Re: CommandKeyDown in a library script?

Graham. It should. It always has for me. Is the handler in the library stack in the stack script? It has to be, unless you send it explicity to a card or control on that stack. Are you sure you are not trapping it anywhere in the main stack? Or if you are, are you sure you are passing the me

iOS and the effective working screenRect

Greetings! On my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1), with the keyboard activated, the effective working screenRect returns 0,0,640,744. This is obviously wrong -- 744 is not the top of the keyboard, 528 is correct. In the simulator with iOS 7, it seems correct. Anyone have any knowledge about this? Using

On the topic of the DG, I have worked on and in it to tweak and fix a few things. I am amazed at how complex it is, and how many of lines of code it contains. I've thought about/played around with simplifying it, removing a couple thousand lines of code, etc. to make a DG-Lite, but I'm not happy

Yes, I remember trying it in HyperCard although not grouping (such a long time ago), I will give it a try. If I remember correctly HyperCard's performance slowed with an increase in the number of fields. Maybe this will not be the case with grouped fields in LiveCode. Thanks Terry On 15 Ju

CommandKeyDown in a library script?

When I create a new mainstack and put a commandKeyDown handler in it, the handler fires when I press the relevant key. When I put the same code in a library stack, which is used via a "start using" command at initialisation, it doesn't seem to fire. Can anyone say why? TIA Graham

Re: Open stack problem
