LiveCode Forums.

is there a major difference in performance, e.g. maybe Rev apps being faster?

In general, are there some salient differences that are common knowledge in the Rev community? (other than the cost of Adobe IDE which can be avoided by using FlashDevelop and coding gui by hand)

I would like to be able to programmatically select a widget so that it would be focused. Kind of like it can be selected/focused with the mouse in "pointer tool" mode or via the Application Browser. Can I do this by setting some property of either the widget or the stack?

Mark, thanks for the links. But my question is first and foremost an attempt to understand the problem, for which these links presumably are a solution. E.g. if I make a stack that I want to deploy on both iPhone and Android, can I use the "iPhone Control Kit for LiveCode" in both versions? Or will ...

I am having trouble understanding the complaints voiced in this thread http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5820 . E.g. here is a quote from there I would also be interested in knowing whether I must re-invent the wheel (by having to create buttons, etc. in Photoshop) rather than simply drag...

this may be "easy" to read for people who don't know Java. It doesn't make it easy to write for Java programmers. Which is why I pointed out that it would have made sense to have a translator from java/javascript/similar language to RevTalk or just natively support a C-style language for scripts alo...

thanks, double clicking worked.

I understand that LiveCode uses a native language with a weird syntax, but I seem unable to find a thorough, example-based guide to that language. Is such a spec published? Also, does RunRev provide a Java-like alternative scripting language for people who don't actually like the "natural language" ...

in most modern visual development environments it is possible to not only place widgets and edit their properties visually but also access either the source code or the xml representation of the screen configurations. E.g. in WPF this is done by editing the XAML files and in WinForms by editing sour...

I am trying to use Live Code 4.6.1 Android on Windows 7. I am able to run the IDE and I am able to move around and even copy-paste widgets on sample stacks. But I am unable to use Tools palette. When I select "Edit (pointer) tool" in the palette and then try to select let's say Push Button in order ...
