LiveCode Forums

Hi Terry. This should be pretty easy to port to MacOS. Maybe I can also help to port it to iOS and see if I can get it submitted. I've never done an iOS app before so this might be good training for me.

It occurs to me that the Datagrid library must already do this. If you delete a line, don't the following lines renumber themselves?

Change is painful, and letting go of the past is difficult, but I say unshackle the team and move forward. Keep the legacy engines available for older code to run on older systems, but don't let compatibility issues interfere with moving the platform forward. OSes will continue to evolve, hardware ...

As LiveCode moves forward we are increasingly being 'held back' to a certain degree with the need to retain (as far as is practical) existing script compatibility. [*]revXML and revDB functions should be returning (abstract) strings and not raw data [*]'the result' not being a global variable and b...

Does this not work with array keys as with everything else? Why make arrays a special case? That will just introduce more conf...

I think getProp/setProp should remain as they are. They are customer *properties* not custom *handlers*. Built in properties can be set/gotten when messages are suppressed. Why confuse things? If you don't want them to fire, don't use a custom property, or else check to see if messages are locked be...

I did. It was rejected for being too large.

I have created a simple Spinner runtime to address the problem of blocking operations preventing the spinner from animating. Apparently attachments here are very limited, so contact me off list at bobs @twft. com to get your hands on it. This is MAC ONLY, unless someone else wants to piddle with it ...

The spinner does not work while a script is running, so far as I have been able to tell.
