering if there is a way back to the skies. I've seen nothing on line to tell me what's up or wha...
