LiveCode Forums

FYI - After some further testing around building standalones for a non-Levure app and using it on mobile, I made some changes to the installation instructions. You will find new instructions on the GitHub pages and new version available for download. DataView Repo: https://github.com/trevordevore/le...

Hi, I've updated the DataView and DataView Tree code in my GitHub repos with a script that will load all of the necessary files for developers who are not using the Levure framework. You will find updated instructions in the README, a link to the latest release, and a link to a demo project showing ...

Hi all, I've uploaded a Spell Checker library to Github. It works on macOS and Windows*. Features: - Uses system spell checker on macOS (NSSpellChecker). - Uses Hunspell for Windows. - Command for flagging misspelled words in a field which uses the LiveCode `flagged` property. - API for implementing...

Thanks for testing @AnydP!

Which version of Windows and LC did you test with?

Hi everyone, I've been working on wrapping hunspell in LCB and could use help verifying that it works on Windows systems other than my own. So far I've tested using LiveCode 9.6 dp-4 on Windows 10 and Windows 8. The project currently uses version 1.6.2 for Windows. The last version released is 1.7.0...

Hi @mrcoollion, Currently there isn't a guide for migrating an existing project over. But we can use this thread to guide you through the process and then put what we learn up on the wiki. Below is an overview of where you can start with links to relevant wiki pages. Ask for clarification where need...

Your code only returns a boolean value if the FFI call succeeds (at least the code you posted). It doesn't return `false` if the FFI call fails. So it may be working in your tests but it needs to be modified to be work correctly in call cases. Are you calling `SetSpeechSynthesizerDelegate` anywhere ...

1) `post` in LCB is the equivalent of `dispatch` in LCS. You just need to define a `finishedSpeaking ` command in your test stack to process the message. 2) In LCB you need to return the type defined in the handler definition. So `SynthesizeSpeech` just return a Boolean value. Since `Objc_NSSpeechSy...

Yes, it would be nice to have a lot of examples showing when to use ObjcId vs ObjcRetainedId.

In this case I *think* the reason is that you are taking ownership because you are allocating and initializing the object.

That is most likely the cause. A LiveCode String is not an Objective-C String. You need to pass an ObjcId. So this: ObjC_NSStringInitWithString(in pObj as ObjcID, in pString as String) Should be this: ObjC_NSStringInitWithString(in pObj as ObjcID, in pString as ObjcId) And you would pass the result ...

An NSArray is a "A static ordered collection of objects." so yes, ListFromNSArray is going to return a List of objective-c object ids. Regarding ObjcID and ObjcRetainedID - I don't have a great understanding of these and I always have to refresh my memory when I start coding in LCB again. But here a...

Ah, that is an array of EKEvent objects. You have to loop through the array and extract each object. Take a look at the AppCastItemsToArray handler in my Sparkle project on Github. It creates an LCB list from an NSArray and then converts each AppCastItem object in the list to an array in LCB. Look a...

It's been a while since I've used LCB on iOS but it should be the same if you are using Objective-C libraries included with iOS.

You need to wrap your code in an unsafe/end unsafe block. Take a look at code from my GitHub repo for examples:

You need to include the necessary LCB libraries.
