Never mind Richard. It works a peach when taking a shot of just the window, the browser object is not included, but when drawing a rectangle for the screen shot image, it does in fact include the browser. It was a nice try though. Bob > Try taking a screen shot of Livecode running a revbrowse

Re: Blocking screenshots?

Try taking a screen shot of Livecode running a revbrowser and see if the browser content is copied. My guess is that it won't be. If so, then you can display all your content in a browser object. Not sure how other utilities work, they may have a workaround for that. Bob On Dec 31, 2012, at

You're right, LC is great for doing stuff like that, so I did. Put a popup menu on top of an option menu. Make the popup menu the same size as the option menu and set its layer so it's in front of the option menu. Put all your menu items and scripts into the popup menu. Looks like an option men

Computers can make the "judgement" the same way people do. By using a lookup table. We are told, "I before E except after C." Great got it. It's a rule much like a computer algorithm. "Oh, and in a list of exceptions as long as your arm." Whoa, now I need to memorize the exceptions if I want to

Perhaps there is. It probably has more to do with User Interface Guidelines than anything else. LC has to stick to the guidelines for their own native objects because they advertise OS compatibility as one of their features. Nothing is stopping anyone from making their own object though, or tryi

One of the reasons Regex is useful is a lot of SQL implementations support it. I suppose in theory at least, anything you can do with Regex, you can write a function to do in Livecode, but I am not so sure you could say the opposite. It really comes down to this. There are simple one liner Regex
