LiveCode Forums

I'm actually really pleased with the way Livecode is going. :D Love the new widgets, so easy to use to get professional results. Love all the training resources and tutorials, excellent information and well presented. Love the forums with lots of helpful souls without the usual condescension you can...

Hi Searching through the Livecode site for copy paste IOS produced several hits about how you need to use a native IOS multiline control using mobilecontrolcreate. I have knocked up a sample stack that shows how this is done. You can paste in text into the field and then get it back out using mobile...

Hi Yes the notes are extensive for MergDropBox (@ http://mergext.com/home/mergdropbox/). One way of tackling this is to just get the sample livecode working then tweak the code or remove the parts that are not needed. It sounds like you want to get files just from your own drop box? If you do simply...

Hi

Maybe you can use the MergExt Mergdropbox to access the file directly in Dropbox and save to the local IOS folder?

Hi all Hoping to resurrect this old chestnut of being able to perform the two finger touch on IOS to drag, move and rotate an image and be able to use the resultant image transformation in further code like copying into another sub stack. I did raise this on stack overflow and got a -1 vote for my t...

I love the SVG widgets! I use Affinity Designer on the Mac to edit them and then save as SVG and open in Chrome to inspect and get the vectors. I used SVG's for all the button graphics and even my company logo in my app "Screen Ratio" on the IOS app store. I like the way I can design on an iPhone 5 ...

Hi I'm using LiveCode 8 to output and save a single page PDF on iPhone however I cannot see how to set the paper size from US letter (8.5 x 11 inches or 612x792 pixels). It looks like the IOS paper print size should be derived from the Location settings on the device (i.e. A4 for UK and US letter fo...

Hi all I have great pleasure annoucing the availability of my new free iPhone app called Screen Ratio written in Livecode 8!! Check it out on the App store: https://appsto.re/gb/zTPxgb.i or search for Screen Ratio (uk store only maybe??) Thanks to several posters for assistance with my forum queries...

The blog post shows how to change the name or icon but I can't see from the API docs or the post how to get at the highlighted property of an icon in the header bar widget. I am trying to use a header bar ico...

Thanks Panos It was the ATS setting that was stopping the browser widget display the site. Once I disabled it the widget sprung into action. I expect disabling the ATS is not a good thing so I'll have to author the help pages with standard live code controls rather than just use a web page. Thanks a...

Hi Hope someone can assist me. I cannot get the browser widget to work in the iPhone simulator, it just shows as a blank white screen. The stack works fine on my mac displaying the web page and other stacks run fine in the iPhone simulator and the simulator will display a page using the mobile safar...
