more iOS questions
I am slowly getting there on this first iPad project, but things that should be fairly easy simply aren't for me. First the keyboard I now know about the on keyboardActivated on keyboardDeactivated handlers, but I can''t figure out how to use it. In some cases I want the app to slide up with the keyboard. I seemed to me that in that handler I should set loc the bottom of the stack to to the top of the keyboard, so I tried setting item 2 in the bottomLeft of the stack to item 2 in the topLeft of the keyboard. But the script editor doesn't accept calling the keyboard the keyboard. How does one refer to the native keyboard? Or is this aproach just plain wrong? Returning to the app from another app How does one get the app to be suspended and then resumed? Everytime I return to the app its seems to have quit and it restarts. In the liveCode dictionary, suspend and resume don't apply to mobile systems. How is this done? MobGui I couldn't make a native scroller myself, so I tried mobGui. Is it not possible to try before you buy? Because I followed the simple instructions for a native scrolling text field, but on the iPad it made no difference whatsoever. Can't one try mobGui on a device begore you buy it? I plan to buy it, but I'd like to at least see if these things work before I do.

The latest release has added the effective working screenrect which gives you the useable dimensions of the screen when the keyboard is showing. The second item in the rect would be the top of the keyboard. Returning to the app from another app How does one get the app to be suspended and then resumed? Everytime I return to the app its seems to have quit and it restarts. In the liveCode dictionary, suspend and resume don't apply to mobile systems. How is this done? Apps will always quit, the engine doesn't yet support suspend. To return to where the user left off, trap the shutdown message and save the current state of the app to a file on disk. On preOpenStack, restore it. MobGui I couldn't make a native scroller myself, so I tried mobGui. Is it not possible to try before you buy?

I plan to buy it, but I'd like to at least see if these things work before I do. The last time I checked, MobGUI was fully functional even if unregistered, but on a device or in a simulator it showed a dialog when the app launched that said it was an unlicensed version. If you aren't seeing anything at all, there might be a problem with the stack or the scripts. -- 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
