Exploring Undocumented revAvailableHandlers function

Post by Hutchboy » Fri Nov 28, 2025 5:04 am

Hi,

I was busy looking to create a quick function to list all of the handlers in an object and stumbled on Richard Gaskin's comment to a LiveCode Lesson in which he mentioned "revAvailableHandlers" (which is not in the LC documentation that I can find). It also shows up a number of times in a search of the forums. I put together this small stack to test it out and it works.

The Test Button just contains a variety of handlers.

I wonder How Richard Gaskin knew about that function if it is not in the documentation.
