LiveCode Forums.

Having tried various coding experiments in the past two months in my efforts to learn Rev's syntax, I decided to compare Rev with Ruby. I found an article written by Yukihiro Matsumoto (Ruby's creator) which had a comparison of Ruby, Perl, and Python. One of the snippets of code benchmarks these lan...

To Bernd: Very nice solution, indeed! I am a beginning Rev user just learning the language and found this question to be a great learning opportunity. I know I learned a great deal about Rev's array handling capabilities. Also, I would like to contribute to the forum as much as possible. This is my ...

...Also, you don't need to copy+paste the validation code into every single field: you can use behaviors to centralize logic. Jan Schenkel. I knew there must be a way. Thank you. I found the information in the online Dictionary and tried the behaviors lessons. Very nice. (Programming in Revolution ...

Now I can't get rich by creating my own and charging $99.

Right

But what if -- for example -- the Script Editor would list all scripts in every open stack, so that one could just select a script and.....

nevermind...I'm tired and I waste too much time here...

Please implement a robust data validation feature set into Revolution. Why? To maintain consistent and accurate data entry. Consider the very simple scenario of requiring a user to enter data into a field. This data may be part of a primary key in a database and which must not be empty. So, why wast...

You beat me to the punch with this request. This would be a fantastic native feature; although, like bangkok said, you can create your own functions in Rev. I am a recent Revolution user, having just purchased Studio the end of January. I decided on Revolution over other tools (open source included)...

Having just started learning Revolution, I can find no way to browse an application's scripts like one can browse an application's object with the Application browser.

I would like to see a Script Browser feature implemented in a future release, please.

I see I am not the only one who had trouble implementing this tab control in the tutorial! Once I had built my cards with the tab control set as background, it would not switch cards. I could not understand why. I thought the object script was not triggering; so, I placed an "answer whatTab" within ...

8) I get it. And I got it: revStudio, that is! Thanks for all your answers to my enquiry. One lesson learned: Never try to evaluate software by just reading the manual. :roll: Besides, I figured I can learn XCode/Python (or ObjC) later if I want to implement some extensions (already have a few ideas).

I would like to request that the capsule button type for Mac OS X be added. This is the button style that you see at the top of a Mail.app or Preview.app window, for example. Additionally, the Standard Icons Image Library (property setting "Icons & Borders") needs to be updated to the current look. ...

Wow! Great input, everyone. Just what I was looking for. I wanted an RSS reader. I coded a prototype in Rev in a day (knowing nothing about RSS) and in under a week I had a complete application that I use every day now. Very cool. I was also considering that as a "sample" project to compare the lang...

Thank you, Dixie.

I appreciate the input.

Why is it that the Quit item in the Application Menu cannot be implemented properly? It just isn't right that the Quit item shows up in the File menu.

If it has anything to do with Mac OS Classic support -- by all means kill it. Does anyone even create applications to run in Classic anymore?
