So I have a widget I created that I am currently using in several stacks. How do I test and install changes to a widget without messing up my stacks? Let me give an example... I have a widget where I needed to add "pass onMouseMove" in the script in order to make it move (obviously). So my procedure...

Is it working in LC9 yet?

ok, it was another error in the dictionary... should be "schedule timer in 1 seconds" not "schedule timer in 1 second"

I'm trying to create a "button" that can be held down to increment a number my plan was to use mouseDown to initiate a timer, but I keep getting a compile error so really I have 2 questions: 1. how do I need to work my "schedule timer" command 2. is there a better way to try and hold down a button? ...

I was mostly just trying to make the example work, though a color picker would be a great widget

so for a popup widget... do i need to program the widget separately to return the value to the parent? I'm ssuming I can't just use any widget since there needs to be some way to get a specific value...

the confusion for me really started because I was remembering the default script that used to get populated for certain widgets, and all of the built-in widgets still have the defaultscript.livecodescript file with them. Didn't realize at that time that they were no longer being populated on purpose...

From the widgets course: You can also link to other standard Livecode properties beyond the basic, built in set. (misc example info) To access it we have to specify that the widget has the property, but we do not have to define the property itself . If the way to use them is to define them, then A. ...

this brings me back to my original question... how?

how do I use the textAlign property in my code?
how do I use the selected property in my code?
how do I use the penColor property in my code?

how do I access them in my code?

I still can't find any other reference to "ColorPicker"

I seem to be going in circles, here's the point I'm making. We have a list of built-in properties that we can activate in a widget. I'm using textAlign as an example. As I see it, there are 4 possiblities: 1. Setting a built-in property in a widget just works, and can be utilized with statements lik...

Let me try this from another direction. I've been playing with textAlign and textStyle. If I enable the textStyle property and set the bold and/or italic, it appears that "my font" becomes bold or italicized. None of the other textStyle properties seem to do anything. If I enable textAlign, it does ...

what I am interested in is how to apply these properties within LCB, how do I call them in a handler I mean some of them I might not have a need for within tht ewidget's code, but what does setting a pattern do? does setting the backPattern just do something, or do i have to tell the widget to do so...

So I'm looking over the list of built-in properties that can be accessed, but I cannot find any documentation as to how to use them. Is there a way to call textFont and/or textSize other than through "my font"? Say I just wanted to get the size, how would I get it? Also I'm looking at these properti...

Is there such a widget as "com.livecode.widget.ColorPicker"? I was trying to follow the "PopupWidget" example: private variable mColor as Color public handler OnClick() variable tProperties as Array put the empty array into tProperties put mColor into tProperties["currentColor"] popup widget "com.li...

using your library, it didn't happen... actually, I don't think it is happening with libraries, only widgets
