Create Cotrollers and place them in a scroller

Post by kbirand » Sat Nov 03, 2012 1:34 am

Hi Everyone,

I need your help. Here is what I am trying to active:

1- Create multiple iphoneControlCreate "browser"
the amount varies, I am getting how many controllers that I need from an external file. Then will
do a repeat loop to create the browsers. I have managed to succeed till this point.

2- Then I want these browsers to be in a ios native scroller.
This is the part I am stuck at. I think i need to group the browsers and then place them in a scroller but I could not group them.

Any ideas, any suggestions...

Thanks,
Koray Birand

Hello Koray,

I assume that nobody wants to give bad news.
Simply put, it cannot be done :(
iOS Controls in LiveCode are special instruments.
You cannot group them as you can't change their layer order.
They float over all of other controls.
And their attributes can be controlled only via special commands.
Native commands like group has no effect on them.
And without grouping, the iOS Scroller wouldn't work in this situation.

But it would be an excellent feature and a simple solution to many complicated issues.
Bummer :(

Well, maybe someday, huh?
I'm sure that Developer Team has this one in their future plans.

Being said that, I still have hope that I'm wrong.
If there is a way which I not know of, please somebody share their thoughts...

Regards,
