Re: Groups placed on cards

In testing with a new stack, I see that what I am asking for actually does happen. The various placements of the group do have the same ID and configuration. So, I’ll work with my stack to make it happen that way. Thanks all for your help! Peter > On Apr 24, 2020, at 1:43 PM, Brian Milby via

Re: Widget Properties

My suggestion was just to see what properties are available in the widget. But when I just tried it, I see that it doesn't respond in the IDE, what you see is just a placeholder. You can search for "ios native button" in the dictionary, where I see only two available properties: enabled and labe

Re: Groups placed on cards

Is the group getting a new object ID?  With the place command it should not and you only really have one group.  It will appear on each card that it is placed on.  You do not need to select background behavior, you just need to make the group shared. Thanks, Brian On Apr 24, 2020, 4:01 PM -0400

Re: Widget Properties

Thanks Jacque - info safely stored in my “how to make a mobile app look like one” archive! Thanks for the other info about properties - how would you then refer to a property that isn’t shown in the Property Inspector for a widget, such as fontColor (or whatever)? I assume the array is just a w

Re: Groups placed on cards

On the contrary, I want each instance of the group to be exactly the same. I’m not seeing that when I place a group—it now seems to be a new object. Peter > On Apr 24, 2020, at 12:51 PM, dunbarx--- via use-livecode > wrote: > > Peter. > If you have a stack with one card, create a group, and

Re: Groups placed on cards

Peter. If you have a stack with one card, create a group, and set the backGroundBehavior of the group, then any new card you create will automatically contain a copy of the group. If you already have a stack with multiple cards, and create a group somewhere, then if you want to copy it to other

Re: Groups placed on cards

Hi. You can certainly create a group and set its backgroundbehjavior, then "place" it on any or all existing cards. This assumes that the group comes after the multi-card stack. Then any changes to the physical structure of your group will appear in all instances. But I am not sure how you would

Groups placed on cards

Hi, I have a stack with multiple cards (not part of a background) and I want to place a group on each card—the same group--AND be able to edit a single group script. And ideally, I would be able to configure as needed the controls of all instances of the group from a single location. For exam

Re: Which git service suits a LiveCoder best?

I came here to recommend "script tracker" as a powerful tool for those storing stacks in vcs. In the end it all depends on how your workflow is going to happen. Are you going to do merges? If that is the case then you need to plan ahead and carefully since you can't merge binary stacks. Another pot

Re: Mobile text input mystery

Have you tried to add a background color to the control so you can actually see it? Then the dictionary actually tells you that the result holds the ID. I know that you can then use them both. I usually use the ID as that is guaranteed to be unique. Håkan On 22 Apr 2020, 19:39 +0200, Graham Sam

Re: Widget Properties

Hello Scott Just to keep you in the loop, I have been trying to produce a mobile app (right now it’s iPhone — Android may come later). I’m trying to do this as rapidly as possible (it is connected in a minor way to the lockdown measures for the pandemic). I have lots of experience of LiveCode
