Thanks... knowing this is not a limitation with the Community edition has allowed me to correct the issue.

I have a project I created several years ago with a full version of LC. It had menus, including the rather odd implementation of the "About" and "Quit" menu items in the Application menu. The other day I tried building a standalone from it using the current stable community edition, and while the Ab...

So I want to get the contents of a URL during openStack, but it returns empty. Now I remember something from years ago that there is an issue with when LC's internet library loads and that you have to do something or other, or wait for some point, or jump through some other hoops before you can call...

Klaus,

Thank you so much!

Simon,

The only option I see for arrowKeys in prefs>General is navigate from card to card - which is unchecked.

But what does this have to do with the behavior of my standalone (which is where the problem exists)?

Why when I press the up or down arrowkey in my standalone, I see the following stack open:
This does not happen at runtime, and there are no arrowkey handlers anywhere in my code.


Thanks,

Thanks Mark... shutdownRequest is what I was looking for.

My problem is the Quit command in the Application menu (or task switcher). Nothing seems to preempt that.

I have a server app (standalone) I have been asked to confirm on quit, but can't figure out what should be simple. Initially tried in closeStack->exit closeStack... no good.. ...then found closeStackRequest, but that only works when physically closing the stack's window (Quit menu item still shuts i...

can you provide a little more detail on what sort of service you're connecting to? Perhaps there's another solution available. Simple TCP to LAN based, IP controlled hardware... write <string> to socket <IP:port> While it would be nice to receive the result from these kinds of command strings, it i...

Faith. :D I use a LiveCode Server on the local network. My Android app makes regular HTTP POST. Thanks. I thought about building a little server here to bridge http requests to strings sent to specific gateways, but it seems like a lot to ask a client to dedicate a server to support a simple mobile...

Wow... that looks a long way out! Hard to fathom that this is such a low priority.

It has been years and this still seems to be missing. What are you nice folks using for a work around?

Thanks. The first example is what I was looking for as I am populating the button for a contextual menu.

Hey...

I have a return delimited list of commands I would like to set the lines of a button to. I know I can:

repeat with L=1 to the number of lines of theList
set line L of button 1 to line L of theList
end repeat

But isn't there some property I can just set to the list? Can't seem to find one.
