LiveCode Forums.

So im kind of at a loss as to how I can use the widgets that are in the toolbox. The one i am trying to use at the moment is the mobil header widget. So i added a couple of extra options to the widget. One a setttings icon and the other the plus icon to add new. Then there is the three lines icon on the left that usually is for a menu or something on mobile. ANd then i am lost. How do i add a click event for the added icons and how do I add items to the menu on the left? I couldn't find any good documentation on the widgets or how to actually use one.. The tutorials online are a little outdated.

I have been trained in C++ and understand how to read code, but its been 15 years since I coded anything and decided LC would be a great place to start so I might as well be a complete newb at this point in time. Help!

Hi wookielover,

1. welcome to the forum!
2. If you are using LC 8 DP 12, please download an earlier version, since the dictionary is broken in DP 12
Get it here: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/

Then open the dictionary (Menu: Help) and select the widget you want to see the syntax for from the pop up on the topleft.
