Re: server difficulties coming from LC7, or new host?
Phil, Did you open a support ticket? I have found LiveCode to be very responsive. It would potentially be helpful for them to see a simple recipe stack which duplicates the problem. Maybe there is some global config parameter which needs changed - and they could test and resolve it very quickly.

Re: screen readers
Phil, Indeed, LiveCode does not currently support Accessibility. I have used a variety of automation software like AppleScript and WinAutomation - and only the outline of the window and the window controls are visible. In fact, I lost a sale last week because my software could not be used with JAWS screenreader software. This is a 2nd project for which I am interested in contributing to financially using my Business Edition credits. I spoke with LiveCode engineering about this very issue. If you look at the new pricing page, you will see info about a Business Feature Exchange (tooltip for Add a Feature on the pricing page). This Business Feature Exchange does not yet formally exist. But when it does, Business Edition customers will be able to pool their resources to get features like this added. Accessibility could potentially be added as a 2 phase project. Phase #1 - Due to the way the Tooltip feature is implemented, it might lend itself to modification allowing some level of Accessibility for existing objects. All of my buttons already have useful tooltips, and this would be a nice stopgap measure. This idea would need investigated further by engineering to determine its practicality and cost/timeframe. I hope to proceed further along with this project after Project #1 has been completed. Phase #2 - New objects built as widgets could have Accessibility added in directly. If you or anyone else is interested in participating in the Business Feature Exchange, feel free to open an online chat session with Iain Morrison by clicking on the Lets Chat button on the pricing page (during business hours). By giving LiveCode Ltd. a heads up now, they might populate the Business Feature Exchange with a few starter projects as part of their rollout process.

Re: using Vimeo API (OAuth2) from a desktop app
Phil, Andre had a posting earlier this year where he stated that he used OAuth2 for his FaceBook Lib: https://www.mail-archive.com/use-livecode@lists.runrev.com/msg49456.html And his FaceBook Lib is located here: http://andregarzia.com/pages/en/facebooklib/ David Simpson www.fmpromigrator.com On Nov 24, 2014, at 3:27 PM, Phil Davis rev...@pdslabs.net wrote: Hey folks - I need to write a Vimeo code lib so my desktop app can do stuff in a single Vimeo account - see a list of videos (with thumbnails), upload a video, get a video URL, etc. The API endpoints themselves are not a problem for me, but I'm stumbling on the initial OAuth2 handshake. My app is registered with Vimeo and I have the authorization info generated for it. The Vimeo API playground is very helpful regarding API calls, but not so much on the initial login. The Vimeo docs are written for those with more web dev experience than I have, so I need some help. As I see it, I need a step-by-step rundown of the handshake/login/whatever process. Once I get as far as having the httpHeader I need for the first API request, I assume the headers won't change for subsequent requests. (I could be wrong but will cross that bridge when needed). If you have experience with the new Vimeo API that uses oauth2, I would greatly appreciate any insights or steps you might wish to share.

Re: getting data from the memory space of a hung app
Phil, You would probably have to prepare in advance for a situation like this, and use arrayEncode to create a binary form of the array and save it to disk. Maybe you would do this as certain intervals in preparation for a possible crash. Otherwise, there are debugging/hacking tools which can scrape info out of memory to perform these kinds of tasks.

This is on a Mac, probably OS 10.8.x or maybe 10.9.x. Right-clicking the app's icon in the Dock gives you the force quit option. The data is in an array. I created a stack my client can drag onto the app icon, which will [ideally] open it and save that array to disk, but I don't hold out a lot of hope that it'll open. I realize this is an extreme long shot but I told my client I would ask.

Re: LC and Apple Watch...
WatchKit should be straightforward to wrap using the new Widgets/Extensions feature discussed at the conference. Actually, Kevin’s blog posting gives a nice overview of the process: http://livecode.com/blog/2014/07/08/the-next-generation-widgets-themes/ There are examples on the USB archive of files from the conference. Once this new Widgets/Extensions feature is shipping, there is no reason RunRev has to add all of the features to the platform - and that is part of the beauty of the design. I think that we can look forward to a future where there are potentially thousands of Widgets and APIs available for our use. And Ben’s discussion of the new IDE features would seem to make searching/installing/updating these features much more seamless than we have ever experienced previously.

[ANN] VB6 to LiveCode Conversion Feature
4-23-2012 - Fremont, California - FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition 6.68 Adds VB6 to LiveCode Conversion Feature Microsoft VB6 developers looking to switch to the LiveCode cross platform development environment can now use FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition. This new feature automates the conversion of VB6 form files and Visual Basic code into LiveCode stack files. VB6 form object scripts are converted and added to card objects. The LiveCode version of the scripts are syntactically converted to match LiveCode syntax. The dot notation used to reference properties has been replaced with the equivalent LiveCode script. However most object property names will need to be manually changed to reflect the properties of LiveCode objects. VB6 developers routinely create multiple form objects having the same name, then reference the object properties like an array. Since LiveCode objects need to be uniquely named (or referenced by their object ID) to be used within a script, the converted scripts are changed accordingly. So for instance, a property referenced like: Field.Text[1] Field.Text[2] Gets changed as follows: the plainText of field Field[1] the plainText of field Field[2] As can be seen with this example, the object names will need to be manually changed to match the unique names shown in the script. VB6 Support Form Objects Include: PictureBox ImageBox Label TextBox Frame CommandButton CheckBox OptionButton - (grouped if within a Frame) ComboBox ListBox HorizontalScrollbar VerticalScrollbar DriveListBox DirectoryListBox FileListBox Slider TabDlg (Tab Control) Demo Version Available: Select the VB6 Demo Link at the top of the BASIC to LiveCode conversion page: http://www.fmpromigrator.com/services/basic_to_livecode_service.html#vb6main Open the VB6ToLiveCode Demo.livecode stack file from within the LiveCode IDE. Select Source and Destination directories, then click the Convert button. The VB6 project will be converted, and the new stack file will be left open at the completion of the conversion process. The demo version converts up to 5 forms/scripts, with unlimited project conversion available in the full production release. FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition is priced at ($600) per developer and includes a copy of FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition for both MacOS X (Universal Binary) and Windows platforms. Existing FmPro Migrator Developer Edition customers may upgrade to FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition for $400. For more info about the VB6 to LiveCode Conversion feature, please see: http://www.fmpromigrator.com/services/basic_to_livecode_service.html#vb6main .com Solutions Inc. develops multi-platform graphical applications supporting FileMaker Pro, SQLite, Oracle, MySQL, Access, SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, OpenBase, PostgreSQL, FrontBase, Valentina, VB6 and LiveCode developers.
