Hi everybody,
I am trying to figure out if it's possible to use LCB to create widgets that embed standard LC controls like field or buttons.
The aim of this kind of "studies" is to understand if I can create reusable custom controls accessible from the standard LC toolbar (I.E. like datagrid).
Actually I don't know if the use of widgets is the right way to obtain what I would like to reach.
Can someone give me some hints about this?

Ciao Giovanni,

maybe you should browse the great works of HermannHoch (-hh), I'm sure he made something like this already:

Hi Klaus, thanks for prompt feedback.
I will have a deeper look on the thread you suggested but after just a quick view I can say that there is no way to use LC native controls (buttons, fields etc) in a widget, isn't it? Everything must be "designed" on the go, am I right?

Sorry, I am very good at Livecode but have no idea about the LCB stuff.
