Re: Launch URL to run Windows program using command line switches

So I spoke too soon. It looks like the launch command doesn’t actually send command line options but rather sends the command to open the specified document by the specified application. So I can open the application with the document but not actually send it parameters other than to open a docu

Skip, This is great. I’ve been struggling with this for a couple of weeks now without success. This works for me when I point to a .exe file but not if I point to a link file (.lnk) such as in the Start Menu folder. The reason I want to use the .lnk file in Start Menu is that the actual applic

From your example above, you're having the button try to pop itself up. Thats the only case where you probably don't want to manually "popup button.." The key is to check the conditions, have other popup buttons with your context menus set up, and if the conditions are met, then popup button "what

Hi Ben, My solution will work in pre-7 and is 100% vanilla LiveCode (no idea why you explicitly mention again that it should be script-only). You'll have to change your script when you move to 7. Obviously, you could write a script for both versions using the do command for the 7-specific part

Hi Ben, The apostrophe doesn't work because you convert to ASCII text that looks different on different platforms. If you don't use unidecode and just set the unicodeText of a field to your Unicode string, it should work. If that's not practical, you could use macToIso() to convert your string
