Re: determining which widget is focused object
I realize that I'm several years late to this thread, but I wanted to note for future passers-by that the comments here and bug reports about this 'problem' are basically misinformation... An Extension Builder Widget does NOT send any events at all by default, and they aren't meant to. The Extension...

Re: Exporting text to SVG
However, I have no wish to display SVG images in a browser, I might want to import SVGs as vector objects to use as, say, scaleable icons/buttons. <svg width="800" height="800" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <text x="50" y="50" font-family="Arial" font-size="16"> <tspan x="50" dy="1.2em">विद्य...

Re: Does anyone know of a Scrollbar widget suitable for us with HTML5?
Really, anyting is better than the two little arrows control. Maybe a line with a circle that would mimic the thumbposition? here what it looks like now in the attachement.farmscreenshot.jpg Thanks for replying! Happy New Year, by the way.

Re: Palette stack of Custom Controls
Cool, I borrowed some of that cross-stack-drag-drop code from some demo stack that I'd found on LiveCode shares site. I have reused it in a few different palettes now, I love me some drag & drop. I actually have a newer version of this stack with a few more improvements, so I will have to compare sc...

Re: playing media on linux
The player does work...well it sort of works, but there are no 'transport' (Play,Pause,etc.) controls when running under Linux, but you can make it work via scripting.

Re: Maze Generator
I spent hours looking for a way to simply import Livecode graphic points as a CSV file into a 3D program to extrude the map. Absolutely astonishing poor results. Everything for previous versions of Blender are broken, and every script on some stackexchange or whatever for multi-gigabyte installed s...

Re: LiveCode Builder Foreign Function Interface for Beginners
I'll break down a C API binding string from that other thread: private __safe foreign handler _ReadBackAnalogOut (out rBuffer as CInt) returns nothing binds to "c:K8055D>ReadBackAnalogOut!stdcall" private -- means this handler will be invisible outside of the context of the current Extension module....

Re: LiveCode and HyperStudio
I suspect that was a feature of OS 9. The HC team had access to the system source code as well. Access? Heck, Bill Atkinson wrote bunches of it, you know like 'QuickDraw' was one of his other projects (along with the awesome and fun MacPaint). This feature may have been in part of the Macintosh Too...

Re: LiveCode and HyperStudio
A tear-off Layout palette Could you please explain whay you mean by 'tear off' as I do not understand that? Is that different from, say, clicking on a button to open a palettised subStack? In HyperCard there were some IDE menus that you could drag or 'tear' out of the menu to display it as a floati...

Re: LiveCode and HyperStudio
Paul, Thanks for the tip on the HyperCard simulator. It is so much faster than viewing stacks on the internet archive and I don't have to launch a classic Mac emulator. I've been using Pierre Lorenzi's HyperCardPreview application for working with HyperCard stacks. (https://github.com/PierreLorenzi...

Re: LiveCode and HyperStudio
If you're just prototyping a thing and then exporting it to a HTML5 webpage, eventually rebuilding the thing in LiveCode, then it might make more sense to use Dan Gelder's (who made 'Serf' back in the late 1990s) HyperCardSimulator web app https://hcsimulator.com , since even the script would mostly...

Re: Getting the key code
I'm pretty sure the rawKeyCodes enums list was set up way back when in the 1990s and, since MetaCard was a HyperCard clone, I'm guessing they were probably set to match HyperCard/classic macOS Roman character set, which BTW included some non-standard char that were actually used as tokens in HyperTa...

Re: Distributable format
As ALL LC standalones come as a single file, there is no need for an installer. This is only true for Mac applications! On Windows you will end with a separate EXE plus one or more folders and maybe an external! That's not even technically true for macOS because your .app is actually a bundle, whic...

Re: Show Card Command
I know this thread is 5 years old, but I just found it and would interject. ShowAllCards, originating from HyperCard which ran on Moto 68K CPUs at less then 1MHz clock speed, IIRC the command simply visits every card (or range or marked cards only) as if the stack user had navigated to them, which m...
