iOS SDK config problems
I was delighted to see the LiveCode iOS externals SDK ship, and to see an instruction video on the RunRev channel to help me get started. I expected to run into problems with starting to write my own Objective C code, but I actually ran into problems much sooner. So I might need some help. What I have installed is: the DP4 of Lion, LiveCode 4.6.2, the iOS Externals SDK, Xcode 3.2.6 and iOS SDK 4.3. And with this configuration, I cannot use the test button in the LiveCode toolbar. So I went to the Preferences, and under Mobile Support, I tried to reset the 'Location of developer root for iOS 3.2 and above'. It was set to /Developer, which should be right. But when I choose that folder again, I get an error: The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK for 3.2 and later. It must be the one that ships with XCode 3.2.4 or later. Bummer! It might be because of Lion. So I restarted from my bootable clone I made before upgrading to Lion and I installed LiveCode 4.6.2 and the Externals SDK on it. So now I have almost the same config, but with the newest Snow Leopard instead of Lion. That was better. Testing on the iPhone Simulator worked as expected. So I started following along with the instruction video, but near the end of it, the instructor chose iPhone Simulator from the pulldown menu. That option wasn't available for me. Over here, it reads Base SDK Missing on that same pulldown menu. I did some googling on that, but I was unsuccessful in solving it. What am I doing wrong?

one way to crash the IDE
In case anyone is interested, here is one way to crash the 4.6.1 IDE in Windows 7 so bad that you can't even switch to the running instance of Task Manager: add to your resizeStack handler a reference to a non-existing control, then in the Run mode try to resize the stack. Works every time. Which reminds me of a question I saw that no one has answered: when you've accidentally created an infinite loop in a handler, is there a secret key press to abort all scripts?

Re: the object Type of me?
Finding out that a control is a button is often just the starting point - I needed to know what type of button it was - push button, default button, option menu button, combobox button, a popup menu button, checkbox, radio button, tab control, etc. If you need to be that specific, in addition to checking word 1 of the abbrev name, you have to check the style and menumode properties to figure all that out.

Re: formattedheight and formattedwidth
OK I see what you mean about the formatted versions of height/width. The straight height and width properties don't seem to come anywhere close to working even allowing for menu bar issues (I'm on OS X). They set the height/width to what they were for the previous card opened in the stack, not the current card. I've tried this in preOpenStack and preOpenCard so maybe this card in the prewOpen handlers is still set to the last card opened since this one hasn't been opened yet? I think I will have to use the formatted height and width and be consistant about how much room is around the borders of the controls on each card.

Yep, that's what I was doing initially but was looking for a way to make it happen without actually knowing the height and width. I think I have this working now. I made sure that the topmost control on each card always had it's topleft set to 10,10 , then I add 20 to each of the formatted height and formatted width during preOpenCard.

ANN: WordLib 1.5 Goes Mobile with Document Import
Import Microsoft Word and Open Office documents in your iPhone and iPad apps! WordLib 1.5 brings iOS support to the LiveCode add-on library for document import. New users can get started easily with the included desktop and mobile examples, plus an extensive user guide. Existing users will be happy to download the free update and move into mobile document import. This release also provides easier and simpler installation of the library into project stacks. Missouri-based LiveCode developer and consultant Curry Kenworthy believes this is an important step for the add-on library. If you haven't used WordLib before, the concept is simple: import word processing documents to your app with one or two lines of code. You specify a document and a field, and it's done. Now mobile apps are empowered too! WordLib is written 100% in LiveCode and uses direct, original algorithms for powerful document translation. Virtually all document formatting features supported by LiveCode field controls are handled during import, including fonts, text styles, colors, highlighting, links, images, tables, bullets, footnotes, and more. WordLib is available at the RunRev Store and at the CurryK page: http://runrev.com/store/ http://www.curryk.com/wordlib.html Curry Kenworthy offers consulting and coding for large and small software development projects around the world, along with LiveCode training. http://curryk.com/consulting/ ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
