systemWindow stops RevBrowser working in Mac app

Post by Batninja » Tue Jan 13, 2015 11:54 am

HI, I would really like to create a cross platform app for Mac and Windows that displays the revBrowser in a float above everything window using the systemWindow property. However when I try and set the systemWindow property of InetBrowser sub stack of the RevBrowser it stops the browser retrieving any website. It works in LiveCode but not when saved as a stand alone app for the Mac.

Any ideas anyone?

All help or advice gratefully received.

Hi,

Can you post a sample script that demonstrates the problem? There are at least two possibilities why it doesn't work. The window ID may be changing, which causes the browser window to be detached from its parent window, or the browser window is no system window and is hidden by its own parent window. Your script may give a clue about the cause of the problem.

Kind regards,
