Re: using a dylib in an iOS app
I am trying to get the external .dylib file from the following project working in an iOS app: https://github.com/trevordevore/iosclipboard The included "iosclipboard.livecode" project makes it seem very simple. It includes the .dylib file in the "Copy Files" section of the Standalone Application Se...

Re: Play sound and play stop
I'm not sure about the latest versions as I'm using old version (9.6.3) on an slightly older platform, but ... I recommend the mobilePlayer control for media play back on mobile, works well on Android as well. But if you do still want to use 'play' command then try it with its AC/VC audioClip/videoC...

Re: How to programmatically select a datagrid
I definitely have a working example somewhere, of a Datagrid that's entirely navigable from a keyboard, arrowKeys, tabKey etc. I'll try to dig it out and post it if I get a minute.

Re: How to programmatically select a datagrid
Richard. Setting the focus of a DG does not, er, focus it. In fact, if I have a card with a single field, focussing on it: focus on fld 1 does not do what the dictionary says it does, which to, er, focus on it and place a blinking cursor there. I have to click on the field to do that. I never use t...

Re: Minimum Drawing Library Developments
Good stuff, thanks for sharing! Some of it works quite well or fairly well speed-wise on the 5th gen core i7 macOS I tested it with, other things like transitions come to a grinding halt at 400px tile size. I actually have various handlers that could compliment this library. since it's MIT licensed ...

Re: Serfing USA
I paid for Serf circa 2020 as an unreleased product but if I recall it never actually shipped. You paid for a Serf beta in 2020? Isn't Serf more like circa 1998/99? Thanks for that anecdote about going to see Atkinson in '87. I was 17 yrs old then and a nerd but I went to actual concerts, metal, he...

Re: Using the Shell (command) and Exiftool
#Paul Thanks you were correct that it was an issue with paths. I found this thread from a few years ago https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=37525#p220183 where a link to a python script is described which helped me understand the settings to use to call executables on the system. Glad if it...

Re: [Ann] macOS-Style ColorPicker designed for the Web
Hi everyone, I’m very happy :lol: to introduce a new macOS-style ColorPicker built specifically for the web. It’s perfect for situations where a native ColorPicker isn’t available. This ColorPicker is a self-contained group. When integrating it into your project, you might need to adjust the Behavi...

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
Its not an OS issue, MC, RR, LC never had the built-in ability to play sound sample pitch-shifted to different notes (unless you include 'beep' sine-waves on some OSes) There are a few ways to do realtime(ish) interactive musical sound... On Windows 10 you can still use the very old Win32 API MCI St...

Re: Using the Shell (command) and Exiftool
Maybe you need to either change the defaultFolder to where your command line app is before using it, or alternatively use quotes around the full path, "path/to/the/CLI/binary" too (not just around the filename parameters). Exit code 255 you're getting returned is a vague error, but maybe it could be...

Re: To open HyperCard Stacks with one command
Thank you for answering my newbie question. Unfortunately, the Livecode ICON in the dock did not respond when I tried to drag and drop a HyperCard stack. The converted Livecode stack responds fine and can be opened. I tried MacOS 12_7_6 (Monterey) ,Livecode 10_0_0. "But, I need to convert a stack o...

Re: Editing the Dictionary
The stack that does the export isn’t too complicated and can easily be run by anyone to host a copy of the docs locally. https://github.com/bwmilby/lc-misc/tree/master/WebDocMaker Darn, if I'd seen this before that would've saved me some time figuring out that there were non-relative links in those...

Re: Getting the key code
I'm pretty sure the rawKeyCodes enums list was set up way back when in the 1990s and, since MetaCard was a HyperCard clone, I'm guessing they were probably set to match HyperCard/classic macOS Roman character set This was incorrect information, sorry. The rawKey code numbers in fact are based on th...

I was surprised too that it didn't work out of the box but maybe it is coming? The LC roadmap indicates that there are updates for HTML5 on the way. WebAssembly and HiDPI scaling will make it a bit faster and look better. The last 3 weeks I'm 'fighting' with HTM5 because I think there is a lot of p...
