Accessing the Foundation library with LiveCode Builder

Hi all, Just taking a quick break from my holiday to let you know that I wrote another LiveCode Builder-centric blog post. This one's about using LCB "foreign" handlers to access functions in LiveCode's libfoundation library.

This sounds like there's a legacy flag on those older stacks but I'm not sure what it might be. If you file a bug report and attach one of the stacks or send one to Hanson we'll take a look. Mark. Sent from my iPhone > On 9 Sep 2015, at 19:11, Paul Dupuis wrote: > >

Scott, See the dictionary entry for "rectangle". There is a specific note that, as of LC6, the effective rect of a stack includes its decorations and window borders and is also settable. IMHO it was one of the best new features of LC6+. What I did nto realize, but discovered this week was that
