Re: Referencing objects when editing a group

Good idea!!!! - the long ID is the same in group edit mode APART from the fact that the reference to the parent group is dropped.

Just tried using the form "control ID of card ID of stack ID" when in group edit mode and that works.

Many thanks

Referencing objects when editing a group

I know this has been discussed before but I haven't been able to find an answer!! The problem: I have an app designed in a fairly traditional way - main stack simply appears as a splash screen but holds most of the functions & commands for the app as well as the app's menu bar. Users then work on st...

Re: dragging FROM LiveCode to external apps

Thanks for such fast responses!

...and problem solved - setting the dragdata appropriately works - and you can use dragdata["file"] and drag data["image"] to drag files & images as well as text.

dragging FROM LiveCode to external apps

Dear Livecoders, I'm building an app that makes use of Livecode's drag & drop facilities. So far, I've successfully built an app that can happily receive stuff dragged onto it from external apps/OS, determine what sort of thing is being dropped and respond accordingly. However, I can't figure out ho...

drag and drop emails

Hi All, I've been struggling with drag and drop for a few days and have hit a brick wall. In short - I'm building a task manager type app that allows the user to gather all the relevant information about a task in one place. So far I can drag & drop files, text and URLs to my app and everything work...

Re: Play Video

Just a note - I had exactly the same problems - the player object playing just sound and no video on windows but fine on OSX.

Installing codex made no difference then I brought the player object to the front (even though it was visible) and this fixed there issue - now it plays fine

Cheers Jan - that sounds like a good solution but how do I actually edit a menubar group? I can see it in the application browser but can't get to it from anywhere else?

menu bars in windows

I suspect I'm being dim here but I've just created my first standalone for windows that has a menubar. My problem is stack has a dark background and the menubar only extends to the end of the last menu heading (in this case there's only file and edit) so you get this stubby little menubar at the top...
