Can't find Third Party Tab

Post by CAsba » Sun Nov 20, 2022 10:35 am

Hi,
I was looking for a way to re-size my standalone app for the various screens it might be displayed on. I came up weith this:

"Resizing your app with Responsive Layout

In today's world of multiple devices and form factors, you need a way to display your app perfectly whether the user is on the latest Mac Retina screen or a tiny Android handheld device. Enter the Responsive Layout Library!
Download and Install the Library

First locate your Responsive Layout library on the Third Party tab of your account. Scroll down until you find the Enhancements Bundle. Download the bundle."

I logged into my LiveCode account but there was no Third Party tab. This mystifies me, what did I do wrong ?

No menu on the left side of your LC account?

Of course there is another way to resize your stack:

Code: Select all

on openStack
   put item 3 of the screenRect into WIDD
   put item 4 of the screenRect into HITE
   set the width of me to WIDD
   set the height of me to HITE
   set the topLeft of me to 0,0
end openStack
Then, of course, you have to do a lot of work resizing and positioning
buttons, fields and everything else on the stack.

Or just a one-liner:

Code: Select all

on openStack
   set the RECT of me to the screenrect
end openStack

CAsba.

Do you see what "me" refers to here? It is usually clear when one is talking about, say, a button that you click on, where one might have in the script of the button itself:

Code: Select all

set the rect of me to "0,0,400,400"
But in this case "me" refers, a bit indirectly, to the stack. It would be the same as if you put that line in the stack script, and clicked in blank space somewhere on the card.

All that said, I suggest that you be clearer:

Code: Select all

set the rect of this stack to "0,0,400,400"

Thanks you guys,
I tried both your propenstack suggestions; I liked Klaus's full screen, except there was no user access to screens commands.
Would it be possible to modify
'set the RECT of me to the screenrect'

to something like

'set the RECT of me to the screenrect * 90%'

or similar to set a slightly smaller screen where the screen commands might still be visible ?

Other selections on the screen available to the user. There's probably a better word for it ...a bar ? Containing, say, the time, date, wifi status, etc.

What platform are we talking about?
Mac, Windows or even mobile Android/iOS?

Hint:
On mobile a stack will automatically have its -> fullscreen mode set to true.
On desktop you can always -> set the fullscreen of this stack to TRUE
