LiveCode Forums.

I would like to have a custom answer / ask / ask password function, that pops up, for example a picture with a speech bubble with the text inside, but while staying on the current card - It should just float on top.

Can anyone push me in the right directions?

Thanks,

Carel

Hi Carel,

if you need it to "stay" on the card = no extra window like the build-in dialogs,
I would create a group, that you can show/hide as neccessary.
Know what I mean?

Hi Klaus,

I was thinking of something that I could call from any card for example:

myAnswer "bla bla bla"

Thanks,

Carel

Hi Carel,

i thought you did not want an extra window?

Well, then you can create a stack and open it MODAL,
of course you need to script a bit top make:
myanswer "bla bla bla"
work

Check "modal" and "dialogdata" in the dictionary.

Hi Klaus,

I Apologise,

I should have set an extra card, not window.

I'll check out the dictionary.

BTW I just figured out how to make a graphic bigger with mouseEnter and back to size with mouseLeave a minute ago - I think I'm so cool!!

Thanks,

Carel
