Mobile Browser overlays
I am trying to overlay a field on a browser control. It's my LC version of Android toast. I can't see the field even if I set its layer to top. Both Android and iOS do the same thing. Did I miss something or this not possible? Thanks.

Re: Mobile Browser overlays
Do you mean a livecode field or a native one? All livecode objects are in a view that is below the native views. You can layer multiple native views on top though.

RE: Mobile Browser overlays
Monte, I was using a livecode field object. This worked on every card except for the one with the native browser. I will use a native input object and set to read-only. Is the layer position determined solely by the order they are created? And I guess there is no transparency possible either. Thanks!

Yes, backgroundColor has an alpha channel.

RE: Mobile Browser overlays
Monte, I don't see a backgroundColor property for the native input control, just the text color. Thanks again for all your help!

Re: Mobile Browser overlays
I tried that once and it won't work. The browser control writes directly to the monitor (ver od). It's not an actual object. What that means is when you activate the browser, it writes over and obscures all other objects on the screen. They all become inaccessible. I was trying to write a simple app that went to a URL and displayed a full screen of a web based streaming video for someone who was very bad with computers, and also had poor eyesight. The idea was, just click on the screen once to show the video, and again to hide it. The show part worked, but I could not hide it because the browser overwrote all that was on the screen, in front or in back.

It's one of the core props for all native objects. -- M E R Goulding Software development services mergExt - There's an external for that!

RE: Mobile Browser overlays
Is it hidden? It does not appear an either the Android or iOS release notes. I'm using 5.5.3 I'll give it a try(mobileControlSet idOrName, "backgroundColor", "r,g,b,a") and see what happens.

It's in the dictionary entry for mobileControlSet, near the top of the listed properties, but in the category "Global Properties/All native iOS controls". So I'm not sure if it will work on Android but as you say, try it. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
