This is the shape of an option button shown on live code.

This is the shape of the same option button shown on iOS device.


The shape of the button shown on iOS is terrible. How can I get rid of the right part to just show the number?
Is this default look of a button changeable in livecode?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,

unfortunately the Livecode native "Look and feel" of objects on iOS
is "Emulated motif" and you cannot do anything against this.

Except "rolling your own" or using this:
http://mobgui.com
Or this:
http://tmtools.tactilemedia.com/tmcontrol/

Supplying native mobile controls is on the to do list, but might take a while
before its is ready...

Hi Michael,
You don't have to use buttons to get a button...errr... OK, what I mean is an image can be used instead of a button. It's all in scripting as to what the object does.

I've attached a simple stack for you to see.

Hi, Klaus, thanks for the links. I've tried other ways to make buttons look better in iOS devices. That would be probably enough on "looking" level.

Hi, Simon

I've read the script in the livecode file you provided. That was really a great clue for me. I did not need to have a button, one image with scripts will achieve the goal.

Thanks! By the way, do you know how activate the keyboard of "number only" and display the value in a field?

Look up mobileSetKeyboardType in the dictionary.
