Cannot Edit Cards

[OldTrog]

This is my first project. I've got a stack of 3 cards. The first card has six buttons and some text. I haven't written any code. The other two cards have a Logo and a title.

I'd saved the project and now want to develop it further. I can edit the text, but cannot add any more buttons. Same on the other cards. I did see a brief message saying something about I cannot edit the card. Not sure how I got that to pop up and I have not been able to replicate it.

Why can't I edit the cards?

Check the Inspector see if the stack's cantModify may have been set to true.

The inspector isn't opening. It appears as a live button, but nothing happens when I click on it.

You have now entered a Twilight Zone unlike anything I've seen in my 20 years with this platform.

There must be something in either your code or a plugin altering the IDE's behavior.

Have you added any plugins recently?

What is a "live button"? A sort of "standard" button that one pulls from the tool palette? And does this button float on the "desktop" somewhere, or on the stack window?

What happens if you restart LC?

I wonder if what you mean by a "live Button" is this:

If so, this means that all the sections of the ToolBar are hidden.

To reveal those sections you want do this:
-

-
Mind you, I don't know what you mean by "the inspector."

As far as I'm aware, when you open LiveCode is should open the MenuBar stack
and the ToolBar stack.

If you could post us a screenshot here things would be a lot easier to understand.

Just to be clear. This is my first project. So far I haven't added any code just created 3 cards. The first card has buttons two to navigate to the other two cards where I will enter data, and one which I plan to use as a reset. I have not added any plugins either. I can access the project browser and I have started a new project. On this the inspector opens.

When I open the originial project the Inspector and Code buttons appear live. If I click on either they appear to be unavailable and nothing happens.

Well, we know now that this is v9.0.2, which OS are you using?

[OldTrog]

Well sort of. I'm not sure how I got the Inspector active again, other than trawling through the menu and clicking on a few options. Anyway as soon as Inspector became activty Richard was correct there was a lock on the edit. Thanks.

Good to hear. Probably a gremlin. I breed these.

"Enabled" and "disabled" are the properties that allow controls to be available for user action.
