Set the htmltext of the templateField to the htmltext of the widget. 
Get the text of the templateField. 

It won't always be perfect because LC fields don't support many browser tags.

Thanks Jacques for this method.

Bangkok, unless you are expert with JavaScript you will not want to go this route. And even if you were, you would probably still not want to go this route. :)


Fair enough. ;-)

Perhaps the solution is to ask for an improvement of the browser widget ? A new property (text) if htmltext is not ...

Hello, you know how to use do "as script" in widget "Browser"?
You have to use javascript commands to get the text you want because the text is loaded by javascript and not with the initial html.
put the htmltext of widget "Browser" does not help.


Ah non, i do not. It sounds interesting.

More and more websites use special javascript/dynamic content, in order (i guess) to prevent data mining.

An example :
https://www.set.or.th/en/market/product/stock/quote/PTT/price

It's the new website of the thai stock market.

It's impossible anymore with LiveCode (with URL, htmltext or the ...

I've just tried the library.

Tested on LC 9.6.6 windows 10.

When saving the example stack as a standalone for Android, i received an error message in spanish (" Programas "). So i guess it's internal to the library (the author writing in spanish).

See picture attached.

Do you have an idea ...

I had the same question, with HostM (hosting company with LC Server).

Here is the answer, and it works flawlessly.

First you need to copy onto the server, the "mime.livecodescript" file, that you'll find in

/Extension/com.livecode.library.mime/ directory (on your PC)

Then in the lc file ...

This could be solved in the future... We need a command to hide the virtual keyboard.


It's a wish.


I know that keyDown doesn't work on Android.

But it might in the future.

Hélas, no. I haven't found a way to bypass the logic :

-in order to catch the data sent by the barcode reader the field must have the focus
-and the focus displays the virtual keyboard. Always !

Hi all, I wonder if it would be possible to read Android's keyboard buffer in order to gain access to was entered by another App.

Just to make myself clear I may be facing the challenge to develop an Android App that would read a barcode scanner, according to the handheld vendor they use a ...

Hope this gives you what you need.


Actually... no.

Why do you have a Datagrid which is populated behind ? How do you get such a listing ?
I see that you have 2 columns : game date and game time.

Futhermore what means " doesn't work " ?

Do you receive an error message ? Or do you receive an ...

I hope this makes more sense.


No it doesn't.

Anyway, the error now is obvious

put "11/22/2020" into gtGameDayDate

You use gtGameDayDate in a SQL query.

It can't work.

SQL use YYYY-MM-DD format.

put "11/22/2020" into gtGameDayDate
should be
put "2020-11-22" into gtGameDayDate ...

Very confusing.

Thank you to give us the content of... tSQL

We need to see the SQL query, created by your code.

you should try "as modal"
