Hi John, There is no easy way to import all iOS controls. You can fake them using pictures.
LiveCode for iOS can connect to sockets, so it should be able to contact a web server and read data from an on-line database. I don't know whether libURL is included already (just check the release notes), but if it is then it should be easy. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.5 for LiveCode here http://qurl.tk/ce On 31 dec 2010, at 08:39, John Allijn wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to livecode, but have some experience in supercard (and even > hypercard). > First of all: I am very impressed that it is now possible to create iOS apps > with livecode! > > However, I have a few questions about building for iOS. > > 1) I want to create an iPad app. So I created a stack in the right > proportions, set the right iOS attributes etc. > When I run the app in the simulater however, all the controls like buttons, > except the picker-wheel, look like windows 3.11 buttons.
