LiveCode Forums

Hi all, I just created an enhancement request, feel free to add comments: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22859 I was really suprised nobody had asked for this before!? Klaus Hey Klaus, thanks for doing that - what is the etiquette for feature requests like this? Should one add a 'me t...

@bogs : Chill dude, i was just being facetious :P :P :P Having said that: I can't remember where i read that about DuckDuckGo (and i'd defer to your expertise as that's not my main sphere of business), but the following are true of it: It's hosted in the US, so it is de facto subject to the Patriot ...

Pretty sure DuckDuckGo was recently caught recording data as well... never heard of the others.

Anonymity on the net is a pipe dream... but the real question is do I care if the NSA know I’m searching for livecode code

Hi Max,

a quick search found a forum entry that answers this exact question:

google is your friend

The "Treeview" widget can do exactly that, display array data in the IDE (and runtime of course)! Thanks Klaus - will keep Treeview in mind (although it's not what i'm looking for this project - the viewing of data was mainly for testing purposes). I presume then that the same still applies - i cre...

Thanks AxWald - very helpful. Was mainly asking as the IDE allows you to endlessly add subproperties to properties: https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/0660/58cpmyyfpkx7u0l6g.jpg For my particular project would have been helpful to view the data directly in the IDE as it's a fairly complex data struct...

I've been largely Googling for info as and when needed. You are entirely correct Richard - the User Guide PDF is very helpful, thanks for pointing this out -- will definitely make it my first port of call...
I'm still surprised at how 'expressive' the liveCode language is...

Yeh i think i've encountered the first issue where to change a property you have to put it into a variable and write it back... will keep these idiosyncrasies in mind... thank you

... I think you will not be able to address an individual subnode element of a custom property ... Thanks SparkOut - I suspected as much. Was just asking as you can easily create these structures in the IDE but it seems bizarre that these are inaccessible from code :-( Would have been nice to have ...

Thanks Craig, I thought i'd done something like this and it worked - but it wasn't what i was looking for. Unless I'm completely missing the point of your code? (very possible!). I had tried the following which works: set the root[node_x] of this stack to "xxx" put the root[node_x] of this stack -->...

Hi all, I was hoping to replicate a moderately complex data structure using a custom property in the stack. I was hoping to create a custom property set (call it 'root') with multiple child nodes ('node_x'), of all of which will have about 18 sub-nodes('subnode_x'). I can create this easily enough i...

Sorry, no idea. Thanks for the rapid response Klaus! By class I meant the classical “blueprint” from which to create instance objects. Good to know we can sorta do this for interface elements. If I modify a template I presume that changes for the lifetime of the app? Or do the changes stay in scope...

So that’s a bit like a class then?
Is this only for graphics?

Having checked out Devolution , i really do like it -- it's truly a well thought out utility and I can see how the will become indispensable for laptop use... great job! Quick question as i'm still learning LC - how do i access the source code? Also - what's the correct forum for some minor feedback...

You can read more about devolution here: https://fourthworld.com/products/devolution/index.html It's free to use with source available, and auto-updates when a new version is available (I'm working on another update as we speak). Wow that looks amazing! Will definitely check it out when I’m back at...
