Re: LiveCode mySQL calls and iOs?

John MySQL is supported in LC on iOS. However tapping in to MySQL databases from mobile devices introduces a bunch of access and security issues, so rather than using the MySQL commands I use .php files on my MySQL server to do my SELECTs and INSERTs. I run them from my iOS app using url http c

I updated the sheet stack to make it more usable and posted it at a different URL. Now, it's streamlined and does some rather nice things. First off, it does a nice sheet "scroll down" animation, plus it adds a transparent bg button which won't allow for clicks outside the sheet (and of course del

LiveCode mySQL calls and iOs?

Hi All! I have a little stack I'm testing some ideas out on. It makes some simple SELECT and INSERT mySQL queries using the LiveCode calls. It is my understanding that those LiveCode mySQL calls do not work in iOS. Is it possible to to still access a mySQL database from with in iOS (in LiveC

Using groups as custom dialogs: a solution for Mac, PC and iOS

Mega PROPS goes to Scott Rossi for this. Turns out his technique "wait with messages" works quite well, on both Mac and PC. And this should work especially well on iOS where you cannot have a modal dialog window except for those standard ask and answer ones. It works for me where I have projects wh

Re: defining and using globals in an application

You should write a Livecode article on it. It's very useful information, and helps people grasp one of the stickier concepts for new users of Livecode, especially pointing out that there are no namespaces, but that there are fixed scopes like global and local. I had some experience with Foxpro

Folks, I don't really know what the thread is about but since we're talking about globals, I decided to share my own methodology regarding them. I use globals in some stacks, specially the ones that are not plugins or tools that will be used elsewhere. In my little app stacks, I tend to use globa

Using groups as dialogs..

I, for sometime now, would like to be able to use groups as dialogs. This would work well for iOS in particular where dialog windows really don't work. With groups, they could navigate down as sheets and there's lot's of neat effects which can be applied. As many of you, I typically use stacks as
