Re: Cannot use Message Box

Well I guess that's the point. We shouldn't be clearing globals that don'e "belong" to LC so why on earth is LC even trying to look at system globals that don;t belong to it? Pete Molly's Revenge On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 7:27 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: > On 5/7/11

I think the confusion in this thread stems for the fact the message box as a top section and a bottom section. I think everyone can agree that the top section has a history, and the up and down arrowkeys move through that history there. It's the bottom half of the message box that this thread is r

Hi Slava, You can set the label but not the name of button to a unicode string. In LiveCode, you always use UTF16. If you have a UTF8 string, you need to convert it to UTF16 before you can use it in LiveCode. To convert a UTF8 string to UTF16, use the following syntax: put uniEncode(myUTF8Stri

Is anyone using LC 4.6 for "really foreign" stacks, like Slavic languages or Greek, in UTF-8? In my tests of 4.6.1, the Contents box of fields and labels accepts Russian fine, and it is displayed correctly, but Russian in a button caption or tooltip turns into garbage (actually, it looks like it t
