htmletext in ios ?

[vedus]

i have try some methods to show up Greek chars in the dialogs but no success until now
the Greek letters in desktop (mac-Windows) is working ok,but in the ios (ipad) i get the source from the answer dialog.
i am using a hidden fld
here is the code

Code: Select all

put the dgdataofindex[it] of control "grid1" into myarray
  put myArray["first_name"]&& myArray["last_name"] into theKey
  set the unicodetext of fld "text1" to uniencode(theKey,"utf8")
set the htmltext of field "text1" to mTag
 answer question "Delete"&& (mTag) with "Delete" and "No"

the last photo is from ipad!!
any clue or solution about this?

Hi vedus,

the explanation is this simple:
In livecode the "Ask" and "Answer" dialogs are just STACKS and are scripted (by RunRev) to display HTMLTEXT if you supply it!
On iOS and Android, these dialogs are supplied by the underlying OS and that OS does not know at all what HTMLTEXT means,
because HTMLTEXT is a Livecode specific term!

OK, that's what's happening here, but I have no idea how to workaround this.

hi klaus and merry christmas
Well was a good explanation about the problem.
from that i have figure out until now,there is no way to show up greek words in ios dialog:(

Hi vedus,

well, why not build your own "dialog" in that case?
Create and show/hide a group with that look and you are done
