iBeam

Type

constant

Summary

Equivalent to the number 9.

Syntax

iBeam

Description

Use the iBeam constant to set the cursor to an I-beam, suitable for placing a text insertion point in a field.

The following two statements are equivalent:

    set the cursor to iBeam
    set the cursor to 9

However, the first is easier to read and understand in LiveCode.

Important

If you use the iBeam cursor or other standard cursors in your application, you must include it when you create your standalone. Make sure the "Cursors" option on the Inclusions section on the General screen of the Standalone Application Settings window is checked.
