Ali (and Mark) I was just answering the question asked :-) Heh. What I usually do (and what we generally do in the IDE) is get a target object's long ID, put it in a variable and use that for subsequent references. That way you only pay the (again, very small) performance penalty once per

clipboard access on mobile (iOS)

Hi all, Before I give up; is there anyway to programmatically set the clipboard on iOS? (Extra points for general mobile solution, but right now my need is on iOS.) At this point I'd accept filthy hacks (it's an internal tool). I want to be able to set the clipboard to some text, and can't

Re: Multiple Mobile Shutdown Messages?

Thanks for the suggestions. The pList option could work, but what message is sent when launching the stack from the backgrounded state? Resume? Thanks & Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 2/2/16, 1:19 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of Mike Kerner"

Re: Multiple Mobile Shutdown Messages?

I haven't played with this, but thinking aloud: 1) Set the plist so the app doesn't exit on suspend 2) Therefore, you won't get an exit message unless the app is quit. Set a flag 3) on preOpenStack check for the flag. On Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 3:44 PM, Scott Rossi wrote: >

Multiple Mobile Shutdown Messages?

Hi All: I'm wondering if there are different messages sent on mobile (iOS) when an app is backgrounded versus when the app is swipe-dismissed (removed from the list of backgrounded apps). I'm trying to set up a sort of "reset" behavior in an app that allows starting from screen 1 instead of

Re: Multiple Mobile Shutdown Messages?

Hi Scott, There are different notifications sent to an app, one of which is: - applicationWillTerminate: Tells the delegate when the app is about to terminate. Monte’s http://mergext.com/home/mergnotify/ will help you get access to those notifications, although I don’t know for sure if it

Re: Multiple Mobile Shutdown Messages?

Hi Scott, I use the plist hack that allows suspend. When I reopen the stack from the suspended state, I’m pretty darn sure the StartUp handler is not triggered. It is triggered when the app is opened fresh… can you make sure of that? be well, randy Randy Hengst

Actually, openStack seems to work the same -- not sent after resuming from being backgrounded. So several options to be had :-) Thanks again, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 2/2/16, 3:11 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of Scott Rossi"

OK, it looks like the "startup" message is indeed the way to go: sent when launching fresh, not sent when launching after suspended. Thanks guys. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 2/2/16, 2:25 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of Scott Rossi"

Have you tried to put the text you want into an invisible field, and then copy the text from this field using the copy command in your code? From the way I understand the documentation this should work on all platforms. Tore > 2. feb. 2016 kl. 19.49 skrev Ben Rubinstein : >

Re: Using [ Control "SomeImageName" ] VS [image "SomeImageName"]

Yes, in general specifying the control type when referring to the control by name will be very slightly faster than not doing so - this is because when cycling through the controls of a card to see if there is a match, a non-matching control type can be instantly disregarded (a constant time

Hi all, we have this new „Selector“ widget in LC 8. Do you think it would make sense (or comply to any HIG) if this would be „wrap“-able“? I mean that we could have two or more lines of continuous numbers like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 … in ONE widget, know what I mean? I would like to have it
