LiveCode Forums.

Thanks Klaus, So you are saying I have to manually code my own means of creating and destroying <b> tags, etc, in the htmltext? That really sounds like something that should be included in the default field. After all, the folks who made livecode clearly already have the code. if you did not create ...

Hi everyone, I am working on a Windows application that uses htmltext for a lot of things. Typing Ctrl+B (Bold), as well as italics and underline, works perfectly in livecode without getting into the htmltext, but in a standalone the keyboard shortcuts do nothing at all. Is there something I can do ...

I guess my quoted statement was misleading. What I believe is a bug is Livecode's refusal to reopen the app, after it has been closed using the back button. On my first card, I do not trap backKey. My app closes properly. Task manager assures me it is still open. That's okay. But when I try to open ...

Hmm...I had thought that my helloworld apps were sucking ram as well, but I guess I was wrong. My app in not massive, but I haven't slimmed it down yet, so that might be the problem. I didn't know about push notifications, thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it tomorrow...It's late over here....

My company isn't receiving the emails, a company we sell the app to would. So I don't want anything to complicated for them. I may have to go more professional later, but for now I just want maximum functionality (zero bugs). For now, I think launch url will work fine.

Thanks everyone,
Dave

Okay thanks FourthWorld,

I had already figured it out by the time you answered, but thanks anyway. Too bad one can't specify attachments, but that's just not possible using this protocol.

I realize that there are dozens of posts on emailing from Livecode, and I have read almost all of them. I tried Sarah's SMPT, but it doesn't work anymore, as far as I know. Her POP is just for reading emails, revMail doesn't work all the time, revGoUrl is deprecated... The list goes on. Finally I ha...

I need to make an app which has a notifier. For example, when something new comes out, I want it to alert the phone user via notification. This means I need something running 24-7 to periodically look for notifications. Is there a way to make a livecode app that doesn't take up about 20 MB of RAM? O...

qberty, Hitting the back key, unless you have trapped it, does close the app. And also creates this bug. In alomst all android apps, hitting the back button will first navigate to its root menu and then close. This bug has been around for quite a while, I think. It had better get fixed soon, though,...

I once made a Windows app that was doing much the same thing. I had a number that was constanly climbing, sort of like a national debt clock. But it was acting really slow and choppy, and even caused livecode to freeze up. Turned out the problem was the display. I had seven fields, one for each digi...

This has be asked before, but there was no answer, so I'll ask it again rather that post on that old thread. If I hit the back key in my app, the app closes, but it is still open according to task manager. When I try to open it again, it just shows a black screen. Is there something I can do when I ...

Thanks for the answer. Yes, the code you all provided works perfectly for my needs. Sorry for the confusion, I had to leave before I could test keyDown. I had been experimenting with rawKeyDown. I expected a bit of delay, even though it's pretty simple. But on keydown tKey put toupper(tKey) into the...

I just don't want a performance hog. Livecode pauses for half a second just for twenty or so lines. (No 'move' or loops or anything) I can't think of a seamless way to do it, either. I just tried using rawkeydown and subtracting 32 to get the caps version, but now what do I do? 'pass rawkeydown' act...

I'd be surprised if there isn't a question like this already, but I can't find any, so here it is. I have a bunch of fields that the user can enter text in, but I want it so that anything they enter is converted to Upper Case. Is there a fast way to do this? I really don't want to have to grab it, c...

Yes, I had the exact same problem once, and I did the same thing. So I assume you can export Android .apk's and everything? If you have any more problems with an exporting or set-up issue within the next couple of weeks, you can post it here and we'll try to answer it. Glad I could help. Regards, Dave
