UIWebview??? I'm going to try this! One huge advantage is to be able to display html with formatting and images.

Without being too mean here, doesn't this seem like a completely unacceptable solution? If we have to use a webview as a hack to get scrolling speeds vaguely acceptable, remind me why we're even using LiveCode? A shell webkit app in cocoa seems to do the trick for free.

I guess I'm frustrated with the state of LiveCode iOS still. I'm glad Apple has re-allowed third party development environments, but I understand what Steve Jobs was saying about sub-optimal experiences. We've had well over a year, and we still don't have a fluid scroller, something almost every app has. This just seems unacceptable. I mean no offense to the folks at RunRev, I know this isn't easy, it's crazy that I spent the last 3 weeks learning enough Cocoa to make some simple apps that perform and feel vastly better than the app I've been trying to hack around limitations for in the last 3 months.

Rapid Deployment is only rapid when you can actually build what you need to.

You are not being mean at all - I completely agree.

Jellicle I was able to make a decent scrolling datagrid by grouping a simple rectangle with it first, and locking the size and location to the rectangle dimensions, the datagrid height being much taller. I couldn't tell if that was how you achieved this effect, or if you used a field? Does it matter?

Thanks

My solution avoids the use if a data grid - it uses HTML and a browser object.

I see. I download some example stacks that used datagrids, they were from you, no?

Nope.

Hi All,

1)Does anybody have an update regarding an appropriate way of having a real smooth scrolling field?
I stopped my project on iPad due to that (Scrolling 20 label of 400x100 on a scrolling field still choppy).

2)Who knows if the guys at Runrev are working on adding/fixing proper Native UI?

If anybody has a stack with smooth scrolling i will really appreciate. (i tried to access the example of Jellicle with no joy)

Thx to all for your support.

Have you tried the new acceleratedRendering? That helps a lot in making scrolling fields smooth.

Thank You Very Much Jacque!!!!!

That was it!!! Now the scrolling is perfect!!
