  • Hi. I am looking for something similar to simulate a click. I dont need to register if something was clicked, I need to let the app click on an object even if the user did not click.

    I need this for my latest "The Escapists Companion App" when running on Xbox One (snapped in Internet Explorer). There is a Searchbox where you can search for crafting recipes but when I use "Set Focus" to the input object it only puts the cursor there but does not show the onscreen keyboard until you press the A button on your gamepad. So I need to simulate pressing the A Button/clicking on the input object to show up the onscreen keyboard to let the users search immediately when they Hit the X Button (used to set focus right now).

    Is this possible?

  • Hi! After trying some things I think I found a solution. There may be many ways to improve it but it works for now.

    I added a Dictionary object to remove duplicates (full text search in array finds the word in itemname, parts, description and would show multiple buttons for the same item). If anyone knows a better/faster way to do this I would be glad to hear about it.

    Maybe someone else can need this for a future project. Here is the code:

  • Nice, is it possible to post a capx or see it in an online demo?

  • Hi. Did someone already test if you can include banners from sites like affili.net with the iframe plugin?

  • Thank you very much.

    I came up with something similar recently with my "The Escapists Companion", but I stored the index in a global variable.

    In my first attempt I created an array filled with Y positions (on start of layout set 0,0=100;0,1=150;0,2=200 and so on) and then set the position of the cursor to the value from the array.

    But I think I will use something else like image points instead of a list of coordinates next time.

  • Hi. I added a search box to my app and want to let users search for things in an array. The array stores some recipe data (itemname, part1, part2, part3, requiredskill...).

    I tried to use "Array: For each XY Element" and "Current Value = Searchbox.Text" but this does only give results when you enter the exact names of the values.

    How can I return partial results for an entry like "Knife" when the user enters "Kn" or "fe"? Do I need to use the RegEx actions or is there some other/easier way to do this?

  • Would be nice to have it on WindowsPhone, too. You can create new mobile apps in pubCenter admin panel and I tried to use them in my C2 Project but it does not seem to work. Are they working on it?

  • Thank you for your reply ASHLEY. So it seems Multiplayer is not possible as Win8 app or WinPhone app right now, only Android/Crosswalk may work and Node Webkit.

    I will test a few more things and hope everything works. If anyone knows how to fix WebFonts or use custom fonts in general, let me know please.

  • Thanks for your reply.

    I just exported my The Escapists Companion app and run it on my Windows Phone (Debug mode in Visual Studio). It seems Set WebFont does not work on WinPhone.

    Visual Studio shows this message: "APPHOST9601: Can’t load <http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Press+Start+2P>. An app can’t load remote web content in the local context." Is there some kind of workaround to use custom fonts?

    Anyone else using Windows 8 exports and knows limitations/issues? If some features are not working maybe it should be added to the manual?

  • Ah! I think I got it!

    I used the string "newline" and not just newline as separator (was used to this from using "," and other chars). It returns 2 now and if I add -1 to the tokencountloop it seems to work fine. Or any other ideas to improve/change it?

    the loop:

  • Hi. Since the XML Plugin does not seem to work right now (says XPath needs to be string instead of number, but I entered a string) I tried to use a comma separated list with values like:

    a1, b1, c1

    a2, b2, c2

    I loaded the textfile with AJAX and tried the tokenat and tokencount system actions. I tried to use "newline" and "&newline" as separator and it returns a number for tokencount (1) but it does not seem to work. I make a For loop from 0 to tokencount and saved the result in a local variable. Then I used tokenat with "," as separator for the stored string to get the data for this entry (each line is one entry) but it returns both lines with the linebreak after c1. Any ideas how this might work?

    Example code:

    Returned:

    [quote:3lfdhmi0]Stored Data: a1,b1,c1

    a2,b2,c3

    Stored Data:

  • Hi. Until now I used Node Webkit to export for Windows but I am considering to make them Win8 Apps which run on Windows and Windows Phones.

    I searched a bit but could not find a list of limitations or issues, yet. Are all Plugins from C2 (Ajax, Multiplayer, XML, UserData for Cam/Audio) working on Win8 exports?

    I tried an example capx today and noticed problems with the Audio Plugin. The BG sound was gone after another soundeffect was played. Is this a general issue or maybe just one in the current 197 beta build of C2?
