The lock cursor documentation definitely says (used to say? - I am not able to check) something about the locked cursor state ending after the handler that invoked it finishes, similarly to the ephemeral state of the itemDelimiter.

@neville The "strange comment" was not addressed to you but in reply to an apparent spammer's posting. The spammer became evident, and that post was deleted.
So his reply now appears out of context.

I didn't pass immediate judgement but reserve the legitimate right to retain some scepticism. As mentioned, "while it might be legitimate" ... I have some doubts. "Mostly" it's valid syntax. I haven't attempted to run it, but while it might be legitimate, a "return" from a "command" (not a function)...

Is it AI spambot presenting AI generated code? "Mostly" it's valid syntax. I haven't attempted to run it, but while it might be legitimate, a "return" from a "command" (not a function) rings like a bell made from reconstituted pork products. I truly hope that a genuine poster has tried LiveCode in C...

The old thread I posted was referring to a task where someone wanted to implement a security measure like this, by interrogating the volumes and extracting the unique id of the removable device. There were some code samples based on vbcript usage to do this on Windows. I don't know if this is still ...

That wasn't what I was answering. Windows uses volume names for drive referencing (by humans). LiveCode returns a resolved file path on Windows which invariably has a drive letter.

Windows has always used volume names. Those volumes may or may not be assigned a drive letter.

There is a very old thread on the topic of interrogating volumes on Windows.
I don't know whether any of it still applies.

I think there might still be issues on mobile (not that I have encountered such in my usage) where not only does the first field take focus, it pops up the virtual keyboard. Hence the single pixel focus trick. Jwack would know.

does it cease to be considered to be an image object? Should I stop thinking about objects? Essentially yes And no. It's hard to explain but although there are "controls" (objects) and "containers" in LC this isn't how you're trying to do things. Jacque could probably describe things better. But yo...

This sounds like a perfect fit for the tree view widget

You say "quits unexpectedly" but you also say "freezes" and "unresponsive". Before trying too much blind troubleshooting, do you have the backdrop on? I wonder whether you have a hidden dialog box waiting for you to click "ok" or respond to a prompt to save the stack before the build proceeds? Other...

I said There are various ways to get there but a quick way: Press Windows key+R to bring up the Run box Type "control mmsys.cpl,,2" and hit enter. (Don't include the quotes but do include the double commas.) As I said, one way, and a quick way. Anyone used to using terminal would probably agree. Loa...

Uh, that's what I said. And there are many ways to reach that interface. Using a typed command was simpler to describe than trying to lead someone through "click that,tab that". The point I wanted to stress is that replacing a default Windows beep isn't going to "make music" which is what the OP wan...
