You can put an SVG Icon or a graphic image into a DG column, would either of those work? Then you just need to script the behaviour of the widget or graphic when it’s tapped on. I do something similar with check and uncheck SVG icons. > On Apr 29, 2021, at 8:23 PM, Mike Kerner via use-livecode

Style runs can also speed up your app. I have a scrolling group of 1 field with 200 lines. I put ellipses on every line that the text does not fit horizontally. Doing this in the field became impractical after the number of lines got too large. The solution was to assemble a styled text array(us

Let's say we want to have a scrolling area, like a DG, and we want one of the columns in that thing to be a native radio button on mobile, which we can activate with touch. I'm not aware of a way to do that in LC at present. Yes? No? Maybe so? ___ use-liv

Android uses the identifier ("com.mydomain.appname") to determine if it is the same app. If the identifiers are identical it will overwrite or, sometimes, not install at all if the version codes are the same. The name (or "Label") is for display only and doesn't affect installations. So for two

Hello Klaus, A rough guess is that both appd had the same Identifier (e.g. "com.yourcompany.yourapp"). This is what makes an app unique - not the display name. Kind regards, Panos -- On Thu, 29 Apr 2021 at 21:32, Klaus major-k via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi all,

Goo test, though single spaces are included. Come to think of it, maybe its the php checker plugin I have and maybe its isolated to php. although I also wrote dart and I'm pretty sure it happened there too. I will test more. Cheers, Tom On Thu, Apr 29, 2021 at 2:04 PM Richard Gaskin v

Since you are doing clipboard stuff when the clibpboardData["html"] is set ...and then you paste into VSCode ... the spaces are unrecognized characters. on windows, not sure about the others. Cheers, Tom On Thu, Apr 29, 2021 at 1:15 PM Mark Smith via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.run

It seems that if you are making an application in LiveCode where a user can copy from 3rd party apps and paste into your LiveCode app, you almost have to add a routine to scrub the clipboard data of any "problem" data - which sees to be any non printable characters - or problems occur. I thou

Mark. Am I understanding that you can paste text from textEdit into a LC field, and that renders the field unusable? I see nothing like this. I rarely actually do that, though now and then use textEdit as a scratchpad to then load into a field. Is this actually something you see all the time?
