Yes, this is a great new feature.
The problem is that nearly all my widgets were built in LC 8.1.1.
The HTML5 standalone builder of 9.0.0-dp7 supports now (except of
the browser widget) also widgets. But the handlers where script
access (to my script object) is allowed changed in LC Builder.
So I had first to rewrite the widgets to have them run in 9.0.0-dp7.

As such changes may occur again with each new dp-version, I'll
better wait until the first 9.0.0 stable version.
Hope you have more luck with your widgets.

I have to correct this: Recompiling is not enough because also
LC Builder has changed its behavior for important handlers
(especially for OnPaint).

But you may find some snippets in the lcb file that perhaps could
make your life easier when creating your own digital clock widget.

HI Ali

Thanks for popping in with a vary practical and edifying lesson in the
power of the widget program/display mechanics.
Basically OO MVC for widgets with - in this case at least - very low
coupling.

Maybe you or somebody on the list with greater  Livecode powers than me
 (not difficult) could create or even jumpstart  an Android  FFI  widget
around the print to printer functions  in the latest Android.

Specifically some type of widget that we could call to connect to a printer
on a local network. Writing to specific printers via bluetooth or without a
wifi network would probably be lot of work.

It would save so much aggravation and be a great addition to the widget
course and of  much more practical use to me and I dare say others than the
 battery checker  example - which I would wager is probably more difficult
-

If I have a need for a widget I ultimately put the time in to  understand
it better because I will modify it - or add something to it - but the
battery checker i've just glossed over the code.

The way I've got round my problem at the moment is Windows Tablets but it
pains me running Windows 10 on an 8 Inch tablet just to make it easy to
print. - although they work remarkably well.

I'm sure there are others who would like an easy way to connect to a local
networked printer.

Thanks in advance

Alternatively, take the clock widget and replace the OnPaint handler with

public handler OnPaint()
variable tTime as List
variable tComponent as Integer
repeat with tComponent from 1 up to 3
push mCurrentTime[tComponent] formatted as string onto tTime
end repeat
variable tTimeString as String
combine tTime with ":" into tTimeString

fill text tTimeString at center of my bounds on this canvas
end handler

for a digital clock widget. If you're feeling adventurous, make the OnPaint
handler draw an LCD-style digital display à la Hermann ;-)

I was maybe over thinking it since I was looking at a series of repeat
loops and implementing mouseclicks for stopping and starting.

Your solution is perfect since it is great for a time card solution and
with a little mod I can make it into a stop watch solution.

Thanks Mike.

I have found several Analog Clocks but with the component architecture I
thought this would be readily available ... maybe I am missing something.
