LiveCode Forums.

Point your phone somewhere and have it execute code "just so?"
I think the security implications render the idea nil and void.

Most typical bashing and complaining smacks of frustration, as if a miracle was expected but failed to deliver; these are lost souls that either did not spend enough time to reach a "eureka" moment, or just aren't built that way.


Not a miracle exactly, but it is true that expectations were ...

Thanks for the info. I figured that much. I take it that there is no way to create reusable custom controls?

I figure I can assign the name of the text field to a custom property of the scrollbar control ("little arrows"), which the scrollBarLineInc and scrollBarLineDec handlers could query. This ...

Well, I'm glad that I contributed to your amusement. I should have explained. By spinbutton , I refer to a text field designated for entry of numeric data, which is accompanied by a pair of up / down arrows for keyboard-less entry. Click the up button to increase the number shown in the edit field ...

You can also get at the standalone builder's strings to set up the uRIP properties during development if you need to:

put the cREVStandaloneSettings["Windows,productversion1"] of this stack into tVersion1

Where would one find out those things? cREVStandaloneSettings isn't listed in the ...

Thanks. I fully appreciate that Livecode may do things different to other tools, and supporting multiple targets has its challanges. The uRiP convention - fine. Is this written up somewhere, or does it only exist in an endless message trail of a Yahoo group?

Looking at the toolbox: am I right in thinking that I must create spinbuttons myself, from a text entry field and a vertical scrollbar?
Also not sure if there is a way to create one such control once, in a re-usable fashion.

When defining properties of the Windows standalone application target, I can specify file and product version numbers as is common for this platform. Not all targets seem to support this.

I was hoping for a mechanism that

a) supports at least one major.minor.build version number tuple on all ...

... Give it a chance, if you have problems you will certainly get the answers you need, either here on the forum, or on the use-list… but please, don't run it down until you are more than a little 'au-fait' with the syntax and how to employ it…

Fair point. I am investing time and money into ...

The whole thing seems to be hugely over-advertised.

Fact seems to be that LC runs in some browsers on some platforms and under certain conditions, with the wind behind. That's fine, but not really impressive, let alone convincing.

I was hoping for the web aspect when I licensed LC, because that ...

Well, mwieder, this is all nice and great. I think you are offering an advance debugger, and that's great, but then, I browse this forum with Chrome, click on your demo link and - nothing. Chrome isn't supported. (I'll check your stuff out using Firefox when I have a moment, tomorrow.)

Anyone who ever wrote a compiler or interpreter knows that the easiest error recovery tool reports "an error occurred at line X," and knows that meaningful error messages aren't cheap and aren't easy. I think LiveCode has lowered the standards to a new level though. Just try a simple mistake of ...

I am pretty new to LC (not new to programming), and enjoy it mostly because LC is different . What I don't enjoy is the immature nature of the runtime code, or engine. This forum alone is full of reports about things that should work but don't. Based on my -so far- limited experience, there're a lot ...

I'd really like to see a "grown up" debugger. Functions like show callstack, dedicated watches, conditional breakpoints, set next point of execution, run to cursor are common among modern debuggers, and I miss them dearly. It's a real shame LiveCode's debugger is so lamentably underpowered.

Following an earlier inquiry (http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11469), I can now cut a snapshot from a hidden image, apply the new image to the icon of a button, and apply some simple graphic effects to the snapshot.

I find that I can set the button's icon first, then apply the graphic ...
