Hey there, I've got a couple of pull down menus - I would like to set a default text that is not one of the menu items. If the user selects a menu item, I would like to display that menu item in the label. If the user clicks on the pull down menu, but doesnt end up selecting one of the menu items, I...

Thanks all for the reply! I'd really like to also keep the text the user input - so if they click on a field, input text, that text is stored.. So if for whatever reason they click on the field again by accident, it uses their previously input text as the default text. Does that make sense? I just d...

I just created a new livecode project to see if the issue was isolated to the project I was working on, however I was able to duplicate the issue again. In this picture - the top ComboBox is the default I get when I drag the control onto the card. The second image is when I stretch out the width. Th...

Klaus, My apologies - I was interchangeably using the two names. My issue is with a ComboBox. I've edited my posts above to hopefully make more sense. I'm just trying to resize the ComboBox to fit properly with the rest of my UI in this application, and I cannot seem to get it to work as expected. I...

It started going south when I tried manipulating the height of the ComboBox. I adjusted the width, no problems. I grabbed the resize handle to pull the area down (in hopes to increase the height of the ComboBox), and the height actually remains the same, and the text stays locked in place. So, when ...

Hey, I've got a bunch of text fields that I populate with default text when the card opens. When the user clicks on the text field to input their own data, I'd like that text field to clear out the default text, and be automatically focused so the user can start typing. The only way I've been able t...

Hey all, I've got a ComboBox that I'm trying to use - I've resized the ComboBox to what I want, changed the size of the text, but for some reason the text sits above the ComboBox and is partially cut off. I've tried messing with all of the size/formatting options, and I cannot seem to get the text t...

Hey there, I've done a few small applications - all of which have used only one card - so I had all of my code in one place. I didn't even use the script editor for the individual objects - everything was in the card script. So my question is this - What are the pros and cons to having all of your c...

Just fooling around with this, I realized that I could use a code similar to: put "blah" into line 1 of field "fldOutput" put "blahblah" into line 2 of field "fldOutput" I didn't read any documentation, just tried what felt natural. Tip of the hat to the livecode "english like" syntax - always surpr...

I have some text that I would like to display in a multiline field, however I cannot get it to work properly on mouseUp put varName1 & " is very fast!" into field "fldOutput" put varName2 & " is not nearly as fast as " & varName1 & "!" into field "fldOutput" put varName3 & " is the slowest of all!!!...

I'm dabbling a bit with mobile development, so I'll pitch in a small piece to this puzzle for you. There is a built-in function that will allow you to send a predefined message to a specific number. Check out the dictionary for more information. // Format - mobileComposeTextMessage "phone number", "...

Hi there,

Would it be possible to find out the speed the device is traveling through space?
Like, if your device is in your car with you, is there a way to see how fast you (and your device) are traveling?

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to LiveCode, and very new to iOS Dev.

I'd like to see if it would be possible to check the current speed the phone is traveling?
Like, if your phone is in your car with you, would it be possible to see the current speed you are traveling?

Hi Craig, I appreciate the reply and apologize for my inquiry being unclear. I come from more conventional programming languages, so how LiveCode works with arrays is a bit hard for me to wrap my head around. a ROUGH example of what I'm trying to do from a more standard programming point of view - /...

Hey guys, I'd like to inquire about how I could concatenate arrays within livecode. Here is what I'm trying to do specifically - I have several arrays - aryName - is a string aryNum1 - is an integer aryNum2 - is an integer arySum - is an integer that is the sum of aryNum1 and aryNum2 aryTotal - is a...
