LiveCode Forums.

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a project in LiveCode where I want to display dynamic content based on user input. Specifically, I’d like to have a field where users can enter text, and then display that text in a different part of the app, along with some additional formatting and information based on their input.

Here are a few specific questions I have:

• Data Handling: What’s the best way to capture and manipulate user input in LiveCode?

• Dynamic Updates: How can I ensure that the displayed content updates in real time as the user types?

• Formatting: Are there any built-in functions for styling text dynamically that I should be aware of?

I appreciate any guidance or examples you can share. Thanks!

It's an odd question because the implication of "I"m working on a project in LiveCode" is that you are familiar with LiveCode, but your questions clearly show this is not the case.
As with many first-time posters recently, your post sadly has the taste of AI generated text, so please prove you're human.

Regardless:
1. Read the User Guide (available under the Help menu
2. Use the Dictionary (API listing)
3. Head over to https://lessons.livecode.com - this answers most of what you ask
4. The forums are most helpful if you have a specific issue with code, so post problematic code instead of asking sweeping generalisations.

It might not be A.I.; it might be someone who wants other people to make the effort and do the work so they can get a piece of paper from an institution.

I'm with Richmond on this. Sounds like a homework project.

@Sorgonzola. We have no particular issue with this, but please reveal more of who you are and what you need.
