Re: Custom Desktop Folders

Hello Ray, I believe I had success setting custom folder icons from LiveCode using the Xcode tool SetFile. I can’t remember who pointed me at it… probably Ken Ray. In order for this to work I needed to store the SetFile tool in a customProp of my app and temporarily write it to the user’s drive.

Datagrid question

I’m trying to set up the dataGrid to put the cell contents in another field, for editing, when I click on it. Some of the cells may contain a fair amount of text, and I won’t be able to edit it in the cell itself. The tutorials refer to the revDataGridLibrary. Can’t find it. Or could the

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

Thus far, there is no way to create OS specific icon files within LiveCode, but I have always thought there should be. You have to use Photoshop, Gimp, or other custom icon software to create icons that contain all the various resolutions required by each OS. How about a widget for that, RunRev?

Custom Desktop Folders

Does anybody know of a way, from within Livecode, to create a folder and give it it's own custom display on the desktop? I'd imagine this would be done with an .ico file. I'd like to do this for both Mac and Windows. I've looked through the RunRev store and haven't found any extensions which
