LiveCode Builder is a language for extending LiveCode's capabilities, creating new object types as Widgets, and libraries that access lower-level APIs in OSes, applications, and DLLs.
I'm trying to manually load some extensions into a project. I have a splash stack that is making the following calls prior to opening the stack file that has the widgets in it.
put "modules/" into item -5 to -1 of theExtensionPath
load extension (theExtensionPath & "svgIconButton.lcm")
load extension (theExtensionPath & "labelText")
I've confirmed that theExtensionPath & "svgIconButton.lcm" points to a valid path. I don't get any message in 'the result'. Should load extension be working? If so, any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?
Never mind, I got it working. I had left one extension out and had misnamed two of the files when moving the module.lcm files into my app distribution folder.
Just a note that I have now successfully built and run a standalone using LC 8 and 19 extensions! I am manually loading all of the extensions right now which is a little cumbersome as I have to copy things around each time I update one. (My understanding is that we will be able to specify extensions to build into a standalone with DP-3.) But other than that, everything is looking fantastic.
