Port Application.

[RicSum]

Hello everyone.

I have made my app (for Windows) using RealStudio and would now like to port it to the iPad (using LiveCode).
Before I pay over £500 to buy LiveCode, could someone please advise me if this is possible:

(Please excuse the RealStudio terms and phrases - I know nothing about LiveCode)

My app would be for iPad only, and consists of 1 window, containing a ListBox which reads data in from a SQLite database.
I also need a button which will show another popup window - whereby the user can edit the selection in the listBox and then when saved - edits the database entry.
I also need the database to be searchable via a third window.

Is it also possible to have alternating row colours for the ListBox (or whatever it is called in LiveCode).

I really want to buy LiveCode but obviously need to be able to achieve my goals.

Thank you all in advance for any help / advice offered.

Hi RicSum,

all this is possible with LiveCode
For alternating row colors, use a DataGrid to display your data.

Oh, you speak french!
Just kidding

If you already installed LiveCode you will find it on your HD!
In Livecode -> Menu: Help -> Example Stacks and Resources -> Folder: Example: SQLite Sampler.rev

Ah, and welcome to the forum!

With the latest version of LiveCode you don't even need a datagrid to set alternating rows, you can set a different background color on each line/paragraph.
