Can the Browser control on desktop apps?

Post by tomcam » Thu May 26, 2016 1:38 am

I'd like to create an ios/Android app that visits eBay and selects an auction. It appears that the browser control only works on mobile devices, judging from the "How do I use the browser control?" article and sample code. For testing purposes I would love for this control to work on the desktop (OS X in my case).

Does the browser control work on desktop apps or am I just out of luck? I am guessing that with verbs like mobileControlSet I'm out of luck, but just wanted to double-check.

As of LiveCode 8 there is a drag and drop browser widget that should work on all platforms. :D

Hi Tom,

if you are using LC < 8, check the "revBrowser..." commands in the dictionary.
But it is really not a bad thing to switch to LC 8! :D


Best

Klaus
