Re: LiveCode Builder Foreign Function Interface for Beginners
Hi Everyone, So I’ve been keeping track of this thread along with the other one mentioned and also had a look at a LiveCode Lessons presentation for LCB about working on widgets and creating libraries. Nothing about FFI but I’ve been perusing the GitHub’s of some known widget devs and it seems like ...

LiveCode Builder Foreign Function Interface for Beginners
Hello everyone, I’m looking for a beginners guide to utilising LCB to bind to third party library DLLs and SOs and expose functions found within to LiveCode. When I first started with Revolution 2.0, there was a great Hello World tutorial stack that described everything line by line in a way that he...

Re: Announcing Xavvi, a Great Leap Forward for App Building
I just want to chime in on the whole "AI will make or break a business" thing that was discussed earlier. Personally, I'm not fussed about AI taking my job so much as I'm more concerned about the power consumption for the hardware required to run AI and what that means for the climate. Let's not for...

Re: Best Way to Load Externals
Hi Jacque and mwieder, So yeah, the testing I did seems to confirm what mwieder (Is it Mark? It's been a while since I last saw your name and cannot remember it.) said. It seems the IDE does something odd in that creating a runtime stack, setting the external property for it and then setting the beh...

Re: Best Way to Load Externals
Hi Jacque, The behaviour stack is just a stack created at runtime, it does not have a presence on disk, my main stack just creates the stack in memory, sets the Externals property to the XML library and then sets its Behavior property to the new stack. If I put the new stack into the back/front scri...

Re: Best Way to Load Externals
Hi Jacque,
The behaviour itself loads fine, I added a little function that would just return the number 1 to the caller and called it from the mainstack and that is fine, but the External attached to the behaviour stack just will not have it for some reason.

Re: Best Way to Load Externals
Hi Jacque, I did some further testing and from what I can gather using an external from a behaviour stack in a standalone just flat-out does not work or it is a Standalone home stack quirk. I carried out a series of tests to confirm this: 1. I swapped from setting the behaviour property of my main s...

Best Way to Load Externals
Hi Everyone, I'm working on a command line app and currently have a Startup handler that pretty much carries out all execution of the application, parsing and processing command line arguments, writing to StdOut, carrying out the main application logic. One of the dependencies of the app is the XML ...

Re: Creating SHA Encrypted Values
So looking at the MessageDigest function, it does indeed spit out a digest of the data, but I was wondering how I would go about converting that into the alphanumeric string that you would get from Mark Smith's library or PHP. For example, if I put Hello World into an online SHA256 generator, I get ...

Re: The 9.5 IDE Chugs
By the way, is there a keyboard shortcut for switching through the Message Box panes? It used to be Ctrl+M to activate it which is still the case and then Ctrl+Comma to move through each pane, but that doesn't seem to work now.

Re: The 9.5 IDE Chugs
Hi Richard, I had a look at disabling Real-Time Protection and restarted the 9.5 IDE and found it still lagged behind. But having downloaded the 9.5.1 IDE, it has made a difference, I also looked through the preferences options for the script editor and disabled some features such as live error dete...

The 9.5 IDE Chugs
Hello, So I've just got back into LiveCode after nearly 4 years away, and I picked up 9.5 and I'm pleased with the changes except one. The IDE chugs and I mean chugs, typing in the Script Editor can result in a delay of around 2 seconds before the characters appear and Task Manager shows the engine ...

Re: Creating SHA Encrypted Values
I'm looking forward to seeing the messageDigest function get updated, hopefully it will have some clear documentation to help users figure out the correct syntax to generate say a SHA3 hash or other hash types.

Re: revMessageBoxRedirect Missing on Standalone
Added the feature request onto the QCC, if anyone has any additional IDE only features they would like to see tested for addition to the standalone engine, feel free to drop a comment on the QCC post.
