Working with scrolling list views

[pony]

Arggh, I really want to like this product but the documentation for iOS is terrible.

I have a simple action in a button

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put shell ("ls") into shelltext

I'm trying to put the results in to a scrolling list view called directoryList. I've tried

Code: Select all

set contents of directoryList to shelltext

and

Code: Select all

put shelltext in to contents of directoryList

I've tried countless other variations.

One would imagine this is pretty simple to do. Where can I read more on how this should work.

Hi pony,

...
put shell("ls") into fld "directoryList"
...
## or the long way:
put shell("ls") into shelltext
put shelltext into fld "directoryList"
...

I recommend to work through one if not all of these stacks here to get the (obviously missing) basics of LiveCode:

The only docs for the iOS version are in fact the "iOS Release Notes" that you can access in LiveCode with:
Menu: Help -> iOS Release Notes
