Re: Me and target of script widgets
also brutal answer: documentation needs to be not just extended, but written for the property inspector and property editor, or you are going to be spinning your wheels trying to figure out that thing, too. this same issue has made writing lcb widgets so exceptionally painful that i've stopped wasting my time. the answer from the mothership has been "if you have some specific question, ask," which, of course leads to a slew of questions, which then go mostly or entirely unanswered.

Re: Me and target of script widgets
Hi David, Stam Kapetanakis has done a script widget which can be found at https://github.com/stam66/tristate/blob/main/com.sk.widget.tristate.livecodescript Script Widgets are new and a bit special. Not as much as LCB but still. You can use Stam's widget as a template of a working script widget. I learned a lot from it.

Re: Me and target of script widgets
Brutal answer :-) Script widgets aren't ready for release yet. They have (effectivtely) no documentation, no examples, no lessons. Unless you have a desparate need to do it now, I'd suggest waiting until they are somewhere near ready. Alex.

Me and target of script widgets
Having my first go at script widgets. It appears that there is either an issue (or it is a feature) with script widgets and "me"?
