Thank you all for your suggestions and thoughtful replies.

My new Linux box, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBQXCQQ7, has been shipped. As estimated, the box and keyboard/track pad cost $150 including tax.

I'm stoked!

Morning All, If I were committed to developing Android apps, I would find the ability to run my apps on the box that compiled them very attractive. I've worked with dual OS configurations previously (eg: DOD-hosted p-System). But the cheapest reasonable Chromebox I've seen costs 3x the Linux box I'm...

Great to hear from you, Jacque. The reality is I don't use my Win 10 laptop for much except eMail, web browsing, and LiveCode. Occasionally text editing and spreadsheets. It's close to ten years old and beginning to throw up system errors, so it's time to retire it. My perception that Win 11 would n...

Thanks for your suggestion, Richmond. Actually I can get a new 64 bit Linux box for $99: https://www.amazon.com/Ubuntu-Computers-Desktop-Computer-Bluetooth/dp/B0C7PYV2FC I have a monitor, so all else I need are a Bluetooth keyboard & mouse, and I should be set on the hardware end for less than $150....

Thanks Stam, I was looking at ChromeOS because I want an OS that allows me to run my box standalone and hoped ChromeOS would hide its Unix roots from me. I live in an area where WiFi is intermittent and slow. I understand Win !! (and new Mac?) boxes will not run off line. Is that correct? If so, it ...

i was talking about using the ChromeBook to run the IDE

Hi Stam, et al.

Has anyone looked into this further in the past two years?

My old HP Win 10 box is getting long in the tooth, and I am very interested in exploring developing LC Android apps on a ChromeBox.

Cheers!

Hi Craig,

I can resize a rotated image here (LC9.6.9, Win10) by changing the height and/or width using the Property Inspector or the Message Box.

I would note that rotating an image automatically changes the image dimensions.

Cheers,

Rob

We decided on showing a field on mouseEnter and hiding it on mouseLeave. Morning All, I implemented Jacque's approach in the original HyperCard version of my app and have continued to use it in the RunRev and LC versions. All cards include a help field at the bottom of the window that displays step...

Problem solved!! Here's the culprit: Button script on mouseEnter -- 11 Mar 23:RCC if the short name of this card is "Appellation Code Scroll" then buttonEnter "Add Appellations Help",true else buttonEnter "Appellations Help",true end mouseEnter Stack script: on buttonEnter helpField -- 16 Mar 23:RCC...

The HCStack of my stack is true.
The HCAddressing of my stack is false. (I've removed "card" and "background" from script references to buttons and fields.)
Setting HCAddressing to true does not solve my problem.

A little further info:

Now that the buttons' autoArm property is false, the hoverIcons are being displayed on mouseUp.

??

I had just changed all the buttons in my app to use the hoverIcon instead of the armedIcon based on guidance from the LC Dictionary. Now I won't have to change them back....just reset that property. Woe is me! This worked fine in the example stack I uploaded; but after resetting the autoArm propert...

So the autoArm property of that button has been set to true - which is why there is no hoverIcon displaying. You're the man, Mark! The button was copied from a HyperCard stack that was converted to LC (actually RunRev at the time) many years ago. Then when I researched this problem I confused the a...

Greetings All, Per the LC Dictionary, the hoverIcon property "Specifies an image to display in a button when the mouse pointer enters the button." Attached is a very simple stack: One button, two images, and no scripts. When the mouse enters the button, the hoverIcon image is not displayed [Win 10, ...

However having now gone back to using this I'm getting several issues I'm not sure I ever had before: 1. Clicking on the backdrop itself causes a massive flicker, showing underlying things like desktop icons 2. The backdrop no longer separates LC from other apps. Really annoyingly the back drop jus...
