The Inspector is a subset of properties, showing only the most commonly used one. But LC is a deep language, so there's always something new to discover. This Property Sheet tool shows all props returned from "the properties":dunbarx wrote:Well what do you know, Cards have borders, even though that property is not present in the inspector.

Exactly. In this early stage of LCB widgets are not yet first-class citizens with regard to some universal ways of working with objects in LC Script. My understanding is that there's interest in unifying this currently-bifurcated introspection by allowing property access with widgets via "the properties". When that happens my 4W Property Sheet and everything else in our community that works with "the properties" will automatically handle widgets just as gracefully.PaulDaMacMan wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 6:19 pmI just found your tool while working on some Widget Properties... Just an FYI, it doesn't list some Widget properties, at least not beyond some of the basics. For example: I've shadowed the LiveCode property borderColor in my Widget (along with a some others standard and some custom props too) but that isn't listed. Maybe because 'the properties' is limited or hasn't been updated to support Widget properties? Still a useful tool though, thanks!
OK, Widgets have been part of LC for at least 5-6 years so I assumed they were already first-class citizens by now.FourthWorld wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 6:42 pmExactly.
