It's been a while since I've used the QCC, or LiveCode in fact, but I could make a feature request there and link it here if you would like?

So part of my Hydra app is the ability to emulate the use of the Message Box in a standalone environment like a terminal or shell of sorts and after some testing, I've found the functionality doesn't exist in the Standalone engine. Is this deliberate or just an omission? I'm running on 7.1.4 Stable....

So I was noseying through the LiveCode website and noticed some of the plans for 8.0 and I thus I have a couple of questions I was hoping could be answered regarding the new release: 1) In the website it states that 8.0 will automatically native-themed objects for your stack, will this mean that a p...

If I might interject and I apologise if this has already been mentioned earlier in the thread, but perhaps the changes you suggest such as those to setProp/getProp and the Result, should be postponed until a time when the language will get overhauled as was planned on the roadmap back in 2013. From ...

That's what I figured would be the case, I'll take a gander at perusing the front scripts at some point today and see if they are trapping MouseDown or MouseUp. The only extra plugin I have loaded is one I made that has been kicking on since 5.5 and has never introduced any lag, it makes use of Mous...

Hi Richard, Nope, it is on Windows 8.1 and it is nothing but the vanilla scripts that the IDE loads, I haven't tried it as a standalone so maybes I should do that, I just thought the engines would be unified in functionality such as those. EDIT: Upon further inspection, it seems to only be in the ID...

Hi Mark, I was wondering if you could shed some light here as I wonder whether an issue I'm having may be connected to the arrays performance in some way: I am working on my new project called Hydra, it is intended to be a console like PowerShell and Bash for Windows, Mac and Linux and with it, it h...

I'm not sure if anyone but a handful of us enjoys such arcana, but since I do I'll be adding a new section to the revision to RevNet I'm working on, which will include info on the undocumented elements I've collected (all the way down to the long-since-deprecated-but-delightfully-mysteriously-named...

Well looking at the source code for LiveCode has just opened up some major PTSD, I'm getting the shakes all over again. I think with the engine being open source, it may be cool for the developers to possibly document the likes of _Internal and revMessageBoxRedirect even if they come with a warning ...

Hi. I see you take the time to "TitleText" each word in your scripts. Do you find that more readable? (Do You Find That More Readable?) Just wondering... Craig Newman Erm...I don't know how it came to be exactly and now that I think about it, I don't seem to notice a difference between the lower ca...

Hello Richard, good to hear from you again dude :) I've been trying for the past hour or so to reimplement the code of the Message Box in a seperate stack including dependent functions so that I could use the debugger to step through the code and see if there was a method that I was just glossing ov...

So, I am making a shell application which is modelled after the Message Box and I feel like this should be really easy but after combing the Message Box script to see how it does it, I am still baffled as to how the Message Box catches the results of some syntax say Put revLoadedStacks() and then di...

Greetings folks, So I got to try out LiveCode 7.0.3 today and I have to say I am impressed, the engine is the fastest I've used since the open source revamp began, I am looking at my Binary File Copying Stack v2.0 project (I might have a gift for others if this goes to plan, would be nice to have so...

Hi Jacque, I used your Wait 1 With Messages line in my original test stack and it was working fine yesterday however upon integrating the full copy file function into my main project, it just outright refuses to listen to that line and what is more is that if I load up my test stack, the line is als...

So I've been tinkering with a way to copy files of various sizes without locking up the entire UI of LiveCode and so far I have gotten part way near to it with the idea to divide the file size up into chunks of 512, so we take the file size in bytes and divide it by the size of the chunk (i.e. 1024 ...
