School Desktop App

Project - Make a Personal or School Desktop App

Create an app with Documents and Links for yourself or your school (school, class, club, etc). Make it something that your or someone else will really use. Include your favorite links and documents

e.g.
    School app with links to its website, and include documents such as bell schedule, school calendar, events, teams with photos and game schedule, staff emails, club sponsors,  etc
    Personal app with projects that you are working on, favorite websites, etc
    Team app with game schedule, photos, sports links, etc
    


     


 (more examples at the bottom of this page....



Opening the Websites inside of your App:


Adding a Browser Widget

    open up LiveCode 8.1

    drag over a browser widget (window)

    name it and change the url


Changing the url address:

    on a button, add the code:

        

    ...to be done


Ask the user for the url:

Create a button and add this to the script:


        on mouseUp

               ask "What is the Internet address to go to?"

               put it into myurl

               launch url "http://" & myurl

        end mouseUp


It will pop-up a dialog box asking the user for an Internet address, then open it up in a browser window.



Notes:
      if a filename has a space in the document name then revBrowser will silently fail. Replacing space with %20 cures this. replace " " with "%20" in myUrl
