in 2004:

Right—I saw the Code Editor was disabled, and I figured if I created a stack using the IDE it would become enabled. But if I wanted to create the entire UI programmatically, that would defeat my purpose... Just to be completely honest, I was a software developer for over 20 years, specializing in us...

So the Message Box can act as a code editor? I opened one when I was trying to find a code editor in the IDE, but I thought it was just a user interface object like the ones on the palette (in this case, a message dialog box that is to be opened when the user clicks on a button or gets an error whil...

Hi, LiveCode newbie here. I am just playing around with LiveCode right now and prefer to try creating a user interface programmatically for learning purposes, if possible. Under Core Concepts in the LiveCode docs, there is a page called “Programming a User Interface” which suggests it can be done pr...
