Docs for IDE hooks

I wanted to pass along some tips to a budding plugins developer on how to use the new IDE APIs, but had a difficult time finding that documentation in the v8 or v9 installs. After poking around a bit on the web I was able to find this handy blog post:

It does not appear that developer's email addresses are visible from livecodeshare.runrev.com. Might be an issue with the web page or maybe some devs opt not to post it. Bob S > On Jun 23, 2017, at 16:50 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > Thanks

Re: Set the imagesource of a character to a built in graphic

Okay so here is an odd thing. Given that the imageSource of char 1 of eack line of a scrolling field is set to a graphic (A plus sign in this case): on selectionChanged put the clickChar into tChar if tText is not space then exit selectionChanged put word 2 of the clickLine into tLine

Eric Chatonet, the author of ListMagic, passed away in January 2009. Jim Bufalini, a business partner of Eric, if i remember right, sold and supported the product for some time to support Eric´s family. But i am afraid it is not sold anymore. The last post of Jim Bufalini to this list was

Set the imagesource of a character to a built in graphic

I am trying this: set the imageSource of char 1 of line 1 of field "Scrolling List Field" to image ID 200086 No workie. How do I refer to a built in graphic? I use this to refer to imported graphics. Bob S ___ use-livecode mailing list

ListMagic still available?

I hesitate to ask but, I found a demo of ListMagic I'd like to use but it won't run and I'd like to purchase it. Is it still available? It was published by SoSmartSoftware, but that web site no longer exists. Bob S ___ use-livecode mailing list

Creating installers when packaging a Levure application

Hey list, If you attended my session on Levure at LiveCode Global Jam you may have heard me mention that installers couldn’t be automated yet. Well, now they can. Levure 0.9.1 was pushed out today and it adds some features to “helpers” that allow the creation of installers during the packaging

I second this motion! PLEASE! We must have some way to work BEFORE the eternals are loaded. Furthermore, we should be able to define where the externals will be saved and loaded. Requiring that externals must be in the same directory as the exe is far to limiting! New DataGrids and fancy

For a loop you would do something like: repeat with i = 1 to the number of chars of tVar step 1000 put char i to i+1000 of tVar into tVar2 -- do something with tVar2 end repeat bob s > On Jun 22, 2017, at 12:36 , Devin Asay via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi

For the record, we have problems scanning from copiers to file shares on Windows 10 Pro or Home (home is more of an issue). I had a user a couple days ago where the first scan worked fine, but the second scan wasn't accepted. This happened every time. I set the scan folder up in the

Hello all, I took Mark’s and Peter’s advice and tried Affinity Designer and recompiled for DP7. Color SVG widget works again. That is cool! And indeed the SGV churned out by Affinity works in the widget immediately . With a few problems remaining that I hope to be able to pin point with maybe
