Re: Editable page
I want users to be able to put a limited set of controls, like images, shapes, text, backdrop on a page. I have noticed that the size events, the choose [...] tool, drag me in mouseUp, go a long way. Things like resizing, setting the fonts etc. also look feasible. So a simple toolbar, te choose tool command and lockimg of some core objects (mainly the ones that control the toolbar)... Looks like it will get me there. I posted a similar question to the forum and got a sample stack that put me on the right track - normally I don't cross-post but the use-livecode list seemed a bit more active. --Maarten On Saturday, April 2, 2011, dunb...@aol.com wrote: LiveCode is more than powerful and flexible enough to do what you want. Simple, to boot. The problem is that you might give away too much control, so that the whole app could be trashed by your users since you either have to give access to IDE tools, or permit only choices from a menu of properties, say. Fortunately, you can lock the core objects. Do you want to give just a limited, preset number of options to the user when a new control is created, or allow all properties to be adjusted? If the former, I can think of a few cute gadgets that would be fun to implement. Write back...

I can set the tool to [ ... ]. Think an editable page. But my problem then is (let's take an image for example): - how do I make it so that the user can add an image to the placeholder - move the image - resize it Same for lines, texts, ... any ui element, really - I am trying to create a mock-up tool. My thoughts were be that I: a) have the user add the object to the the stack b) dynamically attach handlers to the newly created object that implement any desired object-specific behavior (i.e. move. (reset image source, crop, ...) How do I add the handlers dynamically (I really haven't been able to find it), and moreover, where do I store these templates in the overall stack. I think I haven't wrapped my head around the LiveCode model to do these more dynamic things, *any* help would be greatly appreciated!!!

The LC way for code libraries?
Hi, Simple question for people here, but something you wonder when you come from a non-LC code environment. What's a good way to create and store a non-UI code library in a LC project (a.k.a. business logic)? Say I'd want to implement a WebDAV client, which is a back-and-forth kind of flow. Or anu other protocol will do as a mental model Where would you store all the support functions for the protocol? Right now I can only see this happening on the stack level, but there I'm still fairly clueless.

DELETE, PUT http
Hi, I there a way to have LIvecode do PUT and DELETE via http/https, hopefully witj digest authentication? So you can use the UI tools to integrate with REST services? I see great chanches here :-) Suddenly firing a lot of questions, because after years of using LC/runrev for small things I want to do some more heavy lifting. Coming from a Scala/Scheme/Rebol background I get the event model, but I need to learn some library tricks (as with any new language) and get a model of how to do some larger scale programming. So far, things look pretty good with LC. Once I get it compketely into my system I'll start really using the mobile version as wel. But... Step at a time.

Re: DELETE, PUT http
Hoi Maarten, POST and GET are supported. PUT and DELETE are not. Use LC's put url command to send data using the GET method. Use the post url command to send data using the POST method. POST example: put x=1y=2 into myData post myData to url http://domain.com/bla.php; GET example: put http://domain.com/bla.php?x=1y=2; into myUrl put url myUrl into myDataReturned Keep in mind that the put command in the second line of the last example has nothing to do with the PUT method used to connect to PHP (or iRev for that matter). -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 3 apr 2011, at 16:14, Richard Gaskin wrote: Maarten Koopmans wrote: I there a way to have LIvecode do PUT and DELETE via http/https, hopefully witj digest authentication?

Re: The LC way for code libraries?
Richard, Thanks for reminding me of your article, lot of useful info in it. I'm currently inserting the script of a button as a front script. The script contains handlers for some standard messages (eg mouseUp, menuPick) that I need to grab before they on through the normal message path, but it also includes some custom handlers I've written which don't correspond to any of the standard messages. Is there any advantage to restructuring this so that the standard message handlers are inserted as front scripts but my custom handlers are used via the start using mechanism (after moving them to a stack script of course)? As far as building standalones, I currently set the stackfiles property of my application's main stack to the stack file holding my handlers which seems to work fine but I get the sense that you don't use the stackfiles but load the library stack manually at run time. If so, what are the advantages of doing it that way rather than using the stackfiles property?

Colour Palette makes it easy for web designers and graphic artists to keep track of colours used in various projects. You can build and arrange colour schemes for each project, tracking each colour purpose and having immediate access to the RGB and Hex values for each colour.
