Programming LiveCode with LiveCode

2014-10-15 Thread JB
There have been hints that in the near future it will be possible to program LiveCode with LiveCode like you write scripts for your stacks. Now that foundation has been added they have been updating LiveCode and it sounds like they are using Grand Central Dispatch for some of the graphics. There

Hi John, I'm on board with all of that! Even though the LC community is relatively small, I agree 100% with you that a lot of people would start writing shared code that would greatly improve the LC IDE. AND if LC did that, it would start attracting a lot more programmers. I am of the opinion

I think I may have given the wrong phrasing... I would say I would like to be able to XML queries similar to what can be done by Regex (but not use regex to do the actual query). Basically, I have found several references where XML language supports it's own style of regex like commands. Since

There is no way to search the dictionary, but I have made a replacement for it, which can do full searches: http://bjoernke.com/bvgdocu/ As a side note I really wish trueWord would be named humanWord instead, it'd make the distinction to the historic word much more immediate comprehensible. On

Secure Sockets

Hi all I'm rather uneducated with encryption stuff, so I wanted to try out secure sockets. However, most likely due to my incapability to understand what I'm doing, I've been unable to get a simple example working. I've used my own simplest socket client/server stacks from rev online, ran

If any one is interested, there is a related bug. When palette windows are hidden and redrawn, the redraw order of the windows reverses causing any overlapped widows to be positioned incorrectly. Submitted as: http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13685 . Thanks, John On Oct 15, 2014,
