I’m experiencing difficulties with managing complex UI interactions and event handling in my LiveCode application. The issue revolves around updating multiple UI elements dynamically based on user interactions and handling various events correctly.
I have a main interface with several buttons, fields, and custom controls. When a user interacts with one control, it should trigger updates across multiple other controls. However, these updates don’t always happen as expected.
I’m also trying to manage custom events triggered by certain actions. For example, when a user clicks a button, a custom event should be fired, and other parts of the script should respond to that event. Sometimes the event handlers don’t fire correctly or seem to conflict with other events.
UI Updates: Sometimes the UI elements don’t update as expected. For example, the "Submit" button may not disable or enable properly, or the text in fields might not update as intended.Event Handling: The custom event updateStatus doesn’t always execute as expected, and sometimes conflicts with other events. This causes inconsistencies in the UI and makes the application behave unpredictably.
Are there best practices for managing complex UI updates and ensuring that multiple UI elements are updated consistently based on user interactions?
How can I avoid conflicts between custom events and other events in LiveCode, and ensure that event handlers execute as intended?
