Well this would have saved me a lot of work 😂 Thats excellent thank you very much. I have just built a little test file of this and it works really well. I'll start having a look into this in more detail later today with how to 'make things happen' off of the back of the re-ordering. For reference f...

Afternoon All

I have managed to implement drag re-ordering for a datagrid using dragstart and dragDrop which works on Desktop.

Before I start from scratch at tackling Mobile drag re-ordering for a datagrid does anyone have any examples?


Many Thanks

That’s excellent, thank you very much for the feedback and help

Thanks for the HTML suggestion

I have attached updated version of the example to include this.

I assume the HTML shortcut will work regardless of Windows of Mac?



Many Thanks

Thank Klaus (we'll get there in the end)

Please find attached stack which creates Mac web shortcuts.

I assume it would work very much the same for Windows but would just need to have the XML and .extension that is relevant to the Windows OS.



Many Thanks

Lovely Thanks Klaus

I am trying to upload an example stack that I have just created but it is telling me that .livecode is an invalid file extension to upload to the forum?


Many Thanks

Hi Richmond

Ideally yes, I have a database which stores links to documents in dropbox, I would like to be able to create shortcuts to these web links, much the same as how the create alias command works, only opening a web page and not a file.


Many Thanks

Hi All

I hope that everyone is having a good weekend.

Is there a way to create a shortcut to an internet webpage on the users desktop, I know how to create a file alias on the desktop using the 'create alias' command but I can't get that to work for a webpage shortcut.


Many Thanks

HI Richard

Hi All, I hope that everyone is well. I have managed to get the mobilesensors to work to get the location of a user using a mobile device. Is it possible to get the location of a user who is using a desktop or a laptop? For example when using the map widget the map seems to be able to automatically ...

Hi Zaxos

I hope that you are well.

I know that this is an old thread but is there anyway that you could share your method for a non-blocking dissolve.

Many Thanks
