Bring object in front of native GUI element - Making a call on iPhone device

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hey there,

    1st QUESTION:
    I have a tooltip saved as a graphic (.PNG) and want it to stay in front of all objects/elements on the screen. Unfortunately the iOS Multiple Line Editbox always gets in front of my tooltip - is there any solution how to fix this or any workaround?

    2nd QUESTION:
    How can a user of my app make a call to another person which telephone number is displayed on the screen? Is there any extension or how would I edit my XCode-Project to handle that?

    Thanks for your help :D

  • Hey,
    Not sure about the first one but I can help you for the second one.
    To place a call open a url like this:

    Code
    tel:12345678


    Obviously replacing 12345678 with the phone number you wish to call

    Good luck

  • Atrox - You'll need to find an object that appears on the UIKit layer (things like the iOS Button, iOS Edit Box, etc) and put your tooltip.png in that.
    The way it works for iOS is all the UI elements on a layer over an OpenGL layer for all the Actives and backdrops.

  • Thanks to both of you, I have already finished my project without the ability to make a call or having the tooltip in top of all elements.

    'Cause I've no iPhone (only iPod Touch 4th Gen.) I cannot test your possible solution, Tim - but it sounds good 'cause in objective c the code looks similar.
