LiveCode Forums.

Is there a way/add-on that can show a list
of the hidden objects?

When there are a lot of them using the show
function isn't much help.

Um, well I'm sure this is too obvious, but the Project Browser shows all items all the time regardless of their state. Navigator (Development-> Plugins) also shows all the controls regardless of state (and does a lot more than that, worth exploring).

Hi.

Bogs uses gadgets like the Project Browser and Navigator. You should, too.

If there are a LOT of them, even these can get ungainly. So why do you want such a list? I am not being flip; I can think of many reasons, but yours may allow us to think of the best way to store, display or modify it.

Another way is to use LC's View menu and select "Show invisible objects".

Bogs does no such thing hahaha. When I want to see any invisible controls, I run a repeat loop through the controls and set the visible property hahaha.

Mc doesn't have a project browser, not in the sense Lc does anyway.

Well, for someone who does not use them, you sure talk about them a lot.

That is true. I am certainly aware they are there (in Lc), and I don't expect someone asking a question about how to do 'x' to want to write repeat loops to do what is readily available in the IDE

If the majority of people asking the question could be reasonably assumed to be using Rev 1.1 or 2.2, I'd have mentioned the 'Application overview' (nothing else was there at the time), Navigator didn't show up till 2.5 iirc. YMMV

As for the PB itself, I think it was most useful between v.6.01 to 7.14, I consider the new one pretty awful in comparison, but I doubt that is news to anyone hah. Maybe the next revision of it will be better.

Hi RossG and the gang!
sorry to barge in but ...
I have a page full of listings in my Project Browser and can't figure out how to clear them out. None of them respond to clicking. I've shut down and rebooted. Most are various library files that my app must have called but sure like to clean it up. Seems to be related to all the messages I get when I try to Save As Stand Alone as well.

Without a screen shot to confirm it, it sounds like you are viewing LiveCode UI elements in lists. Go to the 'View' menu, and make sure 'LiveCode UI elements in lists' is unchecked.
