So I tried making a buffer that I can pull waiting messages from in a "send in time" loop in LCS. It works well enough for a bit, you can see my "send checkMIDIin" loop picking up MIDI note messages from another app and putting them into a text field while in the background, if I don't play too fast...

I use message box a lot to help me debug, and then comment them out later once things are working, like this: put the long name of the topstack into t_stack --<-- the long name could do the trick put t_stack & cr --- <-- comment out later put the cardids of t_stack into t_cards -- <-- notice that I ...

If I just "Post" with [tStatusbyte, tByteA, tByteB], WITHOUT providing any Target ScriptObject, from within my ReadProcBlock then the MIDin handler in my Stack's Script receives all the messages, even when the Engine/Stack is not the foreground app. That works sort of, it still crashes the engine wh...

ScriptObjects are weak references to the object you create it from - so they don't change, just become invalid if the (script) object is deleted. It sounds like the API you are using only sends a callback once... Maybe you have to re-register the callback each time you want one? (A bit like the way...

What happens if you capture ‘the caller’ rather than evaluating “this stack”? Do your callbacks work as expected? When I put the caller into sTarget, sTarget then points to the button in my stack that calls the Client Create LCB handler, but it behaves similar. It only fires once from the backgroun...

I have an LCB handler in a library that Posts back to the engine, passing 3 parameters to an LCS handler in a Stack Script... The ScriptObject to send to is set-up during initialization of the LCB library and stored in a global scoped variable... The problem is that the Stack Script LCS handler only...

(That being said I did think x86/-64 powered android phones could run ARM apps under emulation - but maybe that depends on the device.) I few years back when I messing around with Android builds I got the idea to use Android X86/X86_64 builds (such as BlueStacks, AndroidX86) because Android SDK's (...

After just a quick view on this thread I can say that there is no way to use LC native controls (buttons, fields etc) in a widget, isn't it? Everything must be "designed" on the go, am I right? Can someone give me some hints about this? Correct, in pure LCB (IE without using Foreign Function Interf...

Thanks Paul. You solved it. I had - Standalone App Settings > Inclusions > Search for required inclusions When I changed it to - Standalone App Settings > Inclusions > Select inclusions, and manually selected my new library It worked fine on my Android device. I should have thought of that. Doh! Th...

As a test I just copied the Mac OS (Mohave 10.4.x) app/bundle TexEdit.app to an NTFS formatted drive shared from a Windows server over SMB file sharing and it launched on the Mac from there without a problem.

I thought some Windows setups could preserve things like the executable bit, like the way that some WinNT servers supported the classic Mac OS 9 resource forks back in the day? And there's software like "MacDrive" for Windows that let you use Mac HFS+ formatted drives in Windows, as well as other so...

Thanks Paul. Try & Catch don't seem to have been implemented in LCB. They don't appear in the dictionary and I get a compile error if I try to use them. I haven't worked with Log before. I've tried a few things, based on what I read in the dictionary, but I can't work out how to output what has bee...

Hey Paul, Good to hear you found undocumented stuff, pretty much what I live for doing myself haha :D I've found a dev blog post talking about the additions to the API which were apparently added to work around problems using CoreMIDI with Swift 1.x It seems the returned data has also changed, sinc...

Well of course I got it working right after I posted, smdh! Screen Shot 2020-04-12 at 9.41.37 PM.png I can see (screenshot) the callback firing and being logged along with the two elements of the MIDINotification struct. Yeah! In fact it seems it's firing 4 times, I guess once for each MIDI source/...

Thanks to the Stay At Home campaign thingy I now have an Indy license for a year, I don't do any commercial development but I figured maybe I would help a little bit to pay some bills at the LC mothership... but since I did, does this entitle me to some extra support or something? I really would lik...
