Is this a language definition? Should it be "French"? I don't know if that would cause an error or prevent signing from occurring, but if that's the only change maybe it matters.

You could try hiding the mainstack instead of closing it. If that works it might give some leads on the problem.

If the destroystack of the mainstack is true, closing it will close all the substacks too. So the save dialog would be for the substacks probably.

Does this scroll? Usually the contentRect is taller than the group and uses the formattedHeight of the group.

There are two ways to manage the placement of controls: 1. Script the position of each control on the card. You can do this on preOpenCard for every card, or once at preOpenStack. If you use preOpenStack, you need to repeat through the cards, setting the position of all controls individually. 2. Set...

Set the backgroundcolor of the stack to white. LC will fill in the blank areas with the background color. If not all cards are white you can set the backgroundcolor of each card instead.

Oops. Ignore me.

Regarding my own code, I remain unconvinced that it is not a bug in LC, but saying it isn't faulty when there seems no logical reason why a default rectangle should be added on the second click when it works as expected on the first click. Just another way to explain it: When you create a new contr...

I was wondering about the font too. There are many free fonts available on the web, maybe one of those would work better. Or maybe a different printer would work. One thing MC used to stress was that you need the latest print driver, so that would be another thing to check.

Livecode requires UTF16, so you need to convert the incoming data using textDecode.

My mobile apps download text files without any problem. There is no warning and the download is very fast. I've never done it from within a browser though, it's done as Klaus suggests by scripting the download in LC, saving the file to the documents folder, and then setting the html of the native br...

I've wished for the same thing sometimes. There is the currentCard property, which comes close, but it navigates to the card in the background which isn't always what I want.

I want to make the scrollbar in android look good as the one that in IOS.

Mobile apps do not use scrollbars on either iOS or Android. Users expect to swipe field content, which you can do using mobileControlCreate to create a scroller overlay and mobileControlSet to assign its behavior.

I haven't ever needed to do this, but it looks like you will need a custom manifest file for the Android app. The manifest instructs Android to support RTL text. <https://android.jlelse.eu/rtl-support-on-android-here-is-all-you-need-know-e13f2df512e2> That article covers several different aspects of...

When you say it doesn't work, what happens? Do you see text? If so, what's wrong with it?

Right, the third parameter is always the number of characters from the start of the string, which does mean you need to add the most current found position to the counter. It's a bit confusing because offset returns the position from the last starting point, which is the end of the last found positi...
