Re: iOS questions
Hi Monte, just so I am sure I understand /command mergNotify pNotification This command registers for a notification to be sent to the calling control (me) whenever it occurs. The same notification may be registered by multiple controls in your app. If a single control registers for the same notification multiple times it will receive it multiple times./ Does that mean the calling control could be a stack? And if your stack is made up of multiple stacks do you have to set notifications for each stack in order to be able to respond to UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification? Or can you set it once for the whole application?

Re: iOS questions
Hi Mark Yes the calling control can be a stack. Anything that you can refer to as 'me' in your code. Wherever you handle startup/shutdown etc you can handle UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification for your whole app. Most likely in the mainstack script but could be in a library script or backscript.

J. Landman Gay wrote It's a field in the iOS pane in standalone settings. Just choose a PNG from your hard drive. Got that working, very cool! Do you know if there is an option to remove the shine (settings, newsstand, contacts, calendar, game centre for example don't have shine, messages, youtube, iTunes, appstore do have shine). For my icon image, it would be best without.

Re: iOS questions
At the top of the icons section is a checkbox marked Prerendered Icon. Checking that will make it use your non-shine version. ___ 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
Re: iOS questions
Jacque, thanks for the pointer re: the icon. Monte, what I want to do is encrypt the file (mergeAES) before the system shuts down or hibernates. Essentially trap it and send a shutdown/close stack request to myself so I can terminate in an orderly fashion. Doable?

Re: iOS questions
Monte Goulding wrote on UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification -- do your encryption here end UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification I'm going to try: on UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification close this stack end UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification and see if we can get an orderly shutdown with encryption and all (all the code to handle it is in the closestack handler) which is also sent when you press the home button. Interestingly I just checked the docs on the home button and its not mentioned except in reference to the screen orientation. But clearly when you press home it sends a closestack message and shuts down the application. Strange how this would not be documented (unless I missed it)? -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/iOS-questions-tp4656338p4656374.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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

I'm not positive that's the best plan as you will probably find your stack is closed when the user awakens their phone. I would suggest something like this: on closeStack encryptItAll end encryptItAll on UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification encryptItAll end UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification on encryptItAll -- do your encryption and save end encryptItAll If you really want to force quit at sleep then try: on UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification quit end UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification Not sure if apple will be happy about that though Cheers Monte -- M E R Goulding Software development services Bespoke application development for vertical markets mergExt - There's an external for that! ___ 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
Re: iOS questions
I don't think you can trap this event. Also I don't think there's a separate notification for this button as opposed to the system just going to sleep. But if you just want to know if the device is put to sleep eiher way with your app running then that's what mergNotify was invented for. You want UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification and UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification and these are in the demo.
