Thanks Gerry - seems like getting my app to 'suspend' was a one-off glitch that I can't repeat - like you say, it always quits now. So, it seems that the shutdown message is the only one that gets sent - for the moment I think we'll just implement an automated save and tell our students that's what

I just save all the stuff I need to to .txt files every time the app quits, and reload it on startup. For my situation that provides the neatest way to implement the "suspension" and "resumption" of an app. In your case perhaps you can save the data then ask if they want it restored when they op

Maarten, Broadcasting is quite unreliable in LiveCode. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I use a repeat loop to send a brief code to all IP addresses over UDP. This triggers clients to tell the server they exist. An example doing this is Clipboard Link http://clipboardlink.economy-x-tal

Hi Tiemo, I think you need to perceive a group as an object without surface. There is no area to catch the message. If you want it to interact with the group, catch the message at card or stack level, make sure that the target isn't a field or button and check that the mouseLoc is within the re

It's not at all the rule of LC-Server to handle HTML, CSS, JS, AJAX for us, nor PHP or Java does. See the usefull Ralf Bitter's RevIgniter solution for this (or any of the great JQuery, Mootools, etc... options), if needed. LC-Server is a professional grade server-side engine, no less, no more..
