Re: Script widgets: How to emit a message than can be managed in widget's script?

But you have to capture the message in the card script rather than the widget's (i.e. after adding to a card) This isn't the intention- you are supposed to be able to handle the message in the widget object's script. I'll have to check but potentially this is a dp 5 bug which will be fixed in dp 6.

Re: How to debug script widget?

I had not noticed that `put <string>` does not work from a script widget... that was certainly not intentional! I think the failure of log is to do with a pre-existing issue about calling handlers implemented outside the widget which we're hoping to resolve asap.

Re: How to debug script widget?

Hi stam, You should be able to debug the script widget in the normal way when developing it, with breakpoints. If this is not working then I'm not sure why, although if your widget identifier starts com.livecode. then you will need to put true into gRevDevelopment to get its breakpoints to trigger. ...

Re: Tri-state control widget

Oh strange - that should work. Possibly a bug- either that or I've forgotten the correct syntax for it!

Re: Tri-state control widget

Hi stam, To use an enum editor in the PI for your switchValue property, you just need to return comma delimited `options` as metadata. You can change the label associated with each enum value using `|`, so you might do /* Metadata */ getProp propertyMetadata[pProperty] switch pProperty case "switchV...

Re: hide message box

Usually if the message box opens unexpectedly it's because of a 'rogue put statement', that is a `put` statement with no `into`. In the bottom left of the message box there is a little 'target' symbol. If you click that it should take you to the line of script with the rogue put on it (assuming that...

Re: Word Helper Web App

Hi Bob! That's a cool idea, I like your stack - I did a thing that's somewhat similar (https://alilloyd.livecodehosting.com/wordlc/suggester/suggester.html), although most of my effort went into trying to suggest the optimal word and is really a companion to a 'solver' I wrote (https://alilloyd.live...

Re: Wordle problem (For Ali Lloyd)

Hi Craig, apologies - I was trying to submit to the iOS app store, and due to the many hoops I had to jump through I made a mistake while changing that to a svg widget checkbox. Should be fixed now. Incidentally, they still will not allow me to submit it to the app store due to 'copycat' rules, desp...

Re: Only Connect

Heh, me, Katie and Paul have done the CiSRA hunt since around 2011 - I think we came about 13th in 2012! Our team name in the smaller hunts is ManMaths or some variation thereon. We used to have a few more people from the Manchester maths dept doing the Australian hunts around that time, and got a f...

Re: Only Connect

Ah cool, that was probably the most successful of the ones we wrote I reckon! Are you part of a small UK based contingent of a mostly American team? Have you ever been there in person? I would love to some day!

Btw, my latest ep is up on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl9j2V81y8Y
