Hi Xero,

Finally circling back to this. Yup! Scanned and read correctly! Thank you so much!

Best regards,

Hi all,

Sorry to bother you all with some trivial but I would like to change the color of the background in a tab menu:
I've set every available fill color to red and the color doesn't change. Can this be done?

Thank you,
Jon

Hi Xero, Thanks again for your help. All this is over my head so I'm going to need to spend some time dissecting the code to try and understand how it all works. Since originally posting this thread, I found a website that does online barcode generation and provides the HTML code that can be used to...

Hi Xero, Thank you so much for the reply. I gave your POC a whirl (VERY cool by the way!!!). I tried creating a barcode of "123". The generated barcode was scannable by the barcode scanning app on my Android phone but what's interesting is that it read as a UPC-E barcode. I went to a website that ge...

Hi Klaus, So far, I'm not having any luck getting a code 128 barcode to scan/read using a font. For comparison, I went to the following website: https://barcode.tec-it.com/en/Code128?data=1234567890 The barcode generated on that site reads/scans immediately but when I type the same string of charact...

Hi Klaus,

That's very encouraging and I am very happy to hear that. I will definitely revisit this!!

Thank you so much,
Jon

Hi Klaus, I will revisit using a barcode font but it's been my experience that while one can type characters using the associated barcode font, the barcode isn't readable/scannable with a barcode reader. I don't know, maybe the barcode fonts have gotten better. Hopefully this is the case as that wil...

Hello Jon, on Windows or linux try the command line /shell tool "barcode_gen". Use it with the Livecode shell() function. It's free and open source under either of Apache License, Version 2.0 or MIT license. Supported barcode types are: EAN13, EAN8, CODE39, CODE93, CODE11, CODE128, CODABAR, ITF (2 ...

Hi Jon,

check QRCREATE in the dictionary!

Hi Klaus,

Thank you for the reply but I am not looking to create QR codes (at least not for the project I am working on). I need to create Code 128 and EAN barcodes.

Best regards,

Hi all, Can LC either natively or by other means (widget or plugin maybe?) generate a readable/scannable barcode? Likely symbologies that will be used are EAN and Code 128 (there might be others). I know there are fonts out there that can do it but it's been my experience that while you can type var...

I think I will add a numeric keypad to it.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Klaus, That kind of works. The keyboard automatically appears but nothing happens when I tap any of the keys. Only after I close the keyboard does the text I tapped appear in the text field in my app. The other thing I noticed is that the keyboard that is called by my app is not the same keyboard...

Hi Klaus,

I tried this and so far, no luck. I put the code into the script of the text field trying both mouseUp and mouseDown. What am I missing?

Thank you so much!
Jon

HI all, I have built a tiny app that runs on some all-in-one Windows 10 touch screen PC's (no physical keyboard or mouse). The app contains a text field and when I tap it to enter some text, I would like to have the PC/Windows virtual keyboard automatically appear (I can invoke it manually by tappin...

Hi all, If you wanted to ensure that an LC app you wrote could only be used on company PC's (and not outside the company), how would you go about doing that? One idea I had was to have the app ping an internal company server at startup. If it couldn't ping it, the app would close. I know there are m...
