If you’re using the latest release of LiveCode 8.0 then the answer to that question is incredibly simple: just open up your stack and drag a browser control (the icon that looks like a little picture of the Earth) from the toolbar onto your stack. Then you can resize it however you like and open up the property inspector to set the url you want the browser to display. Easy!

The advantage of using LiveCode is the speed of iteration and ability to write the code once and deploy onto multiple platforms. LiveCode lets us concentrate on providing great solutions. We use it to improve on things quickly and continuously. This ensures that we always deliver the best experience for our users.
Canela Software has developed the leading Vision Testing System in the western hemisphere. Canela’s benefits include:
Canela needed to develop an integrated digital visual acuity system that would increase eye testing accuracy and productivity. Using a small team of developers, Canela needed the ability to deploy its software to multiple platforms efficiently.
To effectively participate in its targeted growth markets, Canela had to design a comprehensive set of technologies. Not only did Canela developers have to continue development on vision testing software, they also had to create licensing, CRM, auto update, credit card processing, and in-app purchasing technologies. On top of that, Canela designed CassiaDB, a custom database, to tie all of this together. These were large challenges for a small team to deliver, but with LiveCode, Canela made it all work.
Canela is now the top visual acuity system in the western hemisphere with over 9,000 installations. All of the technologies Canela developed, including CassiaDB, were written entirely in LiveCode. With LiveCode, Canela was able to use out-of-the box features to design its service. Canela Software is currently augmenting its desktop and server business with mobile tie-ins. This is an inclusive approach to providing Canela solutions on any device and it secures Canela’s place in the market as it looks into the future.
LiveCode has had support for clipboard operations since the very early days, using the clipboard function and the clipboardData property. These are perfectly good if plain text, RTF and images are all you need to put on the clipboard but sometimes you need a little more than that.

During the last week of September we tried a new model to fund specific feature development for the LiveCode platform – The Feature Exchange. A simple crowd-funding platform, the idea was that we could raise money from the community to implement contained and specified features in a well estimated timescale.
read moreI am not a programmer. I am an educator and I have used many programming languages – going back to HyperCard – for their short learning curves, power, and ease of use. Over the years, I’ve used LiveCode to create many educational applications for the university and my publishing company, Medmaster. LiveCode has been enormously useful to create apps for Windows and Macintosh. For instance, the app “Atlas of Human Diseases,” which describes in pictures and text over 11,000 diseases in the world, could take a lifetime to do as a book, but it required only a few days with LiveCode.
